about
Head tapes is an introspective ambient album that encapsulates the profound experience of musician Alex Coven’s recovery from a traumatic brain injury—a process that took the better part of a year.
Each track acts as a journal entry, meticulously crafted to mirror the musician’s journey towards healing. For every step forward in recovery, he’d face days that felt like two steps back. An endlessness—hopeless then optimistic then trepid then confident again. A reflection of the delicate balance between fragility and resilience.
Hauntingly beautiful compositions evoke the disorienting aftermath of the fall. Gentle, cascading melodies echo through the soundscape, symbolizing fragmented memories and fleeting thoughts. Breathing, bed sheets and blankets, the cracking of wood floors. A slowness that embodies the gradual emergence of clarity and introspection that happened over time.
By the end of the tapes, newfound strength and wisdom gained through the journey shows itself—a sonic testament to the strength of his spirit. And ultimately, proper healing for both Alex and listeners alike.
