about

Layers of vocoded cassette tapes, VHS warbles, warped vocals, percussive office supplies, bass guitar, and assorted found sounds.

"On his first self-titled LP as Glass Cassette, Hape has nailed a sound I really like. He’s a master craftsman, and very capable at transforming small snippets of sound and melodic ideas into living, breathing spaces to get lost within. And it makes the songs all the better knowing how personal some of these sounds, ideas and memories are to him. The result is a rock-solid collection of songs that effortlessly sweeps me up out of the present moment and into my own half-remembered past."

"Hape managed to record what easily stands as his most personal record to date, even if on the surface it appears to reveal nothing new about him. The accompanying press photos play up this aspect of the recording, with Hape’s face obscured by a coffee cup in one shot and blurred by ghostly pages from a book in another."

Columbus Alive: www.columbusalive.com/entertainment/20200812/jonathan-hape-embraces-fragility-with-glass-cassette

"Jonathan Hape is one of the most prolific musicians in the Columbus scene, probably the Midwest. Yet, still few know who he is... Mundane objects can serve us creatively or in a dull office environment. Childhood memories can be a source of great joy or conflict—often at the same time! Hape seemed to desire to acknowledge these truths while indulging in his inner experimental music geekhood."

Glass Cassette, what songwriter Jonathan Hape has dubbed his newest project and album, is a series of modern electronic, mostly instrumental, mostly chill songs that deal with nostalgia, loss, love, and isolation.
Glass Cassette's songs are entirely based around samples and loops from Jonathan's 2001 high school choir concert cassette, a warped VHS with local news, French 101 assessments, field recordings, and beats created from samples of office supplies and tools.
