XTalk by HommAges (Craig Mulholland, Carmel O'Brien, MV Brown & Chaoying Rao)

XTalk is an art and design project inspired by cassette tape crosstalk, the unintended signal bleed between adjacent analogue audio tracks. Due to their tight proximity, magnetic audio fields are not perfectly contained and can leak beyond their track boundaries, producing faint reverse audio hauntings across either side of the cassette.
