... should be, as it is otherwise useless). It’s a pretty easy project: you free the playhead from the player and then rub it over the fabric, creating some rather garbled, underwater-sounding sonic susurrations (the video is embedded below).
The ties cost $90 each, but for that you get the tape portion of the fabric hand recorded before weaving. This particular batch contains the designer’s own music, a soundscape of samples grabbed from the NYC metro system.

Ties made from old cassette tapes sort of feature audible playback

... tape head back and forth over the tie to kinda, sorta reproduce the sounds originally found on the cassette.
It ends up sounding like a bunch of gobbledygook but, hey, do your regular ties make weird sounds when you run a tape head over them? If so, your house is clearly haunted. Run!

Sonic Fabric: Ties Made From Old Cassette Tapes Play Back Sound (Sorta)
The UberReview —
... something that I despise (neckties). The tie fabric is 50% cotton and 50% old tape, and as an added bonus, if you run an old tape head over the tie you will be able to play back some of the original sound.
The thing is, with all the stretching and mixing with cotton, the sound will contain the original tape content, but probably won’t sound like anything much at all – just garbled random sounds; I don’t know if that makes the ties more or less awesome.

Necktie Made Out of Recycled Cassette Tapes
GEARFUSE —
... tapes lie waste, just waiting for a superhero to come and recycle them into a constructive use.
If you don’t have the patience to create an artist’s likeness with the innards of a cassette, maybe these Recycled Cassette Tape Neckties will strike your fancy. If there’s one thing I never even thought to imagine, it was that I’d be wearing cassette tapes in the future as formal wear. But hey, whatever works, right?
