The Sonic Fabric Necktie is made out of recycled audio cassette tape and will actually play sound if placed on a tape head. The neckties are handcrafted in New York City out of Sonic Fabric, a material woven from 50% audio tape and 50% polyester thread. The audio tapes are salvaged from the audio book industry and are re-recorded with collages of sound before they are made into fabric. Sonic Fabric was invented by artist Alyce Santoro and the neckties were designed in collaboration with Julio Cesar.
