Led by Julian Koster (with longtime creative collaborator Robbie Cucchiaro, Thomas Hughes, the 7-Foot-Tall Metronome, Static the Singing Television, and a legion of singing saws), The Music Tapes use music, storytelling, games, and their own brand of magic to collapse the boundaries between pop experimentation, theater, and performance art. They have played in opera houses, a roving circus tent, and over 500 living rooms across North America.
