10-19-14 Tape Loop Soundscape

10/19/2014

An experimental, improvised piece utilizing looping tape, and delay. 4 ostinati are recorded onto each of the TASCAM portastudio's tracks. They play perpetually because the cassette has been modified into an endless loop. The delay unit (Ibanez DD1000) also adds to the rhythmic texture by repeating these sounds via an effects loop. Its HOLD feature takes whatever sound is in its memory buffer and repeats it infinitely. It's sort of like a primitive sampler and creates very effective rhythmic variations on the source ostinato. Another technique is used on the arpeggiated synth motif. It is recorded onto track 2 and then mixed back with the original sound. As the tape moves at different rates, the arpeggios move in and out of phase with each other, creating new rhythms and melodies out of the original material.
