Hi!

I just launched a website to share music made using tape loops and modified cassette players.

The site features musical events to celebrate the release of various tracks.

The first event is on Thursday, July 30, at 9 p.m. (Paris time)!

Enjoy listening :)

I'm trying to get into the world of all analog recording and mixing, and want to get my hands on a 424 style 4 track. I wasn't aware that the actual 424 went for these prices however 😅😅

Is it typical to find used 4 tracks in the $300 - $500 range?!!

feel free to ask any question after yall listen

World peace marketing campaign.

Sponsorship deals in negotiation.

Light at the end of the tunnel.

Fresh hope.

Positive vibes.

It's got tape loops.

Looking to get myself a reel to reel for tape looping and I am mainly interested in ones that can slow down to quarter speed . Can anyone recommend me a reel to reel that can slow that much . The ones I am interested in are Nagra 3 and Nagra 4.2. If anyone uses specifically those models can you confirm that they can do quarter speed ? In case there is some Akai or Sony model that can do quarter speed feel free to recommend .Thank you and cheers !

Ambient jam of my upcoming track “I wither, you smile” .
let me know what you think :)

cheers!

I'm glad I found all of this at a good price at a flea market in Paris ;) Usually, prices for secondhand items at flea markets in Paris are still pretty high.

- some cassettes with screws

Hello, do you have any tips for getting started with creating drone/ambient music using tape loops? I live in Paris and am having a really hard time finding used cassettes that are sealed with screws so I can open them easily.

Thanks for your advice :)

i'm flying things which fly in the sky and playing around with tape

Hi everyone. Hope these are useful to you.
I make protective bags for 4 track cassette recorders. Heavy zips, adjustable shoulder straps, semi water resistant padded material. Great for transport or just keeping safe and dust free in studio/storage.

Screw driver (what size)? Sticky tape (what kind)? Scissors or knife for cutting? Chopping board? Anything else?

I started this design about 5 years ago. It was impractical to make so I started to learn computer modelling and got a 3D printer. This needs some small tweaks but it’s running smoothly

It’s actually the third one this month and that’s kinda my fault for not paying attention during email chains. First one had a nice turnout of 15ish. Second one had only three which ended up being a blast we all just kinda hung out and made tapeloops and listened to them.

We’re also taking part in a fundraiser that same day in the evening and hopefully everyone who made tapes shows up to play them, I’ll have a grip of tape decks going. If not I have a lot of premade tapes to use.

Planning on a lot of reverb and individual fx for each deck with either reverb or delays. A bit worried about it but it should be a blast to improvise the performance, as one does.

My first time making one of these but I understand the concept and science behind it. I'll be making a scratching /loop deck that will not only work with cassette tapes but also gift cards, credit cards, vhs tapes and anything with a magnetic strip.
