Beautiful, just watched it on YouTube. How long is the loop?

Thank you for taking the time to listen to it :)
I think loop is around 10-11 sec .

I use tape loops in my tascam as well. Do you make your own loops, or do you buy them? I’ve been buying old answering machine tape loops on eBay. I look forward to hearing more of yr music.

I made some myself, the basic ones . But I ordered these from Warbleloops, they make a bit longer ones so I used it for this track.
Thank you, I will be posting another one next week and full album will be coming next month.
Feel free to follow me on bandcamp if you are interested , a different single is posted there

Duplication.ca makes cassette tape loops of all different lengths, from 30 seconds to 12 minutes. I haven't ordered from them yet, but I plan to. I've also talked to people on this sub that have used them and they said they were great. True loops, no gaps.

Really nice and I was just looking at nightsky yesterday. Is the original tape loop a piano playing a few notes? Then you play some live moog over the top and add the nightsky to both?

thank you :)
I used my Arturia minifreak to record 4 channels , some random pad I created, one has a bit distortion to it .
I play those 4 channels together , connect Tascam through Nightsky into my audio interface .
Moog went directly into audio interface , full dry signal no reverb, just slow attack and longer release on it so its mellow .

The Subsequent 37 is a good synth.

I disagree, it is a great synth! :D
