looptapetapelooploop | analog ambient from tape noise
In the last video i discovered that „happy little accident“, the mechanical noise that the Portastudio makes during transport.
That sparked an idea in my head: What would happen if i recorded that noise to a loop cassette , process it and record the result to a tape loop.
During the process i added some more tape machines ( 3 in total) and to complete the holy trinity of loops a digital looper pedal
🎧Do i really need to mention that headphones or a decent pair of speakers would be a great idea?🎧
As in the last one i also made a „making of“ :
Gear used:
Tascam 414 MK I Portastudio
Loop cassette by . Muzik
Uher Report IC
Marantz SD 275
AKG c2000B
Koma Elektronik Field Kit
electromagnetic pickup
Amon loopstation
Bastl Instruments Bestie
Moore A7 Ambiance
DIY lp filter
Boss Harmonist
Ken Multi EFM-1500 Delay
Tc Electronics Fireworx
Ableton Live for final mix
Soundtoys littlePlate
Audio Thing Outer Space 2
Process:
I recorded 3 different tape machines and a decoration lamp.
Processed with the TC Fireworx (Pitch and Delay mostly) I recorded it to a tape loop.
Processed with a pitch and envelope fx and distorted by Bestie I recorded “drums“ to the loop pedal.
The performance setup:
- 4 tracks of noise on the Portastudio, 2 lovely fx on stereo returns, into the interface;
- the loop pedal (playing the “drums“) through reverb and filter into Bestie into the Interface;
(garnished with a tad of Delay in Ableton)
- the reel-to-reel loop into the interface
The latter was seasoned with a bit of reverb and Space Echo in Ableton.
Also eq, compression and a tiny bit of automation was added.
