In music, tape loops are loops of magnetic tape used to create repetitive, rhythmic musical patterns or dense layers of sound when played on a tape recorder. Originating in the 1940s with the work of Pierre Schaeffer, they were used among contemporary composers of 1950s and 1960s, such as Steve Reich, Terry Riley, and Karlheinz Stockhausen, who used them to create phase patterns, rhythms, textures, and timbres. Popular music authors of 1960s and 1970s, particularly in psychedelic, progressive and ambient genres, used tape loops to accompany their music with innovative sound effects. In the 1980s, analog audio and tape loops with it gave way to digital audio and application of computers to generate and process sound.
In a tape loop, sound is recorded on a section of magnetic tape and this tape is cut and spliced end-to-end, creating a circle or loop which can be played continuously, usually on a reel-to-reel machine.
By accelerating the speed of a loop to a sufficient degree (e.g., 1,280 times faster), a sequence of events originally perceived as a rhythm becomes heard as a pitch, and variation of the rhythm in the original succession of events produces different timbres in the accelerated sound (Stockhausen "Concept", 42; Stockhausen "Vier Kriterien", 362–63).

Many people have asked about tape loops and how to do it themselves, so here is my long overdue video on how to make a cassette tape loop. In this video, I show you the basics of tape looping and the method I personally use to making my loops (there are many variations out there). You can use any tape (with screws) you want. Be patient, experiment, and don't get too frustrated - there is a lot of trial and error involved.

So I don't have a lot modules (yet), but I do have a bunch of tape players and tape loops, so I decided to combine them! The walkman on the lower right hand corner is playing a tape loop of a few ambient chords being run through the Mutable Instruments Clouds (and it's built in reverb). Clouds is then being fed into the Make Noise Rosie, with the Zoom MS-50G pedal in the effects loop of the Rosie module. In the middle of the song I also feed a tape loop into the Clouds freeze and trigger inputs and use the tape loop audio as a modulation source for Clouds. Also I built my own little eurorack case inspired by this video: https://youtu.be/mf0Z34LJ8Y8 Support my work on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/amuletsmusic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amuletsmusic/ Bandcamp: https://amulets...
Tape loop experiments with my Tascam 4 track recorder (part of my larger setup - The Suitcase of Drone). Each one of the 4 tracks on the cassette has a different note in E which forms a E major chord (with added 9th). I adjust each track to create a droning, evolving, ambient soundscape. The 4 track is also run through a Mooer Spark Echo/Reverb pedal.

In my normal setup I use 2 4 track recorders to playback and layer numerous tape loops. For this video, I wanted to experiment and take this idea further by using a large ensemble of walkmans and various length tape loops. This improvised ambient walkman "symphony" is recorded in real time, with all tape loops being mixed and processed through a caline reverb pedal and behringer delay.

Live ambient tape loop improvisation featuring my restored Library of Congress C-1 tape player. This truly unique tape player was originally designed to assist the blind and has several amazing features including variable speed tape playback, half speed switching, and the ability to play both sides of a tape without flipping the tape. I try to explore and utilize every feature of the C-1 and pair it with multiple tiers of extended textural tape loops.

four tape recorder techniques for minimal techno: 1) a tape loop system (1 recorder, top right) 2) long delay (2 recorders: top left and middle right) 3) reverse delay (bottom middle) 4) tape feedback/tape saturation on system 1, 2 and 3 The teac 8 track is not doing anything here.. except being a rather expensive table for two other recorders, btw. the video in the second part doesn't really match the music, the camera fell so I couldn't use the original.. I wasn't doing all that much except for letting the long tape delay saturate on itself for a very very long time...
A new year, a new round in space. Have fun everyone and take care! My music: hainbach.bandcamp.com
The TAPE LOOP DRONECHESTRA is an experiment in live multi layered tape looping. Two auxiliary walkmans with separate tape loop parts are being played and fed into the 4 track through the left and right inputs. Their volume is being controlled by their corresponding slider. The 4 track itself is also playing a tape loop and has parts recorded on to each of its 4 tracks. Those individual loops are being played by their corresponding track knob. Everything is then processed through delay and reverb from the Zoom MS-50G and run straight into garageband.

Here is a short concept video for a sound art/gallery installation that I would like to eventually make and install someday. My hope is to produce this on a much larger scale and include multiple, long form tape loops running simultaneously in one confined space.

circuit bent 3-mic 2-line karaoke mixer with built in BBDelay. video made to show the owner, who was abroad, that it was finished.. random fooling around, basically. not to be confused with a proper demo. i've heard it in action with some analog synths and the thing sure Rrrrrippss... fat analog chewiness. i'm pretty happy with the touch points - seeing how their effect comes pretty close to manipulating the tape on a tape delay. well, sort of. ish.

Tape loop, keeps on turning round, forever,
Patience, love is coming 'round for your pleasure,
Wait now, no use trying to push, there's no need,
People, go against the grain, with their greed.
I've been here before, it ain't gonna work no more,
I've been here before, it ain't gonna work no more.
Focus, your mind will be strong, no distractions,
Soak up wisdom all year long, and then take action.
I've been here before, it ain't gonna work no more,
I've been here before, it ain't gonna work no more.
I've been here before, it ain't gonna work no more,
I've been here before, it ain't gonna work no more.
I've been here before, it ain't gonna work no more,
