- This a Mini-Doc I made for a coursework module at my uni. In it, I discuss prominent figures of tape looping and their work, and I have a go at recreating some of their techniques! I hope you find something that interests or inspires you.

Big thanks to CZcamsrs such as Hainbach and AMULETS who have great videos on tape looping!
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you for watching!
This is an incredibly well made mini-documentary. I hope this vid gets picked up by the algorithm and you get some much deserved eyeballs on your channel.
Very kind words. Thank you so much!
One of my facourite videos, if it comes to music and its history. You really should make more videos, man.
Great documentary. Really inspiring. Excellent analysis of this genre.
Nicely done. You managed to cover a lot of ground in just 15 minutes, but the presentation never felt rushed.
Wow nice one, guy
22 subscribers?! You sir are destined for greatness! Thank you for making this as it couldn't have at a better time, thanks to the algorithm. I just started to go down the rabbit hole with tape loops and wanting to know more about the history so this was a God send. Subscribed!

Fantastic video! I’ve been getting interested in tape music and field recordings for a while, and this helps a lot with the history of the genre
Thank you so much!

Really well put together mini documentary and great narration. Thank you for sharing this!😊
Thank you so much - I appreciate it!
Really enjoyed this. Nice one!
muy buen video! muchas gracias
Really interesting. I am inspired to have a go at this now as I have a couple of old tape decks and loads of tapes.
That's really great to hear! You can create a lot of interesting and unique textures with little to no music theory knowledge.
Any questions, just leave a comment!
@@dai1527 Thanks. I actually have a pair of Revox a77s and some reels, just not enough hours in the day. A couple of desktop machines for compact cassette and a reverb pedal might be fun. I use a Zoom ms-70cdr.
This is my kinda loop!
Brilliant! Many thanks for producing this fascinating and inspirational video.
Really enjoyed this. Have been experimenting with cassettes a lot recently, but want to experiment even further and try different techniques. Really dumb question though, does taking the lid off walkmen work with any walkmen or just some of them? I don't think I can do it with the ones I have since they have a lot of switches and buttons of the door (putch control/half speed switches), so I think I would need to get a different kind
Glad you enjoyed! All the players I had were cheaper models so only had radio controls at most on the front and maybe a speaker. However, if you're careful with removing it, you can keep the wiring intact and still make use of the functions on the front. Could always just use those Walkmans for smaller loops contained in the cassette if you're worried about damaging the player.
One of my favorite tape manipulations was Steve Reich's "Come out to show them!" czcams.com/video/g0WVh1D0N50/video.html
