How to Make a Tape Loop out of a Cassette #MusicMonday

Here’s a video on turning any cassette into an infinitely looping sound device from AMULETS, an experimental ambient artist from Austin — via CDM

From AMULETS:

A lot of you have asked about how I make my tape loops and how you can make your own, so I decided to make this instructional video for all of you. There are lots of variations on how to make tape loops, but in this video I show you my personal approach and method to the most basic tape loop. Let’s start this new year off right everyone – here’s to to creating more art, building more community, sharing more skills, and spreading more love in 2017! <3

 

From the CDM article:

Tape loops, as associated with the likes of Steve Reich, began mainly on reel-to-reel decks. Using a cassette means some more precise surgery. There’s the cassette housing to contend with, mainly – which means disassembling and then (importantly) re-assembling a delicate plastic case. And the tape itself is smaller, too – 0.15 inches rather than 0.25 inches.
