i picked up this great tape recorder at goodwill this weekend. it must have been some kind of tape deck for group listening because it has SIX headphone outputs.
this is a little thing i recorded using a technique that was a favorite of mine back in my tape music days (before i ever used a computer for making music). it’s just baritone guitar being plucked, recorded, paused and un-paused repeatedly. it’s a super simple but really cool effect.
matt and i have been utilizing this cassette deck a lot for creating source material for our show in early april. i love the musical texture that tape adds to simple sounds.
