Recorded some sloppy and rusty bass/guitar riffs to cassette for a change which I hope you’ll enjoy.
Cheers!!

Various dark melancholic ambient pieces I’ve made during my holiday in Curacao using samples of local classical radio stations as a starting point. Hope you’ll like it. Cheers

Thanks for checking it out and commenting! Much appreciated
Instead of using cassette tape loops for drones I had this crazy idea for a while to convert my old OP-1 4 track loops to cassette 4 track loops and perform them with the warmth and organic feel of real tape so after a search I found this beautiful 4-track Yamaha MT4X deck 2nd hand.
After the purchase I immediately started recording some of these ‘ancient OP-1 rephazer sketches/tracks’ to 30 seconds cassette loop tapes with all the tape bumps, wow, flutter, volume gaps and imperfections that these tapes bring… Just as imperfect as life itself…
Initially I was thinking of getting two of these 4 track decks for mixing/transitioning between the loops, but instead I choose to use the micro cassette recorder Casio TP-40 with radio static noise/voice recordings and the Audiothingies Doctor A reverb and 12-bit delay on both auxiliaries of the deck to transition from one cassette loop to the next using the Dr. A delay feedback which I think works great.
Everything is mixed and recorded digitally to USB stick using the Teenage Engineering TX-6.
I hope you’ll enjoy this performance as much as I’ve enjoyed making and performing it.
Also available on Bandcamp for the ones interested:
Thanks for listening!

really beautiful! you’re such an op master! when i hear your op tracks i always wonder how you manage to make them; i can’t seem to accomplish nowhere need the same level of freedom and productivity with my op-1f
fav track: 1. video, track that starts at 11:17 (still haven’t watched the second video completely, just skipped through it here and there)
p.s. which tape mixer/recorder is this?

Really great work - I enjoyed listening to/watching this a lot. Very interested in learning about your workflow a bit more. I find my sketches have nowhere near this level of polish.

Thank you for the kind words! I guess the OP-1 just ticks all the boxes I get inspired by. Not sure what else to tell you, but finding the ‘trance like state focus’ and not getting distracted is the main reason I am able to make this.
It’s the Yamaha MT4X. A wonderful machine
Thank you very much! I always make my music using headphones and did so for a very long time so not sure if that’s the reason, but try to not overdo things like EQ/Compression/Limiting and keep room for the music to ‘breath’

You’ve captured the BoC mood perfectly , I like these tape imperfections especially.
