KAPOTTE MUZIEK - Musik ohne Ende

Format: CD Label & Cat.Number: Tribe Tapes TRIBE 015 Release Year: 2022 Note: a trip back into the early analogue years of noisy tape-experiments, incredible spiraling sounds of tape loops... this ia a re-issue of an old PRION Tapes release from 1988, exploring the possibilities of two reel to reel tape machines combined, "recorded with sound sources mentioned in the titles; metal, feedback, paper and surfaces, and resonances"... the CD has 3 bonus tracks from rare compilations, not on the original cassette Price (incl. 19% VAT): €12.00 More Info Professionally-manufactured CD in full-color, 4-panel digipak. Includes bonus tracks from compilations (Tracks 5 - 7) Originally released 1988 via Prion Tapes Mastered by Nÿland at 4 & Rising Cover by Adrian Gormley "In the 1970s, serious music lovers had a reel-to-reel tape deck. My father certainly loved music and had one to tape classical music off the radio. I recorded my first musical experiments with this machine, fascinated as I was by slowing down the speed so my pieces last longer. Later on, I had some more experience, and my father turned to playing CDs, so the reel-to-reel machine has used a lot less, and I was allowed to drag it upstairs, and I borrowed one from the likewise serious Phillips employee next door. Now having two machines, I was able to create longer loops, which became an overall ingredient in the music of Kapotte Muziek. 'Music Ohne Ende' means 'music without an end', which is what tape-loops are all about, isn't it? The four pieces on this cassette from 1988 are recorded with sound sources mentioned in the titles; metal, feedback, paper and surfaces, and resonances. I remember very little about the recording process, to be honest, but somehow this tape I enjoyed for its instability in sound and the noise of it all. I also used a loop housed in a normal cassette at that time, but those results never captured the same power. For this CD re-issue, there are also three bonus tracks from the same period, using the same tape machines, but more cut-up/collage, cutting tapes and sticking these together in random order."
