about

Tape Loops was the result of a few active months of experimentation during the Summer of 2014, using previously owned cassettes that I bought from a thrift store.

This was almost... almost my last album. It was released while I was still in the hospital and they hadn't learned what was killing me yet.

TEXT FROM THE ORIGINAL RELEASE ON LINEAR OBSESSIONAL

Linear Obsessional is proud to present "Tape Loops" - the fruit of several months' labour by the Colorado based composer c.reider. Getting deep into the process and working with thrift-store cassettes he uses a number of radical techniques to create his tape loops, including lengthening the tape, shredding it , making new tapes from tiny fragments and reassembling them.

The resulting piece is a haunting and mesmeric meditation on the texture of sound recorded on magnetic tape and is one or reider's most powerful works to date.

The download comes with a detailed and illustrated 16 page PDF booklet detailing the processes and techniques used to create the work.

The physical edition of 40 consists of a CDR and (for the first 20) a unique cassette tape loop made by c.reider
