English Bore /// Live (Tape Loop Set) 14.01.2012

For some recent live concerts, i decided to part with my trusty laptop and do something more adventurous and improvised.

Instead, i sourced 4 tape walkmans and circuit bent them, to include tape speed controls and a power cut switches. Next i bought 8 Sony Continuous 1 minute Loop cassettes and recorded various loops to them.

On the night of the live shows, the walkmans were connected to a portable mixing desk, along with a Mini Kaoss Pad for effects, and an improvised 30+ minute set was created alongside a projected DVD of visuals created for the performance. In addition to the loop cassettes, a handful of random charity shop tapes were also used.
