TAPE FRAGMENTS FROM MARS

Analog Synth Movements Captured Through Tape Feedback Loops Tape Fragments is one of our more experimental, yet super useable, releases to date. It was created by sending analog synth movements through feedback loops using various tape machines, echoes and an API console. The results were then mapped to keyboard instruments and can be played melodically to achieve rich, dreamy, lo-fi tape synth textures and  soundtrack-esc pads, leads, and FX.    What we Sampled This pack is our most meta sampling to date. The story goes: We sampled an Oberheim synth a few years ago, and Nico made a beautiful demo for it using the samples. In fact, I loved it so much that I wanted to experiment further with it - so I ran bits and pieces of the demo out into an Echoplex, and an Otari reel to reel (that spirals into white noise, from the tape hiss), and then sent the returns of those tracks on the API back into the tape machines (via Aux send), creating feedback loops. I then took those feedback loops a
