Step forward visionary figures such as \u003cstrong\u003ePIERRE SCHAEFFER\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eDELIA DERBYSHIRE\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSTEVE REICH\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose work with strips of tape – cutting, splicing, stretching, manipulating, duplicating, looping – spawned a totally new form of music. And alongside our in-depth history, we've selected 20 classic releases and 30 of today's sharpest loopers for your delectation and delight. \u003cstrong\u003eWILLIAM BASINSKI\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eOPEN REEL ENSEMBLE\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eRACHAEL FINNEY\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eCATE BROOKS \u003c\/strong\u003eand \u003cstrong\u003eHOWLROUND\u003c\/strong\u003e are among those on the loopy list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eKeep turning the pages for interviews with plenty of other forward-thinking artists, including bass kingpin \u003cstrong\u003eJAH WOBBLE\u003c\/strong\u003e and experimental guitarist \u003cstrong\u003eMICHAEL BROOK\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose credits take in Brian Eno, Robert Fripp and David Sylvian.

Issued in a gatefold sleeve, \u003cstrong\u003e'TAPE PIECES'\u003c\/strong\u003e is an exclusive \u003cstrong\u003eSTEVE REICH\u003c\/strong\u003e CD featuring two groundbreaking early loop tracks by the acclaimed American composer. With a total running time of around 30 minutes, 'Come Out' and 'It's Gonna Rain' both date from the mid-1960s and are built from two short voice recordings, one of a man beaten by police officers and the other of a street preacher. For each piece, two identical loops were played together, seemingly in perfect synchronisation, but a tiny difference in the speed of the tapes mean they slowly slip out of alignment. The melodic and rhythmic patterns that emerge as the loops drift further apart are extraordinary. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\"You are not an inactive listener,\" said Brian Eno about 'It's Gonna Rain' in an interview with The Times last year. \"All of Reich's work, I think, depends on making your brain perform and watch itself performing in a certain way. I suddenly realised, 'The composer isn’t just Steve Reich, it's Reich and my brain making this composition what it is'.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eAs with all our releases, this CD is only available to readers of Electronic Sound, so order your copy right away. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electronic Sound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58450112414028,"sku":null,"price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/3055\/0604\/files\/Electronic_Sound_Issue_140_Tape_Loops_CD_Bundle.webp?v=1787053849","url":"https:\/\/www.schneiderskeller.co.uk\/products\/electronic-sound-magazine-vinyl-bundle","provider":"SchneidersKeller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
