I never know how a loop's going to turn out. This one turned out quite dystopian. The loop I made had a nasty click in it and my attempt to correct it through editing sliced out a sliver of the loop, which as luck would have it, created the rhythmic pulse at the beginning and end of the loop; percussion through the introduction of silence.

I made this with: Guitar Gretsch G2210 > TC Electronic Forcefield > >TC Electronic Viscous Vibe > Boss FV30L volume pedal > TC Electronic Brainwaves > Boss DD8 >TC Electronic Hall of Fame 2 > TC Electronic Ditto Looper x4. Edited in Audacity.

loop 1100

Thanks to Léone Doux (https://soundcloud.com/paulette-pinar) for the title. This was the first track I created on the TC Triple Delay. It's a live piece with some short stretches excised to remove string plucks, leaving just the beautiful decaying delays to linger and fade.

Liminal spaces

Constructed from elements of copyright-elapsed Steal Away to Jesus by The Southernaires (1941).
I created this entirely in Audacity using just the repeat, duplicate, copy, paste and reverse functionality.
I reversed the track, using track's opening three-note piano motif to create a metered-structure. From the vocals I created a new melody. To do this, for each note, I spliced a short extract of the reversed recording, made a copy, re-reversed it, then joined the two extracts together. I then arranged these half-backwards-half-forwards notes to create the new melody. 
Despite the fact that there are no discernible words (as the recordings are half-backwards), the beautiful timbre of the voices and the exquisite harmonies shine through, and there is a feeling of verbal communication nonetheless.

Everything will be alright (in the end)

This was all played on guitar - the bell-like notes were a product of the tape delay degradation of the TC Electronic Triple Delay and a lot of patience.

loop 11110

This was made by putting Brian Eno's Bloom (Version 2) through TC Electronic's Hall of Fame 2 and Flashback triple delay.

loop 100000

This started out as an acoustic piece in the vein of Salif Keita. It didn't work out and slowly disintegrated into this.

loop 100001

This track is constructed of various cutting-room-floor offcuts from other tracks that didn't make it.
