Craig Tattersall is a multi-talented brilliant artist, member of Remote Viewer, The Boats and several other projects. The man behind the much loved bespoke imprint Cotton Goods, Other Ideas and the Moteer/Mobeer labels. He makes beautifully modest and understated music, highly recommended to fans of life's subtler joys.

"A lot of times it’s not only the sound itself but also the way it has deteriorated. I just love the crackle of vinyl, the saturated distortion of analogue tape, the hiss of wax-cylinders, the aging process of the artifact itself is equally important as the sounds themselves. They add a second layer of emotionality to the sounds. The medium is part of the instrument". (Craig Tattersall)

Man with a tape recorder. Music by Craig Tattersall

DON'T ask about the cover image or the title of this song.

It's been a while since I could just sit down and mess around with some noise and a tape loop. I'm using the down time during the winter storm we're currently experiencing to really make some anarchy.
Running Steinbergs Nanolog on the iPad for this one, but there's some leftover crack from Chordion that was left on the tape before I started. Sound on sound on sound on sound.

I said, DON'T ask about the cover image or the title of this piece.

The Tape Loop Orchestra - Fragment 2 (The Killer in the Rain)

Some more glitchy tape loop goodness for everyone. Blame it on the writer's block; was trying to come up some ideas for a new song and just started futzing around with the 4-track, instead.

Instruments abused:
Yamaha PSS-130 -- both providing the voice for each track on the tape and being played live for a "fifth" track.
Tascam 4-track cassette with a looped tape. I used a new tape, but really roughed it up before putting it back in the cassette, resulting in all kinds of audible wrinkles and scratches. Whee!
Also, in order to get a gapless loop, you have to disable the eraser head. This actually has two effects:
First, obviously, the eraser head isn't clearing the sound before it hits the recorder/playback head. If it were, there would be a large gap in about 1-inch of tape, no matter where you hit "stop." You can only get around this by disabling the head in some way. I put a piece of plastic across it, since I don't want to risk ruining it forever.
Second, since nothing is being cleared, you end up with layer after layer of sound upon sound until it all fades into tape hiss and noise. Hence, if you listen closely, you can hear all the previous attempts playing behind the "final takes."

Timicin is named after a Star Trek: TNG character played by David Ogden Stiers. Timicin is a scientist trying to save his world's dying sun, yet he is forced to stop because he has reached the end of his "useful" life. When Kaelons turn 60 years old, they must ritualistically suicide in order to make room for future generations. He's faced with the choice of continuing his work and being shunned by his people, or undergoing the ritual and risk losing all progress on the project.
In this track, I tried to tribute the memory of his character by playing a downward scale that progressively devolves into noise, signifying the loss of life and progress before a new voice takes over and continues the melody. Or something like that. (Hey, I don't want to appear TOO pretentious!)
