  • This time we are going to record the same loop on 8 different tapes and then we'll put the tapes through different conditions (burn, freeze, wash etc) to see how it effects the loops sound!
    If you have any ideas for more tape loop experiments leave a comment and we'll maybe do a part 2!
    Big love everyone! thanks for watching as always!
    Etsy links below if you're interested!

    Put a tape in a sealed plastic bag, blow smoke into it, and bury the bag. It was a technique dub producers used often.

    Something that might give results: microwave, satellite dish focus point, local high voltage transformer, power cables, maybe close to a plasma tv or definitely a crt tv. Also I think you shold get a more clear audio sample for better comparison

      Awesome comment! Thanks for the suggestions 👌 yeah I think we are going to sacrifice a better sounding player next time, the one we used was already broken aha

    Would be cool to see a video where you do, alternate weird treatments for printing noise on the tapes that are blank. Obviously, some kind of magnetism is required so repetitious magnetic ideas. For example. Take one of those drinks, stirring motorized sticks, and place a magnet glued to one side of the tip, and turn that little motor on, and put the tape somewhere in close proximity, and let the frequency of that magnet, spinning on the motor impact the tape. This is just something I think might work theoretically and if so, there’s probably a lot more ways to do interesting magnetic influence

    Butter, oil pastel or wax crayon, chalk, honey, oregano, hot sauce, iron filings, spray mount glue, toothpaste, hot chocolate, algae, turmeric,carrot and coriander soup, cinnamon.
    Also pigeon excrement would be interesting as it’s corrosive enough to rot pigeons feet

    I used iso to clean mould off VHS tapes. Good experiment.
    I liked crumple the most. There is a technique for restoring old damaged audio/video tapes. Oven baking at a certain temperature. Obviously not 200c. 😂
    The air fryer temp destroyed the magnetism on the tape. Once you go beyond the threshold for extended period. Magnetism gone.

    that was hilarious guys, had a good laugh when you got the microtape out of the washing machine :D

    You guys are too funny!!! 😄😂🤣 The air fryer was my favourite bit. Maybe some kind of superglue experiment? Or drive a car or a truck over it a few times. Or put it in the sea for a while. Oh, and the tumble dryer… and…

    • @BatteryOperated

      Thanks for the kind words and suggestions! Definitely going to make a part 2 with everyone's ideas! 👌

    Air fryer probably demagnetized the tape cuz heat. I'm more interested in what it would be like if the degraded tapes were as a delay (or w/e) to add a real-time write-read mod, instead of post-recording damage, to see what that is like?

    Bleach. Vinegar. Perforations/holes. Loose items in the case (ball bearings, rice, something that will move with the tape). Nail varnish. No spools. Stretching by hand. Chopping and rearranging. Left in the sun (or more likely the rain in the UK lol). Magnet on random spots. Freeze into an ice cube and melt before playing. Swallow and rinse after it comes out the other end lmfao.

    What a great job on such a wonderful tape loop!
    I love the results you achieved with the Sticky Tape - just wonderful! This alone would be worth a deep dive - destroy several tapes to different degrees with Sticky Tape.
    Again, excellent inspiration - thanks so much for this! :D

  • @the_washington_monument_am9714

    Excellent work lads! I've always wanted to stick a tape in with some pickeled cabbage and let it sorta turn into sauerkraut...

    Make a pickled tape! Buy some pickles, eat them, toss the tape into the jar for a week.

    • @BatteryOperated
      @BatteryOperated  Год назад

      I think the hardest part of that is eating pickles 😩 ahah!
      Definitely going to try pickle one!

    Great stuff as ever. I'll definitely be using the sticky tape and crumpling. Nice idea having the hole in the one you put through the wash. It allows for OG flanging techniques.

    • @BatteryOperated
      @BatteryOperated  Год назад +1

      Yeah crumpling was great 👍 definitely a valid technique!
      We also sell a loop with a hole in the case on our etsy if you're interested 👌 The Wiggler

      @Battery Operated hi, you guys make some great gear, I build my own, hack old stuff. But I only build for myself these days. I'll keep directing folk over to you guys and Metsaan studios.
