I made a Frippertronics tape delay, but instead of using reel to reels, I utilized a long tape loop and a few broken walkmans to get a super lo-fi version. In the tape delay, the bottom walkman is recording a signal from the Korg Volca Keys and is being played back in the top walkman about 4 seconds later. The Volca Keys is also being split, with the other signal going directly into the mixer. The delay tape signal and auxiliary walkman are also being fed into the mixer, which is all then routed through the Realistic reverb unit.

Often times simplicity reflects the most genius. I think that applies here. Totally awesome.
I'm an insomniac. well guess what, your live sessions help me to calm down and find my dreams. thanx a lot. great work also
tape loop lullabies
Wow that is an incredible eerie sound. Love the idea of using a broken one... Adds that unpredictable aliveness to the sound.
I've made some loops before and it is quite difficult but that is beautiful.
they are super tricky and take lots of patience for sure!
Fantastic all the way through! I especially appreciate how you have a room mic on. It adds to the sounds and music.
yeah you can hear my cold! haha glad you enjoyed it

You just made me buy that 4 way mixer in the top right for $25, thanks XD But seriously, I was looking for one, And this piece is very inspiring and moving and showcased it wonderfully. I am excited for it! Going to check out more of your stuff, thank you, Amulets :)
you're welcome!
That delay is really awesome as is everything else. Lovely composition
This is incredible. I'm now leaving my house and heading to the thrift shop for walkmans right now.
fascination and hyptotism.I do not understand what captivates me in your music.I think a kind of hypnotic repetition that captures the senses, and that blurs the mind.
There is something of boredom and fetichism. A kind of second state. Bravo. A sort of expectation that something appears captures attention.
A kind of childhood game and a big void.
Such a creative, genius use of old and new tech. I love it!
Beautiful! Beautiful!
So rad. Love the dual tape feed loop.
Not your most peaceful piece, but the most beautiful wow & flutter ever! Definitely sounds like distress!
yeah this one is all about texture, less pretty for sure!
AMULETS distress conveys its share of beauty
I keep coming back to these videos. Brilliant!
Awesome! Not a chip in it beyond the circuit boards! Wonderful and highly highly creative!
That's so beautiful !
A lot of mood in that piece. Great stuff!
The music of Amulets always remind me of orchestra recordings. Big lush sound and somebody always crouch.
A breath of fresh air!!!
Oh, love this! What a splendid idea and doesn't sound half as bad either! :)
This is beautiful . Inspiring audio and visually too
Brilliant. You’re a genius, my dude.
FRIPPERTRONICS is on my want list.. great production as always!
thats basically what he did with the delay right?
Loving this
Woah, that's pretty awesome.
Wow the Realistic Reverb! That was the first effect I owned back in the early/mid 80's and had a matching Tandy mixer, until I upgraded to the Korg KMX8, which I mention cos I've seen both in one music vid binge. Hadn't thought about either for 20 or so years. Love this - recently got a recording walkman from ebay to do speed control stuff but might try a delay. Thanks
I bloody love it ... Very inspiring
I’m always amazed by your stuff. Great!
thanks so much!
inspiring video and delightful sound!
This really reminds me of the Oxenfree OST. I think I'm gonna re-play that game again now
Fantastic stuff. well done
넌 천재야
One more time so beautful sounds!
Rocking the Realistic reverb! Yours is far superior to set ups I tried to do with cassette tape to tape. I used to do mine with old "boom box" dubbing decks.
I tried doing that but failed. Did you have any success?!
This is beautiful
beautiful!
You’re a mad scientist!
You are brilliant !
and you are too kind
It's great! Wow!
totally lovely
And this is the exact moment that my body begins to float in space while smoking a cigarrette,how can such noises create such a peaceful atmosphere?
It's angelic sounds.
you are the duckin WIZARD!
So inspiring. I still have my Tandy reverb. It’s an amazing bit of kit. Even though I am mostly IOS these days I use the RatshackReverb3 AUv3 plugin on most things I do
really beautiful textures congrats !
thanks!
Wow. Just... wow.
Mad! (Intended as a compliment).
love it!!
I love the x on the don’t touch dials
Awesome!
Lol. Man, I just get this image of you sitting at your desk, sipping coffee & tapping a pencil to your forehead going, "I AM the junkbin Frankenstein". It was stuff like this that inspired me to re-evaluate my analog stuff and conclude that there are better ways of doing things that don't compromise your creativity. Nice job!
.
By-the-by: had that Radio Shack mixer back in '87 (was it?). God, I hated that thing - everything I sent through it had that extra pinch of what sounded like a junebug buzzing around my head. Try that pumped through a Fostex X-15 with permanent Dolby B that can't be turned off and, well... Yeah, Fart Swells...
Komplett geil ❤
Very nice
I will def be hitting u up. This is great!
I hardly understand what you're doing, but I like
I like it!
so crazy..so good :P
This is my excuse for not binning all those broken stereos.
this is why I'm a hoarder
AMULETS "Honestly, darling, it's not junk, it's resources."
@@c0ns1d1ne Hahahaha, now if only my chick could understand that!!!
Superb.
Genius!
...that FrankenTape especially! :]
#FrankenTape!
Click that #ashtag... & you get al franken being a perv :P
Way cool!
thanks!
Absolutely stunning. Great job steering the ship of sound. That Realistic reverb looks like the kind of unassuming artifact just waiting to be unearthed at a thrift store.
They're actually quite popular, now that I know them I see them regularly in music setups. I think they're actually Bucket Brigade Delays btw, so you can always get a Behringer pedal if you want that lo-fi BBD goodness on the cheap. Behringer now owns the patents iirc.
Haha wow.. this is the first time I've seen someone other than me with one of those Realistic eqs :D
Now I see thats a reverb, which I now want too
melting dream candy
Great frippertronic build! Did you stumble upon my microcassette dictaphone version? Keep it up dude!
Man dials in ETs lost diary.
I love you!
aww love you too
wizard!
Genious
this is amazing. can you explain the flow of the tapes? how you got an frippertronic loop between the two cassettes?
Wow
Love it. Did you have any problems with speed differences between the two Walkmans that share the big loop? Did you have to do anything special regarding this?
Splendid as always Amulets. Think it's important to use two identical machines for this? Thanks!
thank you! and no i don't it's necessary to have two identical ones, I just happened to find two of the same.
yo Amulets, have you released a download of this somewhere? sounds great man!
Have you come across tape deck that push enough power to effect pedals- like flat tape recorders.. is there a way to fix
Hi Hi,
super cool!
Which walkmans did you use?
greetz
R
Frankenstein TAPE!!!
You ever thought of doing an audio art installation? I would love to hear this in a big open space like the white cube Bermondsey London
I have and did haha - ruclips.net/video/hJpyuzH0798/видео.html
Does anyone know how to record a Volca Keys straight to cassette/Walkman? Which cables and input/output is it plugged to? Thanks 🙏🏼
Hi Amulets! I am now thinking on trying to do something similar to that Walkman Tape Delay cause this is just so beautiful and inspiring! Any recommendation on something to look for specifically when getting a walkman for this?
just get something cheap you dont mind breaking, if you can get two identical models that's even better. but for testing and experimenting i just recommend not spending too much money
AMULETS will do, thank you! 🙏🏼
Is the erase head taped off on the bottom walkman?
have you had to modified the walkman to get the output of the recorded tape in real time? (if that make any sense)
Simon R. Tremblay I’m curious of the same thing.. more than likely not as some walkmens have an input for recording
I had to modify the walkmans to have inputs, which basically meant taking the mic input they already had and wiring that to a 3.5mm plug. the one tape player also has a speed/pitch knob adjustment that I added.
So they both don't need to run at the same speed for this to work, right?
sorry to ask you : what is this small mixer ? seems cool...
is there someone selling those modified tape recorders? Would be nice to get some tips
I need a walkman like yours! You must have many of them , do you sell any?
What is the length of the tape in this loop?
I had that exact same "Radio Shack realistic delay unit". I would very much like to try to find it again. Do you know the actual name or serial number of it?
Might I ask how you came upon those tape delays?
Did you perhaps build them?
yeah, I made it
@@amuletsmusic That is a whole lot of yes you have there.
I definitely would love to build some thing such as what you have there similar.
I've made the tape loop + cut out the holes on the cases. My question is what brand of decks you're using. I ask because I have one deck with only a play head and one deck with a record/play combo but only records over built in microphone. Are your decks able to record via Line IN or are you leveraging the built in microphone?
Where do you buy your tapes?
where did you get the walkmans?
goodwill and other thrift stores
What is your longer video? (sometimes I just listen your video to evade , i love the "music" you make)
no need for the "quotes"
I guess this is were Lorn comes to get his influences...
i still have some cassettes and junky tape player
Whats your set up
setup and routing in the description
oh my fuck, that is so cool!
lets do some work together man!
There is a free VST pluging, Ellotronics XL VST, that will emulate the same thing with a whole lot less destruction of cassette players.
Shit
Very nice
