i accidently put the tape spool back on backwards, and this played back slightly slower and backwards, (i dont even know if this is the same performance as i did it 3 times and chose the best, this could be one of the other ones), i thought the chord changes still worked! so recorded it and made it the last song on the EP. you can download all the tracks either on patr on or bandcamp links decription.
Sam, you are such a marvellous creator of music 😊 If you have the chance, could you better explain what role the tape deck is playing 😉in this album? It isn't for the final mix, is it? How many tracks are on the tape? Four? Stereo? Mono?
J.S.Bach was a master of this. Many of his works involve mixtures of reversed, inverted and reversed inverted versions of the original section, then even more by mixing this up between left and right hand or instrument parts. Check out the Goldberg Variations and Art of the Fugue. (I don't think he ever committed any of it to tape though :¬)
I have a Teac A 3440 that looks a lot like that. Dang tape is expensive now. I keep it mostly because I have some songs on it I never want to lose. I have one unopened box of tape that I am saving for that special project I haven't done yet. This is really cool sounding !
Plus, you were 3 minutes younger at the end. :). A trick I've used is to take a window of a few seconds and play something but ignore everything outside this window. You are hearing out of context and it takes on a different perspective.
This is track we listened when we just finished "mid" school. (this was considered to hi of a quality of music and the genre fell out of flavor in the NL, rather than a Roland Juno 106 or tb303 but that was done over and over). Profound - 4 o'clock ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2GwVLLiN8Vw.htmlsi=CJW2kbjXfzqCKm8A They used some vocal part of a 70 or 80ties vinyl and it's really cool done.
I think this is called retrograde in music theory. You can also invert it. So retrograde inversion is backwards and upside down. Used by composers in twelve tone technique.
Play them back to back and you'll have a musical palindrome. Then play them simultaneously and you'll have another musical palindrome, but it might sound awful.
This is correct. If it doesn't have singing, it's not a song. That's a fact. It's a piece, or a "track", or specifically a sinfonia etc etc. So many other, accurate, terms for it. But a song it ain't.
