CASSETTe tapeloop

workshop

Wanna spice up your tracks in a cool and original way?

Then join and learn how to make your own cassette tapeloop.

Discover the warm, warbled sound of cassette.

Embrace imperfection, unpredictability and hiss.

In this workshop (dutch & English spoken):

You will create a cassette tapeloop from scratch. I will provide all the tools you need and guide you through the whole process. Once you've made it work, we’ll be recording sounds to the loop using a four track cassette recorder. You will then mix the four tracks to a minutes long abstract soundscape. We’ll export it as mp3 and/or wav. The cassette is then yours to take home.

The session will contain of 3 participants max. This way I can give personal instructions and it will perfectly fit my cosy studio. :)

No experience required.

Duration of the course: +/- 2,5 hours.

Costs: € 75,-pp.

I will provide coffee, tea and cookies.

Location: Nieuwe Hemweg 8, Amsterdam-West

A bit about me:

I have 25+ years experience in audio production. I run my own studio ‘StudioHaring’ in which I cast, record and mix voice-overs, deliver audio mixes and sounddesign for all sorts of productions. Besides this I work at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. Here I manage the sound studio and guide students with their audio related projects. I am also a musician, band member of ‘I saw Les Monte’, playing and recording guitars, keys, fx, field recordings and….tapeloops.

Hope to see you here!

Peace,

Rick
