Make Tape Sounds - Yule Mutate

[TaoTapeTao]

Hi folks, sorry for the kind of cross-post, but my new record "Yule Mutate" is out on bandcamp, spotify and all other streaming services. I'm really vying for exposing this to twoism, because I feel like it really belongs here. That probably sounds presumptious, and maybe it is!

The project is essentially one whole long stream-of-consciousness-thing. It's a tapestry of tunes woven from my dad's cheesy old christmas mixtapes, as well as some absurdly cheasy 70s-80s romance mixes...The tapes were very warped and riddled with noise to begin with, so naturally they were ripe for sourcing. I sampled them on trackers, made tape loops, ran them like hell through effects and resampled them, rinse, repeat, recycle etc.

The end result feels to me like some weird, dream-like hypnagogic beat tape. Also it felt apt to invoke some sort of strange paganism in terms of aesthetic because I was essentially "reversing" & "inverting" these christmas tunes into something slightly unsettling, strange and otherwordly. Hence the "Yule Mutate" title.

I hope people consider this record and give it a listen. I'm more than happy to answer questions about the tunes or sounds if anyone likes!



Thanks for bearing with me,
Love to Twoism,

Thank you so much! Odd Nosdam and Clouddead were a big influence on how I sampled and time stretched drums for the project!
