Tape Loop Column

The literal translation of a column is support. But I hope that my column is something more than a support. Let it be a little motivation.

As part of the Bonedo Workshop series, I’m lucky enough to be able to write a multi-part column about tape loops. As in my tape loop video workshop, all relevant tape loop topics are dealt with. From the history of the tape loop to the individual tape machines to the different loop and cutting techniques, everything is included.

Have fun while reading.

Columns:
