D+VE is a new project where I’ll be experimenting with making music using cassette loops. Using old retro cassette decks to record short loops of music or sound, then manipulating these into pieces, tracks, miniatures or sound-experiments.
D+VE is the affectionate nickname given to me by my friends and family so it made the perfect moniker for this new project. And the + well that’s just to avoid any beef with the rapper Dave. I don’t want to have to produce a tape-looped diss track!
+ From The Water Came Life
This is the first release from D+VE and will be out on 28th February. The track features two melodicas which I recorded to two different tape loops. I then played them back at various speeds and warped/manipulated them into this track. Presave or listen HERE
