On this one-day workshop you’ll explore the art of creating tape loop collages. A creative, hands-on process combining sound, memory, and visual art. Using recycled cassette tapes, you’ll learn how to cut, splice and loop magnetic tape to create your own sonic artwork. You’ll be encouraged to record sounds, voices or ambient textures to develop your own concept, and experiment with collaging the tape itself into tactile visual pieces.

This workshop celebrates the beauty of lo-fi sound and the poetry of reuse; where old media becomes something entirely new. Each participant will take home a unique looping cassette, alongside the skills to keep experimenting. All materials provided (you’re welcome to bring an old tape to collage if you wish).
