Zebra Mann
Battle Survivor 06:06/128k
A song created for the people I know who have battled cancer, who are battling cancer, and refuse to give up or let the 'monster' win. Keep fighting the good fight, for so much depends on you. Credits: several loops from Blind Mime's Project-48, one loop from my bass guitar dabblings. . Genre: Experimental. Created: 08 Dec 2013 12:09 PM. Plays: 4

Zebra Mann
Overdrawn at the Memory Bank 08:33/128k
One of my previous mixes with the vocals by JSG removed, and then altered even more, combined with one of my favorite Blind Mime loops (and that is a long list), and some crazy loops from my private found sound collection. I chose the title for its play on words, but it has nothing to do with the 1985 movie of the same name. Credits: one Blind Mime loop, a previous mix of my own with the vocals removed and some found sounds from my private collection . Genre: Abstract Ambient. Created: 07 Dec 2013 10:00 PM. Plays: 4

Ghosts of Decaying Swamp 07:59/128k
Decaying Machine asked for a collaboration using some of his works, and I obliged. Hopefully this spooky bit of sound will meet with his expectations, because I had a lot of fun putting it together. Credits: several loops by Decaying Machine, a vocal track from Buzzsaw & The Shavings, and some loops from my found sound folder. Genre: Abstract Ambient. Created: 30 Nov 2013 08:48 PM. Plays: 12

The Traveler & the Station Master 08:27/128k
A once-in-a-lifetime meeting, on a desolated platform late at night, and only the listener knows where the geographical location might be. This is one to let your imagination come out and play. Enjoy. Best listened to with your eyes closed. Credits: one loop by Blind Mime, one loop of a friend doodling on bass guitar, several bits of sound from my loop folder, including found sounds. .

Therefore I Leave Them Rotting In The Sun 06:05/192k
It has a keyboard piece I spontaneously crafted, weird duck noises, modulated guitar piece, beats and bass sculpted in LMMS, all spun around Jeremy Gluck's vocal parts for Project-50. This is sewn together in Audacity within Puppy Linux Studio Version 4. Credits: Project-50, Michael A Cosma, Jeremy Gluck, Dave Fuglewicz, Grunt. Genre: A Fine How Do U Do.

Recorded the vintage k sunburst bass, and then 2 guitar trax. Downloaded tg loops built a structure using blind mime and hannah, then used SoLaRiS for the solos. You will be astounded and amazed.

Meteorological Blitzkrieg 07:48/128k
I like thunderstorms, but sometimes the weatherman seems to be a bit of a drama queen and we just don't get the weather we were warned about. This piece reflects that, at least to me. You might hear something different. It is an mandatory ear goggle piece. Credits: Blind Mime's Project-48, portions of my mix It Rained All Night, and various natural recordings, mangled beyond all recognition. Genre: Abstract Ambient. Created: 08 Sep 2013 09:00 AM.

I really like Bryan Baker's piano playing and decided to highlight it from Project-48. I used (and processed) the piano and bass stems, and added some tracks using the Radium VST.

Romantic Love Song for Tyrannosaurus Rex 05:47/128k
Although they died out 65 million years ago, surely the dominant life form on earth back then had music to put them in the mood. If they did, perhaps it sounded something like this. The lyrics are explicit only if you speak dinosaur. Credits: Blind Mime Project-48. Genre: Alien Audio. Created: 20 Aug 2013 11:31 PM. Plays: 66

Sitting Behind The Basket Weavers 05:00/192k
Used Audacity and LMMS , tons of layers, started off with the guitar from Project-49 then I ended up needed certain parts from Project-48 to juice up certain points - once I got behind the basket weavers all points were certainly not real anymore.

Lest you forget me, a modest update is called for. In the near future, mixes originating @ TG and for some years available as Recollage 1 & 2 will be re-released by Myhandthanx, a splendid French netlabel. In addition, there will be an EP on UK netlabel Noise Research - "Noise In The Head" - that includes TG remixes, too. More news on both as and when and why not?

Here's the first installment of a new video show I'm doing for UtahLocal.tv. We'll see how it goes. I'm definitely fumbling with the ropes, but I'm nothing if not curious.
If you'd like to help me kill the cat, I encourage you to post a response video on youtube where you use one of the sounds I talk about in this week's show. The toy xylophone and toy sax and both available as source files in the Free Loop Pack 16 project listed in the left sidebar.
Thanks

I have lost the ability to stream on my linux pc with the new changes to the html5. Due to this development I have created an alternate streaming site of my best Tapegerm material. Please visit this link if you are unable to stream my material and would like to.
Mudball Tapegerm Stream
We've programmed HTML5 Audio into your song pages, so you can access the audio from most devices now. This audio is not currently supported in the system Tapegerm uses to count plays. Let us know if you see any bugginess in the output.
As it is, we will probably eventually move everything toward HTML5 and figure out a different way to track trending songs. We're not concerned much with charts and rankings, obviously, but it's useful to know what is being explored by our strange group of artists at any given time.
Hello Germs! I just uploaded 10 short one-shots to Project-37 Free Loop Pack 16. These are the first loops that I have uploaded to the Tapegerm site in several years. On October 5, 2012 I recorded a 20 minute free form improvisation for four Korg Monotron analog synthesizers - two Monotrons, one Monotron Duo, one Monotron Delay. I then chopped it up into 245 one-shots. I have uploaded these 10 for your mixing and remixing pleasure. If you like these, I can create a separate Tapegerm project and upload all 245 one-shots and the entire 20 minute track for you to use. The 20 minute track is available in WAV file format at my Soundcloud page right now.

We are considering putting together a regular podcast of Tapegerm music and discussion. You can help by sending a link to an mp3 of you talking about making a composition or something about Tapegerm collaboration in general -- or really whatever you might want to spout off about. Send the links to the Contact form at the top of Tapegerm.com.
Please do contribute!
It is now possible to access past projects via the Projects button at the top of the site.
There are some very old calendar events which are currently showing as well. That should be fixed at some point.
For now, old project source files are still accessible. Feel free to continue using them for new compositions. Just be aware that old projects may already be archived as albums on archive.org and elsewhere.
It's been a while since we've had a big Free Loop Pack to play with, so let's put one together and everyone's welcome to join.
We'll put them all together and make the pack live on October 1, so you have until then to create your loops. As many as you want, but let's say 10 loops minimum.
A loop is any kind of audio source. It doesn't have to actually loop or be musical. It can be a spoken phrase, an industrial clang, ambient noise, a strummed guitar, a violin melody, a cat's meow, etc.
Once you have your gaggle of loops, put them somewhere we can access (don't email them) and let us know via the Contact link at the top of this page.
If you have any questions, ask them here -- and happy looping!

Club Mozambique
"I can see the traffic streaming by in the street as I enter the club, where I am greeted by the sounds of an exotic rock band playing on a recessed stage. I am led to a table in a dark corner. In seconds, a young woman sits at my table. A man (the waiter? the owner?) appears and asks for our drink orders. The uninvited guest orders something in a language I don't understand. I order a Coke. The guest, who is now sitting next to me, asks me my name in English. I reply, then sit silent. The drinks arrive. The server asks me for a rather large amount. I say, for a Coke? He indicates the other person, suggesting I should pay for that one also. I hesitate, then give him a paper note large enough to cover both drinks. The music is loud and hypnotic. After a few sips of the Coke, I realize it has been adulterated, probably with Everclear since there is no taste, but I am feeling the effects of alcohol. The woman next to me is asking me if I would like to go upstairs. I don't answer. I get up to leave. Several men who have been loitering in the dark near the kitchen door move toward me. The man who brought me to the table appears and begins telling me I can pay tomorrow. I don't understand. I tell him I need to leave. I force my way through the crowd toward the door, with the owner and the others following me, urging me to stay. I have 20 beautiful girls, he says. You can pay tomorrow. I emerge onto the street and walk back towards my hotel." -- Axel Mundi (on 09/21/13 19:34:51)
