about

This session utilizes the "Manual Loops" section in my book, Of Technique: Chance Procedures on Turntable and is performed on 2 turntables: 1 turntable has the 1 RAKE Double Needle (OG) and 1 turntable has the Ortofon DJ Stylus. While at EMPAC I had a 4.1 multi-channel speaker configuration that I was managing along with getting reintroduced to my turntables and the RAKE Double Needle (the only one in the world) that places 2 needles on 1 head allowing 1/2" spacing between them. Each needle reads a different part of the record at the same time and each needle can be split mono so the audience can either hear one needle or both at the same time. This session reintroduced these loops and with time the composition of these loops will be more organized and controlled.
