This is the official recording and live setup of Austin based experimental musician Amulets. This rig (lovingly called the Suitcase of Drone) is compromised of numerous effects pedals and two 4-track tape recorders playing back handmade tape loops of varying length. We previously featured a version of the Suitcase of Drone back when we published our Analog Tape Issue in May.
The 4-track on the left is mainly samples and keyboard drones/chords, while the 4-track recorder on the right is for additional textures and melodies (field recordings, noise, and guitar/keyboard parts). The 4-track recorder on the left also acts as the main mixer for the whole setup. Enjoy the video for more!
