- ChancyChance 4y agoOh, right, I had remembered it backwards, and I didn't realize Eno got it from Riley and Oliveros! I guess my chain of provenance is missing a few. Of course, in the hands of any creative musician, I think it would only take a week or so before they thought about making a tape loop on a reel-to-reel recorder. https://happymag.tv/frippertronics/ https://happymag.tv/frippertronics/: "In September of 1972, the pair met in Eno’s London home studio, where he had set up a tape system developed by avant-garde composers Terry Riley and Pauline Oliveros."

- atchoo 4y agoI dislike the linearity of your lineage. Misses out the kind of obvious ones like e.g. The Beatles looping tapes and building on Musique Concrète. > Of course, in the hands of any creative musician, I think it would only take a week Pretty much! Musique Concrète basically starts with the invention of magnetic tape. Electronic music itself basically starts with the vacuum tube. Humans just really like making new sounds and music. If we invent any new tech that makes an odd noise, there will be a bunch of stoned grad students jamming with it later that day.
- ChancyChance 4y agoYeah my lineage was sort of a quickie to make a rough point, not be a well researched history. Not sure why your text is gray, though!
