about

Tape Loops of Varied Length Vol.03 is more than an album; it’s a learning process. Between the previous record and this one, 135 days have passed, and a lot of musical sketches were done. A few have survived to be presented to the world; some will never be heard again.

For this album, I decided to try to make music by using some new tools differently. I got my hands on a Yamaha Mt8x half a year ago, and it took me a while to find a way to use it to make music with my tape loops. This album consists of some of the tracks that I made during the time I explored it.

Between this and my previous albums, the main change is how the musical process became more structured and better defined. I even improvised on some different ways of writing and detailing the songs here. This is why they exist as cassette tapes. Each one of them is a different song, and this is how they were recorded. From short tape loops to long repetitions of it, one channel after the other.

I still believe that the only way you can master a technique, it’s by doing it over and over again. For this to work, I decided to release an album every 135 days. Having a public deadline like this makes it hard for me to ignore my goals, and I can continue producing music consistently.

Something new will come in 135 days.

Thank you. Without you, this wouldn’t exist.

about

muqdisho Berlin, Germany

MUQDISHO is harsh. But it is without aggression. It is bleak, but it is without fear. With it, Tofani yields the desire for relatability in favor of a faithful portrait of what it feels like to allow oneself to just free-fall into existence.

In somewhat direct & press-oriented words, MUQDISHO is the bleak, noisy, ambient head of a sound spear solely wielded by Felipe Tofani.
