Destruction Loops - Supermoon

By Bleeoop on April 12, 2020 6:42 pm


I'm having a lot of fun letting small loops go and listening to the ways the sound degrades over time. Somewhere along the journey there's the perfect spot of mushed up but still recognizable, but it's incredibly hard to pinpoint the right moment while you're listening to it, an exercise in concentration.

Once again The full destruction loop is too long for the weeklybeats limit, if you're really interested in listening to the noise you can check out this visualizer for the track below

Loving these destruction loops!

This is brilliant and wonderful calming.
similar sounds in a track I did with pedals a few weeks ago.

thanks! and thanks for linking me that track, really in awe of the pedal mastery!

I've been listening to your destruction loops as some kind of meditative background this week.

Any tips on how to get the sound to degrade and evolve in such way? It sounds very intriguing...

This is perfect for a "siesta", man smile


Quite relaxing.

Ethereal and mesmerizing! I need to learn about this.  Just looking up destruction loops.  Does sound beautiful and sad at the same time.

Wow, this is fantastic, not sure I fully understand the process of creating this (using Paul stretch?), but regardless a real pleasure to hear, also great visuals on the video.

thanks! I am still trying various techniques to get the right amount of degradation, but it's mainly just filters. It's a compound effect of recording the loop going through the filters again and again and again. Then compression with autogain tries to keep the levels constant and brings up the noise floor. I pitch up the loops before starting and then pitch the recording back down after to make the whole process take less time.

super cool

These are great for mediation indeed.  I found myself just sitting back and zoning out and not caring about all the negativity going on.  I don't quite fully understand the process but def gonna be listening for more ideas.  Did you record this through pedals or are you using a DAW ala Ableton?  Really cool!

I'm not using any pedals and right now after doing a bunch of them I think I could do it all even without the cassette tape and just in Ableton probably. But there's not much to it I just keep re-recording the same loop over and over and over again through very little amount of filters and fx.
