From a little 4” reel of tape, this is the first attempt I made at using a Time Lag Accumulator set-up, where the tape is strung between two machines (in this case a Tandberg 3341X and a cheap Sears portable), with the initial sound recorded on the first (left) deck then played back when it passes the heads of the second (right), with the sound returned to the input of the first. This creates an electronic loop allowing the initial sound to repeat until subsumed by noise or newer input. This only seems to be the case on the right channel however; the left may be an earlier recording of just guitar without effects - I really don’t remember after 41 years!

Thanks, Bill. I obviously thought enough of it at the time to be a keeper, and have probably listened to it a few times since, but found even more to appreciate this time around. A week later, I recorded this with the same set-up: https://jamesbailey1.bandcamp.com/track/seeking-a-suitable-donor
