Definition
Electronic music created by manipulating magnetic tape recordings, popular from the 1940s-1980s. Techniques included cutting, splicing, speed changes, and playing tape backwards to create new sounds and compositions.
Etymology
Named for the magnetic tape medium that made it possible, emerging after WWII when tape recording technology became accessible to artists. German 'Elektronische Musik' and French 'Musique Concrète' were both forms of tape music with different philosophical approaches.
Kelly Says
Before digital sampling, composers literally cut tape with razor blades and spliced it back together—imagine editing a film frame by frame, but with sound! The Beatles' 'Tomorrow Never Knows' introduced millions to these avant-garde techniques through popular music.
