“Resonant Tapes” is a microlabel for independent electronic music. We are interested in sound collage, field recordings, drone, noise, ambient, and similar kinds of abstract sounds. This is 100% non-commercial DIY project.
For now, we have a virtual presence at resonant-tapes.bandcamp.com and we plan to have small runs of cassette tapes in the future.

IdP – POST
Intricate and dense psychedelic ambient and noise, oozing with cassette tape wobbling and hiss. Part A consists of three sound collages made of field recordings, modular synths, radio broadcasts, contact microphones, and distorted voices. Part B is a remixed version of A, made after randomly cutting it into 144 tape loops.
All sounds recorded and mixed during 2025 in Guanajuato and Jalisco.
