Safe Geometry was recorded live using a make-shift tape delay made from 2 reel-to-reel recorders, a Novation Ultranova synthesiser and Ableton live. The recording was videoed and can be watched with the link above. No editing was carried out after recording.

Tape spools from left reel of the first recorder, it passes through the record heads of the first recorder where the input signal is recorded, the tape then passes into second recorder where the recorded signal is then played back and the audio is captured from the speaker using an SM57. The distance between the first and second recorder creates a 4 second delay. Manipulating the speeds of the recording/playback by slowing down/speeding up the reels with my hands to create warping / pitch modulated delays.

The recorders used are a Fergusson 3238 and a Grundig TK120. Both recorders date from around 1967 and are based around tube / valve electronics.
