Savvas Metaxas - Magnetic Loops IV (2025)

LINE_167

Greek composer Savvas Metaxas returns to LINE with a fourth installment of the Magnetic Loops series.


Three new long form compositions based on the magnetic tape and the revox A77, this time with the electric guitar as the main sound source as well as Turkish bağlama / saz that was purchased on a recent trip to Istanbul.

The tracks were recorded in a new house and a new home studio in a new big city, both known and unknown, during a period of great change on many levels.

The goal of these recordings was to mitigate the sense of change and the unknown that I was facing. It seems that the return to tape loops and this repetition of simple music themes for a long period of time, through the connotation of heavily used tape, created a sense of security that at that moment was necessary for me.

My hope is that this music might have a similar effect for someone who needs something stable at the moment while living in the most uncertain times with a not so promising future looming.
