The sound of tape

Wave Alchemy have captured the unique warmth and depth of analog tape using a range of classic tape recorders. Multi-track drums were recorded on Studer tape machines for their rich, warm fidelity, Ampex ATR-102s for their crisp high-end clarity, 1980s Tascam 4-tracks for their distinctive character, and even handheld dictaphones for their lofi, intimate charm.

Each piece of gear adds its own sonic signature, ensuring that every sample in Drift embodies the true, nostalgic essence of tape-recorded sound.

Cut to 12″ Vinyl

Wave Alchemy cut over 1,000 samples directly to 12″ vinyl using a Neumann VMS-70 cutting lathe, capturing the distinctive quality and texture that only vinyl can offer.

This process imparts an unmistakable character to each sound, enhancing the vintage tone with the classic crackle and depth that are hallmarks of pre-digital recordings.
