Take a Random Tapegerm Challenge

Written by

I’ve loaded a bunch of tapegerms (source audio files, loops, etc.) and made them accessible under the Participate menu by selecting Random Tapegerm. You’ll get a random piece of audio to make something out of. Here’s one I did this morning

Oscillator 6

Go ahead and give this one a shot and share your track with GAJOOB. I’ll add it to the page.

Tapegerm was formed in 1999 out of a project on GAJOOB with artists making new music from loops extracted from homemade cassette albums in our archive. The .ORG site, directed by original founder Briyan Frederick Baker, launched in the fall of 2025. It documents and provides new acceess to this activity while encouraging new collaborators to regerminate the continuing evolution with new and vintage sounds and further musical exploration.
