A demonstration of VHS generation loss

Video signals decay rapidly when copied repeatedly on domestic VHS video recorders. This video demonstrates the results, showing the degredation of the signal up to 11 generations. William Basinski did this with audio signals in an ambient epic called “The Disintegration Loops“, however; the music in this video is written by me (using similar analogue mag-tape techniques to Basinski). You can download the full music from (DX10 tapeloops)
