Open Reel Ensemble repurposes vintage reel-to-reel recorders into ‘magnetic folklore’ instruments, producing experimental sounds by bowing, strumming, tapping, spinning, and multi-track layering of tape.

Open Reel Ensemble utilizes JIGAKKYU, a traditional folk instrument, to produce unique sounds through bowing magnetic tape, blending analog synth techniques.
