Musicians Play Magnetic Reel Reel-to-Reel Tape That Is Stretched Into a Percussive Triangle

The incredibly talented musicians of Open Reel Ensemble formed a triangle to play magnetic reel-to-reel tape stretched to different lengths with drumsticks. The resulting percussive song was very catchy, as was the joy on the faces of each player.

We tapped magnetic tape directly to make sound and formed the Tape Tap Triangle.
