DzigaLoop is a digital tape looper I designed, built, and programmed from scratch a few years ago for a live soundtrack of Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.

Running on a Bela board, it manages sounds in a rhizomatic structure, where meaning emerges from contingent connections between layers. Like Vertov’s montage, the performer works through association and contrast in real time. The tapes can run at variable speeds and directions, with continuous selection, crossfade, and live sampling. Through DzigaLoop, sonic memory is bent and reshaped in the present.
