keep the voices going for an infinite time by using tape loops. Stewart created 12 ft long loops by feeding them at one end through the tape heads of the stereo recorder, and at the other end through a capstan roller fixed to the top of a microphone stand.\n\nStewart played each loop through a separate channel of the mixing desk, turning the desk into a musical instrument. He also put gaffer tape across the bottom the channels, making it impossible to completely fade them down, creating constant background vocals.\n\nOnly a few instruments were used: a Fender Rhodes electric piano played by Stewart, a Gibson 335 electric guitar by Gouldman, and a bass drum sound played by Godley on a Moog synthesizer.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3633358, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3633358/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-03-25T03:44:32-07:00", "show": 66273, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/66273/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://dn710201.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-aac1a043-cbdb-4c06-ab31-8531c17a7a5c/mbid-aac1a043-cbdb-4c06-ab31-8531c17a7a5c-27819684018_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://dn710201.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-aac1a043-cbdb-4c06-ab31-8531c17a7a5c/mbid-aac1a043-cbdb-4c06-ab31-8531c17a7a5c-27819684018_thumb250.jpg", "song": "The Last Prom on Earth", "track_id": "badd56b1-edb0-4042-a558-e46319f3dff6", "recording_id": "76c6932d-c5cc-40fe-ae20-7784698075ff", "artist": "Gayngs", "artist_ids": [ "89249c68-3329-4720-a5e7-837200cfe8d1" ], "album": "Relayted", "release_id": "7334ca31-daf0-4f6f-b2f9-04012bb1a49a", "release_group_id": "f171e1ed-fbf5-4ddc-b493-8e3b2ec29bde", "labels": [ "Jagjaguwar" ], "label_ids": [ "42e06800-76f8-4a5b-a9b6-0983a5d72f17" ], "release_date": "2010-01-01", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Gayngs is a Midwest indie band with a 1980s soft rock-inspired sound.
