Explorations with Tape & Looping with Alliyah Enyo
This hands on workshop with Alliyah Enyo explores her practice and techniques using tape and looping technologies. She will demonstrate a range of ways to play with samples and the voice to create collaged compositions and live performances. There will be a few ways to approach making and playing with sound during the workshop, delivered in a relaxed way so you can play, ask questions and discover new technologies.
Bring a notebook if you want to take notes, we also highly recommend bringing any .mp3 or .wav files on a usb or SD card to potentially process onto tape.

Alliyah Enyo creates vocal-led experimental compositions, most often performed in site specific spaces which allow her to harness and respond to natural echoic phenomena. Their style drifts seamlessly between choral, ambient, medieval, folk, leftfield r&b and neo-classical music. Inspired by electronic music pioneers, Alliyah harnesses historical analogue processes, taking a particular fascination in creating tape loops through the use of reel-to-reel machines. Her experimental, self taught approach to sound is often complimented by collaborations with classically trained musicians which take the form of interdisciplinary performances for festivals across the UK and Europe. Sites include; Norberg Festival, Mimerlaven Tower; Edinburgh Sculpture Workshops Beacon Tower; Hybrid Festival, Groningen Cathedral; Mortuary Chapel Arbroath; Dilston Gallery London, Concrete Church; Fiber Festival, Royal Concerthall Amsterdam. Alliyah’s work is predominantly created for Glasgow based label Somewhere Press her discography includes ‘Echo’s Disintegration’ 2022 and ‘Selkie Reflections’ 2024, which featured reworks by Florian T M Zeisig. She is currently working on her third solo album with the label titled, ‘When All is Dust’ which will be released 2027. Image credit: Lizzie Urquhart
