American pianist and composer Phillip Golub (born 1993) continues his acoustic loops project with Loop 7, dramatically expanding the project's scope in terms of harmony, technology and orchestration, while maintaining the emphasis on microscopic variation within tightly controlled repetition begun on his solo debut Filters.

Composed using a twenty-two-note per octave tuning system, the studio recording of Loop 7 employs two microtonally-tuned Yahama Disklavier pianos controlled via keyboard controller. Golub is joined by a small ensemble - consisting of scordatura electric guitar, microtonal vibraphone, and live electronics - to create an absorbing realization of the piece, uncannily situated between chamber performance and imaginary studio creation.
