My very first splice job I did on a song was with Kraftwerk's Tour De France.

My friend and I wanted to extend the song so we could dance to it. So using a stereo system that had a cassette deck that could record from the turntable, I would cue the cassette to record, pause, then release the turntable, unpause the cassette, record the bit in the song we wanted to extend, and wash-rinse-repeat until we had the length we wanted.

This of course led to me down a long path of making beats, mixing tracks, and general electro-acoustic music shenanigans :)

Rest in peace Florian.
