Is there a name for a genre of music that is nothing but slowly building loops? Like songs that loop over and over and don't change other than more elements being added on top?

The closest thing is a onkyo song made by no input mix
No input mix, means feeding some equipament that changes a input sound (distortion pedal, delay pedal......), with the result of this equipament itself.

The equipament will change the sound slowly addoing more elements.
But it wont be exactly what you said, just the EXACT previous samples, with more samples added over time. The previous sounds/samples change even if a little

Actually you can use audacity to do some amateur thing like that.
1-get a ultra small sound (less than 0.0001 seconds, yes, thats small) that is not 100% true silence.
2-Put it at audacity
3-Paste this sound at the end of the song.
4-Use some random effect at the entire song
5-Copy the entire song and past at the end of the song.
6-Go to 4 until you have a song huge enought for you and then save it.
At step 5 and 3, you can past the entire song before the song start and not after it if you want.
You can also at step 4 just apply the effect to the pasted sound

Brayden Myers
Soundscapes by Robert Fripp and his earlier work with Frippertronics is kinda like that, he uses pre looped stuff and plays a long delay guitar over it.
Christopher Reed
Tested your idea, pasted the entire song at the end, and each time modified the pasted part.
Effects are selected at random.
Can imagine someone liking this

This is all I could think of. Just someone fucking around with a ratchet that loops and builds.

I sti don't get how he's doing this. He has to have at least two mixers, right?

>I sti don't get how he's doing this. He has to have at least two mixers, right?
the easiest version of this method
1-create a small sound with less than 0.0001 second.
2-Paste ALL the entire sounds at the end of the song.
3-Apply some random effect to the entire song.
4-Go back to 2 until you have a song lenght you are ok with

I don't know about genre but I think the technique you're describing is known as overdubbing.

There's a lot of synthwave people who work with loops, you might want to look up perturbator and Dan Terminus.
But take this as a warning, the loops are not the center of their songs, they just work with loops sometimes.
Cooper Johnson
I'm talking about the album, not the easiest method. I don't know how he made three different sounds with one mixer. The best I can do is two if I pan it.
Landon Wood
you are describing a songwriting technique, not a genre

Yes. It's called a Passacaglia, and the single-most famous example was written by Bach:

Depends on your mixer, I guess.
Thank youuuu

House really. Hell, that's the whole premise of the genre really.

The lack of knowledge itt about classical musical forms is disheartening desu
Eli Cook
That's not a buildup, it's just sampling.
OP were you talking about people such as Zoe Keating?
Jose Hernandez
I thought about answering with a passacaglia but I interpreted OP's question to mean strict layering.

From a music theory/structure standpoint they are exactly the same thing. "Silly" game music or not, that song you posted also legitimately counts as an example of a Passacaglia.
Not that I don't see your point, but aren't I on Sup Forums as well?

> that song you posted also legitimately counts as an example of a Passacaglia.
Not that I disagree with you, but I was having a hard time coming up with passacaglias (or rather, passacaglias that call themselves passacalgias) that truly fit the description. There's a wealth of video game music that does it however, even though you wouldn't hear all of the layering in one sitting in-game.
