@mcc When I was young, a friend and I kind of did this, but the first track of The Downward Spiral recorded on top of itself. Two boomboxes, one with a dual tape deck where you could play both tapes at the same time (we may have had to hold both play buttons down for this to work, memory is fuzzy).
Then dub the first song onto two tapes, put those in the first boombox, line out into the second, record that on one tape. Swap that into the first boombox and repeat. Swap that into the second deck of the first and repeat.
Things got muddy and distorted quickly, but the neat part was that the decks ran at slightly different speeds, either due to battery level or different mechanism or whatever. So the earlier stuff got slower with every generation.

@michaelgemar @mcc This is honestly very good, and reminds me a bit of Dawn of Midi. They construct hypnotic, looping riffs at slightly different speeds, letting the interaction of the different tempos create a kind of audio moiré interference. The tracks flow together, slowly mutating from one "song" to another.
Despite being named "Dawn of Midi" and self-describing as "minimal electronic dance," they use no electronic instrumentation, only acoustic drums, piano, and upright bass. They're rooted in jazz, but use it to handcraft additive waveform syntheses.
