Ron Nagorcka - Lovregana: Music From a Tasmanian Forest (1990)

Un cassette particular este. reinventa el sonido de a partir de sus intervenciones electrónicas. De esta forma tenemos aves autóctonas sintetizadas y un didgeridoo re loco. Creo que pocos discos deben sonar así, es un experimento con mucha mucha identidad.

Adventures in recording (from yesterday).

I’d patched all kinds of stuff into the Meng Qi DPLPG and recorded it to tape, then played it back half speed. Ended up repatching to create something a bit more sparse.

It’s sounding really interesting with the Serge Wave Folder running through it.

Günther Rabl - Bittersweet

from the Album 'Werke 5' released on canto crudo - ccr405

'Bittersweet' is a short mood piece that is carried by the unstable contrast of two types of sounds. The first type is near, intimate, gentle and therefore low; the second type is rough, aggressive, but from a distance and therefore low as well.

So, these things are interesting. BeepBoop has taken a tape head & attached it to a wand. Held against moving magnetic tape, it can read the recorded sound from the tape & feed it into a small (2HP) amplifier which brings the signal up to Eurorack levels, allowing you to process recorded tape in your Eurorack gobbledegook (technical term).

I had a conversation with him yesterday; he's making me a 1/4" version (the link below is for a cassette head).

Welp, today has already been productive. 😊😢

In case it’s not clear, I’m unspooling 30-year old recording tape from the reel-to-reel at the top of the photo.

If you have an Instagram thingy thangy, you can view the video I uploaded to my 'story' this morning.

Tape deck testing (forward and reverse) in action. Recorded in mono on an iPad, so don't expect too much.

So far so good with the testing of my newly-refurbished reel-to-reel. Everything’s working, and I have to say, the sound quality is incredible. I can’t detect any difference between the source material and the recording.

I did get a bit of an education yesterday when I learned that no consumer-grade reel-to -reel will play a recording backwards. I’d been hoping to do that.

Instead, you can record a passage in stereo, then swap the reels, and record another passage. After pressing play to hear one ‘side’, you can press the reverse button to have the deck play in the opposite direction, during which you’ll hear the other ‘side’ you recorded. Then you can toggle back and forth, without stopping in between.

Still useful for creative purposes. 🎶

I sent this beast off yesterday to be serviced. It’s generally in decent shape for a 1970s deck, though I’m anticipating getting it back in like-new condition.

@contemporarymusic I’ve recently been listening to William Basinski‘s The Disintegration Loops. I find these sounds to be quite extraordinary and the story of how they came to be rather touching • m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL

Maybe this is the wrong place to ask, but Audiophile Mastodon: which pre-amp should I use for my vintage mid/hi-end 1987 tape deck? I want to minimize any additional signal noise as much as possible in order to maximize the output quality of the tape deck. Can I just hook up the rear RCA outputs to like a Schiit pre-amp?
