If you'd of been born in the 70s, we'd all be living in a different future. I'm 53 and I used to manipulate tape heads for speed and getting the left/right to play on all the head and stretch the tape. Or Betamax to look like cinema film. I once plugged a Walkman into the mains and for a 1000th of a second I heard God itself just before it caught fire and the copper in the wire I was holding melted. Beautiful times. Love your work my Man.

I had one of those cool toys that came with a long card with tape stuck to the bottom end and the machine would play the first part like "what is 5 + 5" and then it would pause for you to answer and you'd push a button to hear the answer. After some time it started sounding very demonic because the tape on the cards would get easily damaged so I started making my own cards with regular random bits of old tapes but the speed wasn't quite the same. Loads of fun nonetheless

Yes, this is great. I've been trying to come up with a solid idea for an electromechanical audio compressor that would somehow integrate a harddisk read/write arm. Just really love the intersection of audio, electronics, mechanical components. Always wanted to build a plate reverb. Just feel like there's so much rich texture in the physical world that could be captured and remodulated onto sound. Like I'm thinking about that Steve Mould motion amplification video... could you take an extract of a video of some factory and modulate that onto the eq/saturation profile of a vocal track for a uniquely flavored distressor effect. So like instead of using random noise or something, it's like flavored/opinionated noise. Or instead of a static impulse response curve for a modeled guitar amp, the curve itself is subtly modulated over time. Idk.

This is what we used to do back in the day kiddies!!! Grab a bunch of junk, and slap it together to get things to be greater than the sum of their parts!

@benjaminshropshire2900 2 ай бұрын
One cool ting that could be done with it is to build a sort of EQ. It turns out that when you are building an EQ in software, it's done by computing the output as the sum of a bunch of delayed and scaled (an possibly inverted) samples from the input. This is basically doing that in analog. To get that to work properly, you would almost certainly need *much* faster tape (the head-to-head delay needs to be close to some multiple of the inverse of the frequency and the delay between the write and the last read needs to be close to the response time you want). it would be interesting to try to build one out of a hard drive platter (using computer parts to do analog stuff would be kinda cool in an ironic way) or some other kind of magnetic media than tape.
