I bouced all my New Star album on a #RevoxB77 mk II reel to reel recorder at 15 ips and created a #YouTube video.

My vacation starts today (yay!) so I bought some #music to celebrate. #vinyl #electronicmusic #laibach #reeltoreel #cher
There’s some Master Tape vibe, here

Fun fact: the length of the New Star album is 33 min 21s, that reproduced at 15 ips fills exactly one 10.5” reel (762m or 2500ft) of #SM900 high output #tape by #RTM.

smoke signals / nerduban. 1968 [full album • double lp • analog psych noir rock]
Unearthed from a forgotten reel-to-reel tape labeled “Nerduban – Violet Lantern Sessions.”
This 30-track double LP was tracked in Spring 1968 at The Violet Lantern Club, South Side Chicago — a nocturnal journey of analog tremolo guitars, swirling Farfisa organs, brushed snares, modal jazz fragments, and hypnotic noir psychedelia. -Captured straight to mono tape — no edits, no overdubs. -All bleed, hiss, and hum left intact. -Restored carefully from decayed tape and analog drift. – Let the echo pull you in.

LINER NOTES: From the inner sleeve of the 1968 Violet Lantern pressing: “Nerduban never played for the crowd. They played for the shadows in the room.”
Recorded in the spring of 1968 inside the dim-lit rehearsal chamber of Chicago’s Violet Lantern Club, Smoke Signals captures a moment that feels both ancient and eerily current. This isn’t music made for the radio, but for the tape deck of a forgotten basement — where echo swirls, tremolo pulses, and stories never find their endings. Every hiss you hear is real. Every amp buzz, every tape drift, every ghost in the left channel — it all stayed. No edits. No second takes. This was Nerduban at their most honest: ambient, abstract, moody, raw. With analog equipment humming just past the point of breakdown, they mapped out a noir-psychedelic terrain that sways between modal jazz and smoke-drenched rock séance. You don’t listen to this record — you drift through it. — W. K. HEINGART Archivist & Engineer Nerduban Archive Circle, 2025

My TEAC 32-2B is home and operational again. Turns out it’s a rare one, actually being a Tascam X-10 disguised as a TEAC 32-2. I guess that’s why they added the “B.” It has 2 drive belts instead of 1, but the kicker is that it supports both NAB (North American) and IEC (European) EQ with a push button on the front panel. #GearHunter #MusicProduction #Analog #ReelToReel #Tascam #TEAC

“I had this little house in California, back in 1984. My Marshall stacks and a reel-to-reel were set up in the living room. I remember getting my drummer to have a jam at 3am”: From his live show, to cutting classics, Yngwie Malmsteen lives off-the-cuff

We watched "Late Night with the Devil" (2023) tonight. I posted a #5SecondMovieReview of it earlier. We enjoyed it.
However... one little thing about it is nagging at me, like a splinter in the mind's eye.
It's a period piece, set in the #1970s. The major thread of the story includes a psychologist and her sessions with a patient, which are #recorded. Part of one is played back as part of a #television show, and onscreen during that #playback is an open-reel (aka reel-to-reel) #tape #deck playing a tape.
1970s, open-reel recording - it's #retro, it's #cool, it's period-authentic, right?
I can't shake the feeling that whoever put the visual together has never actually seen an open-reel tape recorder in operation. This picture is lousy, because it's a screencap from the movie, which is supposed to be showing a television broadcast in good old analog SD - but it gets the point across.
See anything wrong?
The takeup #reel, on the right, turns clockwise, the opposite direction of the (normal) direction of the supply reel. So the tape wraps onto the inner side of the takeup reel, and ends up "inside out".
There's also no tension arm on the supply side, and an apparent #tension arm on the takeup side, but it's not actually in the tape path.
I don't think any machines were actually made like this, but I'm not an #expert. Can anyone identify the deck they butchered or digi-simmed to create this #sin against nature? 
So now we have a Lyrec anno approx 1976. Some cleaning and installation work to do... Looking really forward to put this into work! #ReelToReel #Lyrec #24Track #analog

Found this beautiful machine today.
I haven’t bought it yet, but I very well may.
Even if it needs cleaning or refurb work, it’s been a while since I’ve given myself a project like this.
The owner wasn’t at the shop, so I’ll have to go back and ask about it. It was just sitting in a lower storage cabinet in one of the record stores I frequent.
Even if it’s beyond fucked and unrepairable, I’d still like it as an #art piece.
Gorgeous!

Mnem - For Delta Relics. A very fascinating project, still somewhat obscure after all these years active. Probably due to quite few, and mostly very limited releases. Captivating soundscapes, made from "reel-to-reel tapes rotated, recycled, looped and manipulated analogically".
Available as pay-as-much-as-you-want:
Holy cow! I received yesterday the #ArturiaDrumbruteImpact and the association with the #Microfreak is just amazing 
I spent an evening playing some chords with the arpeggiator and playing on them using strings patches on the #Proteus/1 the results can be hypnotic and emotional. I’m amazed. I think I will get this configuration for a few days, recording the results with the #ReelToReel tape machine. It’s incredibly effective
