Old tapes…
I still have some old k7 tapes at my parents’ house. Some I recorded 15 years ago and some older from the 60’s which belonged to my parents… This medium is completely obsolete nowadays.
I even found some recordings I did with my best friend when I was around 14 years old. We used a Revox tape recorder and recorded many instruments: drums, piano, african percussions and even synth sounds using midi program on a Mac. We were trying to do hip-hop! And the result was quite… bizarre.
The way we record music has dramatically changed. We’re now in the digital age and the production cycle is getting shorter and shorter thanks to computers. But I’m sure some people are still using vintage tools… just because they love them. For instance Jérôme Noetinger uses a Revox on stage, not as a recorder but as a mechanical object for making electro-acoustic sounds.
