So when my friend Wouter asked me if I want to try out his new mics with him I took this venerable and very heavy tape machine with me. When I hit vari-speed everything came together.

This instrument / effect is made in very small numbers in Norway, mine is number 74 and it took 3 and half years on the waiting list to get it. Here I am playing with it and showing what I came up with this rather pretty little feedback monster.

I took my trusty vintage MD421-2 and combined it with a period-correct Uher Report Monitor 4000. I have seen reporters on TV, children’s books (Ali Mitgutsch Wimmelbücher for my German audience) and IRL rocking this combination, down to the leather bag.
Recording outside I was surprised how sensitive the combination was - I had used the 421 in the studio, on drums especially for my „Nuclear Drum Loops“ sound pack. Outside it picked up tiny details from the environment -.especially birdsong sounded beautiful. As someone obsessed with field recording on tape, that was a wonderful surprise. I can replace my heavy Nagra setup with the Uher/MD421 in many cases.
The MD421 is a truly classic mic, here is to many more 421 days! Now @sennheiser, how about a MD21 day? I got ideas :-) #ad #anzeige# microphone# fieldrecording #retrotech #reeltoreelThe Renaissance of a Rare Rave ClassicHAINBACH2024-04-08 | The Orgon Systems Enigiser was not much of hit when it came out, with only 50 to 150 units being known to exist. But over time it became a cult-classic, thanks to its excellent filter that fits perfectly into underground dance music. After decades of it being a collector's item, we are now spoiled for choice as two companies offer clones and the original creator is re-releasing the Enigiser again. I am working with the Analog Sweden Swenigiser (available via unzunz.com) in this video, a much enhanced version of this rave classic.

But just as I was wrapping up I discovered that there was something else at play...

It was used by a bunch of German bands at the time, most prominently the wonderful Harmonia, a supergroup consisting of members of Neu! and Cluster (some of which where involved in a short-lived iteration of Karftwerk, too). In this video I show its functions (including a big surprise at the very end) and how @LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER and me used it on our EP "Pipe Dreams", out now on hainbach.bandcamp.com/album/pipe-dreams

Elgam quickly realized that they could a make a standalone product out of this, for the more mobile musicians entertaining crowds at business and family functions. They set a trend - CRB and Elka followed with the Computerband 2000 and Wilgamat. These standalone keyboards can be called the first groove boxes. In this video I demo this cosmic sounding wonder and show real world applications in scoring.

Coaxing tones out of them requires dedication and patience, but is very rewarding, both in developing new skills and musical results. I tried to stay to true to the tiny test equipment music world, shunning easy solutions to make it music, like using it with regular sequencers, sampling the wall or excessive editing in post. But after a few crucial pieces died off and repair costs sky-rocketed and I decided to combine it with Eurorack modular. I was very surprised by the result.

The seller noted the odd cinematic presets of the instruments and I got curious: Karate Kid, Halloween, Poltergeist all suggested more powerful sounds than similar sized boards of the time. Since it was cheap I ordered it and right after unboxing I was triggered by waves of nostalgia (which I usually don't fall for). It has presets that remind me of watching horror films on VHS and playing Amiga 500 games with my friends in the late 80s and early 90s. It sounds distinctly lofi, which makes it stand out today, but has very limited synthesis capabilities. According to the manual it shares the same synthesizer engine as the bigger K-series synths by Kawai, but you can't tweak anything except for layering up to four parts.

If you find one below 500EUR you are very lucky. This is very unusual for what is essentially a very middle of the road instrument from the early 90s. Threads full of speculation ensue: does it have a desirable retro sound? Special features? Is it even the next TR-808/303 and will see a further "to the moon" price hike? I ordered one and tried to find out why this seemingly underwhelming keyboard has so many fans willing to pay top dollar.
PRS is sold for 260EUR. Only time a video of mine dropped the price on an Instrument :-).

I always tried to balance utility and price, so I can record anything in a "good enough" way without overspending. In this video share my top 5 microphones for studio and location recording with you. There are vintage classics here by AKG, Neumann and Sennheiser, but also usual and even new mics. I also talk about some very special mics even the die-hard mic-heads among you might not know. My hope is that this will be an inspiration when you choose which mics to add to your collection.

Auguste Dupin employs a vintage dictaphone to document his interrogation of the enigmatic and twisted Billionaire Roderick Usher. The prop department chose one of my favorite dictaphones, the Sony Mic’n’ Micro M-100MC. This is one of the last microcassette recorders ever produced, and is now 27 years old. What could be the motivation to equip a character in a 2023 series with an ancient magnetic tape device? I make some educated guesses. Beware: there are SPOILERS! Happy Halloween!
