My current stash still smells like McDonalds, to me, outdoor P. allenii cultivated on woodchips ..in-vitro they yielded blackberry flavonoids, I just need to start a clean culture, tasting two months later. The Pan cyans I ordered were cultivated assuming they are poo-lovers, they do grow elsewhere in nature ..I have yet to find one in poo ..they do make seemingly every wrapped hay bale smell, like banana flavonoids ..as they do in-vitro ..a jar of banana explosion.
this has fantastic little moments where it sounds like human league, Fisher z, B.e.f or heaven 17 and you get the instant urge to hone in and develop the idea as it grabs you're imagination, you have to be quick to not lose the initial spark, pitch or brainfart.But you can instantly tell when it sounds "right" such a different and yet gratifying approach compared to todays linear methods.
Varispeed was a *huge* part of EMI's recording efforts for the Beatles at Abbey Road & it's quite gratifying to watch a similar pursuit here... Thanks, guys! 🫡
I love how Sam loves to come in with a higher bpm in mind because he's a frantic ADHD child but the fact he knows lower bpm sounds better in this instance warms my heart.
Man, you can play with slowing things down digitally all you want, and it does sound cool. But doing it with tape is just...something different and so much nicer. Darker. Warmer.
I’m going to spend the entire duration of this video anxiously watching the Space Echo perilously perched on top of everything else in that stack of gear…
protip: when rewinding on these old tascams (or any tape machine really) use the tape lifter to keep the tape off the heads. leave the scrubbing for when you really need to scrub the audio. (source: i owned & used multiple of these things in the 80s & early 90s incl an otari 1” 16 tk, studer a800 etc ). IIRC on those things you have to go to stop then rewind and will use the tape lifter.
This sound took me to the early Human League or even Joy Division sessions or early Kraftwerk times. Thank you for this experimental show, good songs and lots of fun with hands on the music 🙂
I literally like 30 mins ago just checked out this same machine from my local music store. It was weird to come home and this was on the top of my feed. Maybe I should go back and get it. Something's in the air. I tell you music is in the air. 😂
This is the exact tape machine I'm using for a mostly modular IDM/Ambient album I am making and posting on my page! I like using it to blow out drum sounds and get nice tape distortion/saturation when its in the red. I got that machine for $150 off of craigslist like 5 years ago and the dude gave me a HUUUUGE box of old reels as well with tons of mystery material on them. It has become indispensable for me.
I've always loved pitching stuff up and down and layering things at different speeds. I learned from the Beatles. Tracks like Yellow Submarine were recorded and then pitched down afterwards. Rain (the backing track) was played at a blistering speed and then pitched down afterwards and it's why Ringo's drums sound so full on that record.
Back in the early 80's, this exactly what we did. We recorded a Bass line to a half tempo click, then played it back at full tempo, giving us a really clicky guitar effect, which we doubled with bass . Not enough of this happens these days despite the tools available.
A plugin that can somehow emulate the artifacts of tape varispeed is something I've wanted for some time now. Talk to your audiothing buddies about it!
Are you a M4L user? You might want to try Varispeed (Homeland Elisabeth) or Tapes (Matisse Vrignaud). You could also noodle with the Slow Machine by BLEASS. There's also a few good options for half-speed (plugins or M4L), and splicing---such as Small Winters (Puremagnetik).
You can achieve this exact thing in Protools. Settinng the track to Varispeed, changing the track to ticks from it'a default samples setting. Then you use the bpm as "tape speed". Then you render the pitched audio when returning to your default song speed.
@@muyeikasamurabi1602 I'm an Ableton user, which has a similar function. I'm more looking for something that specifically emulates the unique artifacts of tape varispeed, but thank you!
I used to have a Tascam 424 cassette recorder, and I loved playing with the tape speed. It's surprising how hard it is to get the same effects in digital!
Bordsteinkante is super epic. This horn sound hold in the refrain is just too sick in completing the feeling. It’s straight amazing how creative you guys are, wholistic merging all conditions to music that vibes!
I can't believe I just saw the SH-2 in this video. My fav portable synth !!!! real sleeper but the prices have gotten ridiculous remember when I could find them for $200 !
Fun stuff!! That bass sound on the first track is MASSIVE once it's slowed down. It's funny, I have a Sony Walkman size dictaphone that takes regular cassette tapes- it has half speed and varispeed! Crazy little unit, never seen another quite like it.
Thanks to you both. This inspires me, even if I might have to leave home if I brought a big reel-to-reel machine into my apartment. I love the sound of tape processing, but illness and space has kept me from immersing myself in the actual gear required for the manipulation for my own music. Still, in my stronger moments I start thinking I should do it. At minimum, this video gives a push that may show up in my work in other ways.
i have a tascam 122 mkii deck with a pitch control on it which allows for recording at very odd speeds, still trying to get it fully operational but its a gorgeous looking piece of equipment fits well with my other cassette decks
My band L recorded an album in the Green Door Studios in Glasgow last year and we did a whole bunch of extreme tape manipulation on it such as pitching the track down manually during the live take. The craziest one was where we played 26 diffrent songs and only punched in the recording for a couple of seconds of each to create a megamix :)
I sometimes play my music back at half speed to figure out where I've played notes that are out of rhythm... Inevitably it sounds better, but unfortunately I'm not that keen on writing music that is 62bpm
I had that *exact* 4 track back in the 90s. Somehow my Dad had one that he just didnt really use, so it ended up at my little flat and I'd end up recording all sorts of nonsense with it. Till one day it died and it ended up back at my dads and I have no idea what happened to it. I should check if the old boy still has it, though he's fairly hairtrigger with throwing stuff out he doesnt use no more.
Ok no do reverse playback and bouncing in combination with half and double speed, varispeed is also still the best way to get wide lushes chorus sounds .the music was very early alt synth pop sound
hi they are very easy to get in the the back beware the roller lifter can get jammed up and not move right beware of the teac 44 70 ones they are heavy heavy i have a teac 44 i don't move it a lot came with the re mote yes you are right easy to fix i payed £100 to £250 for reel to reel decks in the past don't see any at this price any more £1000 plus now otari mx 80 i payed £1100 and it need some work i was lucky someone in usa had a remote for the deck purrs like my cat be wear when buying recorder they can be money pits
precious moments of pure creativity cannot be bought they cannot be packaged they cannot be predicted. you two have had several electrifying sessions together recently and this is a blessing for us, your admiring public. music is medicine for some and this EP is a cure indeed. thank you for blessing us with your skills, experience, talent and a sprinkle of serendipity. in return may the winds of creativity always blow on you two in force and in joy.
I want to put a sherman filterbank through a tape machine. all those fractals of wild sound that a sherman filterbank can create slowed down would be incredible
One thing I love about the A-3440 is that you can use the DBX in/outs as insert points both for recording and mixdown on each individual channel (because that’s all they essentially are). This machine punches far above its weight class 🥊
I really enjoyed the sound of the double-time drums. It had an energy to them! I'll have to play with that on Gauss :) Absolutely loved this video - it was a lot of fun seeing you and Sam playing together, and this definitely feels like a real collaboration: something neither of you would have really come up with on your own, but all the better because it's from both of you. Loved it!
You two have real chemistry! The speed change songs is definitely a great idea, and Teac makes it sound good. I used to use my Teac in the very same manner, but i lacked varispeed. It was either 7.5 ips or 15 ips, but i still used the technique of recording something at high speed, and then running it at slow speed and adding more layers to it, trying to get low frequency drones and tones that i would otherwise had no access to in the late 1990s when i played with the Teac tape machine. The real fun, if you can get the time, is to do your own "frippertronics" by ganging up 2 of the tape machines like in the diagram found in the Eno album Discreet Music. I have done a few of these tape experiments and each of which without a mixer at the time. However, with delay pedals that can easily do the same thing, it's not going to be too much different, but of course, it will be a tape thing so it'll have that tape sound, with all the grunge that occurs when messing with it. Keep on the exciting creativity! Cheers!
...awesome Lofi stuff you two delievered there , Stefan and Sam ! I´m glad Nick pointed us here this afternoon !! I just noticed that the white/green pullover matches perfectly the colorsceme of the Space Echo 🤩
PLEASE do a video on that Clavaline! I want to know more about that lever you’re moving and how it seems to change the volume? And I thought the microphone was connected to it at first haha
On the wall behind the reel-to-reel deck is a sewage drain pipe; what does it sound like if you put a contact mic on that, flush the toilet, record it at double speed and then pitch it down? (Then I suppose you can experiment with flushing different things down the toilet.)
Bordsteinkante is amazing. I passed on opportunities to buy 2 different reel to reel tape recorders in the last year for cheap. No idea if they worked, but I kind of wish I had gotten at least 1 of them.
Interesting look into the creative process of Sam. I have watched a few of his more techier videos, but not too many of him making original music. The Hainbach videos are more geared towards the music creation process. Anyway: what is the synth that Hainbach plays in the video? Looks funky!
So many memories from this. My best friend and I bought a 3440 in 1982 when we had a “band” for a while. We even had the DBX noise reduction unit for it. All sadly long gone, but fondly remembered.
Very inspiring insight, thank you for sharing. I think one of my biggest hold-back on tape-machines is actually the “service-condition” part, despite that you can find the service manual freely online. You will also experience on user-repair-forums that spare-parts [beyond belt-drive] are not easy to obtain, some even to a point where people suggest to buy another TEAC A-3440 for just parts.
It's easier if you concept requires you to play at half the speed you need. ;) ... oh... and then Sam said the same thing. The emergency German lesson was funny. :) When you first pitched the drums up it sounded SO much like my old Yamaha DD-10... carried me back to the the 1980s. ... right I'm off to Bandcamp now... I love these collaborations you two have been doing recently.

Aha, that's how Twice A Man got that drum sound!

That room looks like a playground. Pretty cool sound.
While not quite as cool sounding you can do this in a DAW if you want to do it on the cheap.
13:39 Gorillaz-ish 👍👍

4:24 is now my favourite "Stromberg-moment" which does not originate from the series.
Nice to see another A3440 on here !
Zwischen zwei Zweigen zwitschern zwei Schwalben
Being good at playing being a chore is not what a true Synth Lord would say, maybe you are not ready to release the power of this machine.
Просто офигенный трек! Между времени, очень лирично и грустно.
My hod this sounds like Trisome 21 : )
Is that a 501chorusecho ?
201
oh gott. wie schlimm. echt schlimm. steh drauf!
what is the mic that LMNC is singing into at 13:00?
Sennheiser MD21
Ty Mr Bach :D@@Hainbach
Fett!
LMNC's voice slowed down and distorted by that gear sounds fucking fantastic.
Hainbach and lmnc sound really good as a duo. Musical creativity and the voices, it all comes together so well
I’d describe the sound of that first song as “post-apocalyptic lounge music”
after the second hit..
the second bit sounds a bit like neu! 2
I’m going to spend the entire duration of this video anxiously watching the Space Echo perilously perched on top of everything else in that stack of gear…
protip: when rewinding on these old tascams (or any tape machine really) use the tape lifter to keep the tape off the heads. leave the scrubbing for when you really need to scrub the audio.

IIRC on those things you have to go to stop then rewind and will use the tape lifter.
A little puzzle: Hainbach wears a special arctic jumper and hat while his guest feels well in t-shirt. So what temperature is in the room?
@lookmumnocomputer contains the energy of about three people in one human so his body temperature is probably multiples higher.
This sound took me to the early Human League or even Joy Division sessions or early Kraftwerk times.
Thank you for this experimental show, good songs and lots of fun with hands on the music 🙂
Yeah, Sam's voice definitely took on an Ian Curtis property when pitched down.
I literally like 30 mins ago just checked out this same machine from my local music store. It was weird to come home and this was on the top of my feed. Maybe I should go back and get it.
Something's in the air. I tell you music is in the air. 😂

Who thought Hainbach´s Ambient would mix so well with that eletronic punk, lmnc brings to the table?
I love it!
I want the EP now :D

ive heard this technique on a Monkees song.
Well done! 👍
Do you recommend a place to get tape machines fixed in Berlin or somewhere in Germany?
like what u guys came up with here do more and explore drink more coffee and tea u2 :P
Collaboration, no midi sync or quantizing, experimentation.

It was either 7.5 ips or 15 ips, but i still used the technique of recording something at high speed, and then running it at slow speed and adding more layers to it, trying to get low frequency drones and tones that i would otherwise had no access to in the late 1990s when i played with the Teac tape machine.
The real fun, if you can get the time, is to do your own "frippertronics" by ganging up 2 of the tape machines like in the diagram found in the Eno album Discreet Music. I have done a few of these tape experiments and each of which without a mixer at the time. However, with delay pedals that can easily do the same thing, it's not going to be too much different, but of course, it will be a tape thing so it'll have that tape sound, with all the grunge that occurs when messing with it. Keep on the exciting creativity! Cheers!
Thanks! I have a video on closed loop frippertronics already, but will definitely try this as another dear friend just got a 3440 too
Sounds a little bid like Amon Düül on electricity. 😊 But I like it.
the blend of the creative styles of the two of you sounds amazing, it just works. the album is full of bangers!
Track's 2 "stars above" part gives me a LCD Soundsystem feel
Oh that is the hugest compliment
...awesome Lofi stuff you two delievered there , Stefan and Sam ! I´m glad Nick pointed us here this afternoon !! I just noticed that the white/green pullover matches perfectly the colorsceme of the Space Echo 🤩
Bruh, I would've never expected to hear the name "Tascam" in a musical context. Fantastic, thanks guys ❤
that space echo sussily stacked on top is giving me so much anxiety
PLEASE do a video on that Clavaline! I want to know more about that lever you’re moving and how it seems to change the volume? And I thought the microphone was connected to it at first haha
Will do!
@@Hainbach YAYYY
cool experimentation here, beautiful lofi. great vibe ✌
Lovely intro music, sounds really good with subwoofer
On the wall behind the reel-to-reel deck is a sewage drain pipe; what does it sound like if you put a contact mic on that, flush the toilet, record it at double speed and then pitch it down? (Then I suppose you can experiment with flushing different things down the toilet.)
It sounds like a waterfall
Bordsteinkante is amazing.
I passed on opportunities to buy 2 different reel to reel tape recorders in the last year for cheap. No idea if they worked, but I kind of wish I had gotten at least 1 of them.
It is always worth to try - often its just a belt that needs exchanging, that is easy to do on the old machines.
Hey hey Mister Hainbach the old Roland monosynth where Sam is playing with is this a SH2 ?
Yes!
Two mad scientists having fun i miss tape machines
That's quite the balancing act...the stacked units under the Echo. lol
It was pretty sturdy, but I have reworked everything the past three days. It is way more comfortable now.
Great collaboration mates! 😎😎😎 What Roland? SH-09? 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks! SH2
Gives me Huge Gorillaz Vibes
6:00 my same reaction. :) Ah!
That one on 12:12 was heavy as fuuuuck! 🔥
The whole segment at 13:30 is giving me awesome Spinvis x Gorillaz vibes. Does it get any better than that. Tremendously nice. Thank you both.
What’s your band name? Hainbach No Computer?
LOOK BACH HAINO
That’s actually pretty cool. Made that cheese beat trip hop and turned that dude into Jim Morrison
Totally correct about Jim Morrison.
Interesting look into the creative process of Sam. I have watched a few of his more techier videos, but not too many of him making original music. The Hainbach videos are more geared towards the music creation process.
Anyway: what is the synth that Hainbach plays in the video? Looks funky!
very nice cold war setup
Love it mane!!
One weird trick to halve your recording costs, studios hate it!
That would have been a fun tagline!

Zwischenzeit reminds me of Joy Division
So many memories from this. My best friend and I bought a 3440 in 1982 when we had a “band” for a while. We even had the DBX noise reduction unit for it. All sadly long gone, but fondly remembered.
Two legends right here
Very inspiring insight, thank you for sharing.
I think one of my biggest hold-back on tape-machines is actually the “service-condition” part, despite that you can find the service manual freely online. You will also experience on user-repair-forums that spare-parts [beyond belt-drive] are not easy to obtain, some even to a point where people suggest to buy another TEAC A-3440 for just parts.
It's easier if you concept requires you to play at half the speed you need. ;) ... oh... and then Sam said the same thing.
The emergency German lesson was funny. :) When you first pitched the drums up it sounded SO much like my old Yamaha DD-10... carried me back to the the 1980s.
... right I'm off to Bandcamp now... I love these collaborations you two have been doing recently.
