Reader Andreas Monopolis shared this video demo of The Tapetron -2, a DIY instrument based on the idea of the early samplers.
The instrument is based around two modified portable cassette players that can play pre-recorded tapes or loop tapes. The controls for each tape are: on/off the motor, sound play /trigger, volume, motor speed, Dc — battery power, line in, line out.
You can see more of Monopolis’s projects and performances via his MOCM Youtube channel.
I just looked up awesome in the dictionary, and this post was already there!
No skunk you were there 🙂 I think Keanu Reeves was speaking through me.
Mixing some old Ween albums on tape would seriously rip it up!
Solomun and Nina Kravitz B2B would be intense
Nina Kravitz rocks 🙂
Inventive, brilliant idea. I thought he was going to flip the tapes over and play side B.
Short, snappy video. Best entertainment I’ve seen in a long time.
