That noise on the answering machine tape is the digital code to tell the machine the date and time of the message. If you put the tape into a multi track tape player you could isolate the noise and the actual message. But regardless. Cool video, now i want a variable speed tape player.

This had a feel, a groove, that has been a bit absent lately in mainstream (at least to me). Nostalgic yet refreshing. Very chill. If you sit back in a big comfy chair and bop your head unknowingly while listening to this, then you know you did it right. You did it right.

2:30 "Full of amazing beeps" accurately describes a lot of Andrew's best stuff.

KZread Rewind: "a thing no one should remember." - Andrew Huang 2k19

That dirty drum loop and the speed-bent ambient really came out awesome! As an aside, the beeps on the voicemail tape are very likely control tones for the recorder. I suspect they're only on one of the two channels of the tape, though your video makes the tape sound mono so I can't be sure.

Daamn. Dude where did you get that killer raincoat ?

There’s a really fascinating temporal aspect to this kind of music. The idea of setting up music that is completely tethered to the speed of playback, then altering it with different recordings at different speeds to achieve different pitches is a really fascinating premise. Imagine what you could do if you had two of them, and recorded them back and forth at different speeds to get slower and slower or faster and faster samples. I also like how destructive it is. When you’re working in a software suite like ableton, you can make a copy of your sample and keep it forever. If you only have like two tapes, that’s all the recording real estate you have. It has to breed some pretty creative solutions to problems.

Ahhh so many memories of tapes flooding back on this, love the tune you came out with in the end, so sick!
