Recording provided by Stacey Copeland.
This is a recording using my DIY electromagnetic microphone while running a Studer A810 Tape Recorder build in 1982. I recorded this during a part-time job at Number 9 Studio in Toronto back in 2016. I got to know this reel to reel machine well while using it to digitize recordings for clients. Another beautiful machine running itself into obsolescence. There's a great overview of this tech here: https://www.capstan.at/Reel2006/Essay%2009.html
This is part of the Obsolete Sounds project, the world’s biggest collection of disappearing sounds and sounds that have become extinct – remixed and reimagined to create a brand new form of listening. Explore the whole project at https://citiesandmemory.com/obsolete-sounds
