Broken Old Sochor Tape Delay: L'entropie Magnétique..

Sabine's Equation - Telephone

There is something very special about the imperfections of old recording technology and sometimes things are so broken they kind of take on a life of their own. Over the years I have come to cherish a knackered old Polish Sochor tape delay in my studio which has so much wow and flutter the effect it imparts into delay and reverb is really quite special and I have resisted attempting to repair it for many years now as I fear that magic would be lost.

Today's happy accident was made by feeding a Roland D-50 via a Fairchild 664 L/C EQ and matching germanium preamp into the Sochor delay which was was pretty much all over the place as usual :-]

At the beginning of this year I was selected by Cities and Memory to be part of "Migration Sounds", a beautiful sound project together with people from 51 countries.
I worked on my composition based on Ben Brindle's field recording. I took a bit of that fragment and assembled it by processing synths, horns, a lot of reverb and delay to be able to fuse the English and Argentinean fan base.

The project is the result of a collaboration between Cities and Memory and the Centre for Migration, Politics and Society (COMPAS) at the University of Oxford.

A sequenced instrument from Hideaway Studio's Orbitone Collection played at 240bpm recorded onto a 7-track TEAC MR-30 analog laboratory data cassette recorder at 38cm/s as FM encoded audio and then played back at quarter speed on the deck at 9.5cm/s resulting in a wonderfully distressed sonic sepia effect. 

Originally designed to record sensor signals down to DC in laboratory experiments, using FM encoding to record audio results in a noise and natural compression profile that is really quite different to conventional tape recorders and has the distinct advantage that there is no tape roll and when it comes to experimenting with extreme slo-mo playback there is no bias oscillator to be exposed even playing back at 1.2 cm/s. Trouble is, you only get 10 minutes recording time on a C90 tape using this thing!

Lyrics:

Guarded by that distant light
Silver metal, blinded eyes
Angel guardian or malaise
Keep me until I lost my mind
I’ve lost my mind

Ice creeping all over me
Scratching off my insanity
Watch me appear in the twilight 
Even if you don’t boder
My tears blend with the water

American percussionist and composer Michael Ranta is a legendary figure who has worked with some of the most significant names of 20th century music but despite this and impressive body of work of his own, he has remained an obscure figure. Important Records and is pleased to present “Transits, Volume 1” the first in a series of releases by composer/percussionist Sarah Hennies documenting never before heard chamber works mostly composed in the 1970s while Ranta was living in Taiwan. 

Mastered by Tom Eaton at Sounds & Substance.

Based overseas since the late 60s, Ranta is known primarily as a percussionist who worked closely with Harry Partch, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Helmut Lachenmann, Toru Takemitsu and Jean-Claude Éloy but is also an accomplished artist himself with a vast body of work spanning improvisation, electronic music, and composition. The works in the “Transits” series comprise a dozen works of scored compositions for solo and chamber ensembles almost all of which are completely unknown with no known performances or recordings since their original premieres. Volume 1 includes “Mharuva,” a 30-minute marathon tour-de-force for solo marimba, “Seven Pieces for Three Percussionists,” and the 40-minute “Continuum II,” a stunning display of virtuosity for two bass clarinets, percussion, and electronics.


“Transits, Volume 1” features performances by Sarah Hennies, NYC clarinetists Madison Greenstone and Katie Porter, and the Bard College Conservatory Percussion Ensemble.

Micael Ranta - Mharuva (excerpt) - From Transits Vol 1 - Available Nov 22, 2024

Composed with VLF radio captures taken over the last week and generative Schumann resonance.  Stretched, pitch-shifted, time-lapsed, looped on the fly in real-time on October 11, a day where time slowed down. Thanks to Charles Whittaker for bringing me to the title via Corbin. Image of alleged Aurora taken from photo on October 10 but of unknown location and we don't know if it's "ecnhanced" by being a photograph of something we might no be able to see -- like the sound of VLF which, without special devices, cannot be heard.
