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!
