Cassettes, Wow and Flutter, and Giant Robots

Kid Koala post Cassettes, Wow and Flutter, and Giant Robots from patreon

Sometimes I feel like I've been tasked to dig up lost and forgotten technology and try to figure out how to give it a new chance to shine.

Scratchcratchratchatch. Remastered from the original 4 Track Cassette

Kid Koala post Scratchcratchratchatch. Remastered from the original 4 Track Cassette from patreon

Here it is. The first Kid Koala mix tape. Remastered from the original 4 track cassette. Recorded using 2 turntables, a mixer and a Fostex 160 four track recorder in the 1990s.

These were turntable experiments made from a stack of vinyl records (some of which I'd had since I was a 3 years old). It was the summer of 1995...

It was the middle of the night on a leap day.  Everyone was asleep in the house.  And I decided to hit LAUNCH on the Patreon page because it was one of those quiet moments of clarity (mixed with a healthy dose of trepidation). 

I waited several minutes.  crickets.  A click into the digital abyss...
