Thorr's Hammer ‎– Dommedagsnatt

It's quite funny that there was a discussion on the largest forum in Norway (VGdebatt) in the early 2000s about whether Runhild Gammelsæter was a real Norwegian person. The reason was that "Runhild" was perceived as too strange a name. I never thought so, though.

Now, of course, we know better, and the song "Norge" has even become the national anthem of Norway (I wish).

Cassette cover. Black and white photo of Runhild Gammelsæter on stage in white (in general, looking very pale/white because of the light), holding a microphone on stand, looking to (her) right). "Thorr's Hammer" above her. Runes in the bottom, probably the name of the tape.

Found this beautiful machine today.

I haven’t bought it yet, but I very well may.

Even if it needs cleaning or refurb work, it’s been a while since I’ve given myself a project like this.

The owner wasn’t at the shop, so I’ll have to go back and ask about it. It was just sitting in a lower storage cabinet in one of the record stores I frequent.

Even if it’s beyond fucked and unrepairable, I’d still like it as an #art piece.
Gorgeous!

Continuing #dawless today for another #jamuary2025 #music #track. Using a single sequencer this time, mostly to test my routing / wiring of my #modular #synth setup. Single take straight to 4 track #cassette. This #ambient minimalist piece is called Tranquille, french for tranquil or calm (or even solo, also applicable given i used one sequencer). A TR-606 drum machine complements the System 100m modules. #drummachine #soundcloud #jamuary #modularsynth #eurorack #tape

SoundCloudTranquille (Jamuary 19)Another music track for #jamuary2025 generated on one of my modular synth, a System 100m tribute. The previous track (quatuor) used 4 sequences while this one uses only one, so more of a solo. Yet thi

Another one for the #archive #datahoarder #storage #nas bubble:

What is the ~best DVD-ROM drive to read old and likely degraded media?

The Internet at large seems devoid of any information, it's all AI and linkfarming slop.

Are #MDisc worth it? If yes, what drive, disk manufacturer etc do I want? Are 100GB discs are reliable as 50 and 25 ones?
#HDD have shorter life? #LTO #tape seems less portable?

Retoots and replies *very* much appreciated.

argv minus one

I wonder if anyone ever made a proper #tape drive (a tape deck whose motor is under computer control) that takes Compact Cassettes instead of tapes designed specifically for computers (DECtape, QIC, etc).

The #Commodore #Datasette is a tape deck that takes Compact Cassettes and is specifically designed for use with a computer, but the motor is controlled by the human using buttons, not by the computer. This puzzles me. Why was it not designed to be controlled by the computer?
