I shot this on holiday, in my mother's guestroom, so enjoy the amazing wall art my nephews did while I talk obsolete but fun recording media. Let me know if you would like to see more Minidisc explorations, I personally am looking forward to try out more stuff.

"Could I do this with a laptop? Of course. Do I want to do it with a laptop? No." 🤣 Great video.

I deeply respect your lack of prejudice towards equipment as well as your sheer drive for experimentation, this is extremeley refreshing, thanks!

Me, age 9: *banging on guitar* Them: isn't that cute Me, age 19: *mindless riffing* Them: that's pretty good, what is that Me, age 19: i dunno it just sounds cool i make it up Me, age 26: *harmonizing in fundamental molecular resonant quartertones* Them: neat but nobody cares, nobody will listen, and you'll never make a living at that *A WILD HAINBACH APPEARS*

@Hainbach 4 года назад

I want to hear fundamental molecular resonant quartertones.

@russellzauner 4 года назад

One of my friend/teachers and I had a crazy conversation about that during one "lesson" I got crippled and fired from my 25+ year career as an eng tech a week before last xmas. I've got time when I am lucid (pain management), I have long been interested in connecting global music back into our DNA intrinsic natural response curves, among things, but that's the sum of it. We are all connected somehow and I believe that our manipulation and models of stimulus on the audio (and expanded, including a cognitive and regenerative spectra models) frequencies can demonstrate this connectedness in practice. Most people don't understand that real discovery is mostly practice, *then* theory. I used to think weirder shit than this but it was way less plausible and tools were not really available.

@russellzauner 4 года назад

It's not clear from that minibraindump but yeah, I'd like to see that too. Anyone who says "golden cowbell" understands. Gold is not the metal or the color of the bell, its a gold *sound*

@pinkglow2402 3 года назад

russell zauner Is there a way you can private message me and tell me what you’ve been thinking about that? Im interested in hearing what you have to say

@N8_Z3R0 6 лет назад

More videos on using Minidisc players in creative ways? Yes please!!!

@wozlaser 5 лет назад

+1 huge nostalgia for minidisk, mine was my closest buddy in highschool

@Ellotus13 6 лет назад

This is so ridiculously cool! "Could I do this on a computer? Yes. Do I want to? No" gave me a good chuckle, the humor in your videos is so weirdly appropriate. It's very honest and holistic, like your music.

@Hainbach 6 лет назад

Thank you! I recorded that line in response to the criticism I get that we talked about on the podcast. That I am "too extra and could just use a laptop".

@DanFingermanOctopus 6 лет назад

I think it's more along the lines of 'would you do this on a computer'. And I don't think so. Also, hi Eppu!

@Ellotus13 6 лет назад

Hi Dan! Good to see you here.

maybe a sort of ambient guru that helps you when you're trapped in the desert with a tascam fourtrack recorder powered by your own thoughts - I'd settle for that.

Got here because of MiniDisc search.... magical, now you need to release this on MiniDisc for us all to enjoy :)

@tjwalkup7155 2 года назад

That’s a cool idea.

@User-wq9ri 2 года назад

I love minidisc recorders. It so easy to edit your music by using track markers and delete. It's also nice to be able to move the tracks around on the discs.

@richiemontero3880 5 лет назад

Danke Herr Hainbach, the vocal recording is absolutely beautiful and I feel incredibly inspired to do the same

@ChanseMacabre 6 лет назад

Great explanation and demo! Your videos always inspire me to try something new with something I've already got gathering dust, rather than convincing me to buy a new toy. What a rare gift in the electronic music scene. :)

@Hainbach 6 лет назад

That is awesome to hear!

@bobpercy 6 лет назад

aha - got my old minidisk out just the other day!! perfect timing!!

@Brdo666 3 года назад

This is a great tip, I’ve had an old minidisc player and a stack of blank discs sat around for ages. I’ve not really used it at all bar doing some lo-fi digital field recording, but always felt that there was probably a creative use for it that was waiting to be discovered. Looking forward to digging it out now!

@Fedor_Tkachev_Music 6 лет назад

Great, great, looking forward to the part 2!

@MartinYamMoller 6 лет назад

Shuffle mode...sweetly generative, great idea. Just need to find a minidisc that does shuffle live recording👍 looking forward to the glitchy videos

@dimitri4004 Год назад

I don't share your productions technique but your videos always give me a lot of inspiration. They even had me looking at DDR tape recorders on Ebay Kleinanzeigen more than once.

@lazarusmoment4682 3 года назад

@AlexeyFilippenkoPlummet 5 лет назад

This stare with no blinks creeped me out lol. It's like Hainbach is trying to look right into my soul, like he's not entirely human anymore. Add to that the fact that I took a strong sleep pill yesterday, slept for 13 hours and after waking up feel like I'm not entirely human anymore too lol, with all this ambient hypnotizing me way deeper on top of that.

@Hainbach 5 лет назад

Yeah, in these earlier videos I had to concentrate a lot to not mess up, which results in no blinking. I have gotten more relaxed now.

@marcusphoenixish 5 лет назад

I got two portable mini disc recorders they’re great for making on the go recordings. I like MP3 players or even my phone as a recording device. But minidiscs are hands on retro devices with moving parts. And very well built. My original device came from Japan over 20 years ago and is still working and my other device is a hi md unit they’re both Sony love them...

@Kurrent. 5 лет назад

This is sooo fire man! Very nice blend of textures.

@teenageoperator7246 6 лет назад

oml, Hainbach, you’re killing me... there was something about that zoom in that tickled my funny bone deeeply. please make these little interludes an ongoing thing 😂. good grief, a bonus track at the end? you spoil us...

@Hainbach 6 лет назад

Ha, these little things make the editing more fun, so they will appear when appropriate.

@tallon3925 5 лет назад

@alphabetdust8682 6 лет назад

@matthewlucas7797 5 лет назад

@peterb7435 5 лет назад

Another amazing video!

@KeltyVince 6 лет назад

Yes, it could be done with a laptop, but as well as your not wanting to use a laptop for the task, a laptop it quite large, and in some cases, less dependable, Minidisc is a very very reliable medium, from my experience using it over the years, so great for doing what you do in a live situation. I have the exact same Minidisc recorder you are using in this video, as well as others, they are also very good recorders, if you get a decent stereo microphone connected to it, great for low noise, high dynamic range field recording, if you like to do such things, and far better than a laptop in that kind of situation !. Oh, and Great video you made !.

@SyncdAlien 5 лет назад

Enjoyed very much. Thanks. 👍

@Hyper5nic 4 года назад

I came here via your hate-loops video and can't say I regret it! Ambient and glitchy music is much more fun and interesting.

@martinwhile1607 5 лет назад

I tune in to your channel typically on a Sunday morning. Hot coffee nearby. You conduct some fabulous sermons, guidance and enlightenment. This is my church.

@Hainbach 5 лет назад

Love the image, thank you!

@kriskeyser6691 6 лет назад

Wow, this is brilliant. When I saw you were working with minidiscs, I had no clue how you'd be able to use them in a creative, non-linear manner. This technique is really clever! I immediately asked my friend to borrow his minidisc player :)

@Hainbach 6 лет назад

Nice! Have fun!

@somaticjet2717 6 лет назад

You are on a roll. Love your techniques x

@Hainbach 6 лет назад

Thank you! Yeah, I have a bunch of ideas and finally my voice is back so I can realise them.

@JoshuaDb_The_Witness 5 лет назад

ChristI was in music school in New York in 2002, and I desperately wanted one of these ,searched all over Manhattan and shelled out 250. Now, As with so many of your videos, I wish I’d kept the damn thing! I think I just threw it out, because I have no foresight. In retrospect I have given away and thrown up so much shit over the years that I could be using right now… I only hold your mildy responsible of course, But I am adult enough to admit that my frustrations are missed placed. By the way, I started using my handheld cassette recorders as microphones, And amplifiers! Thanks again for The inspiration. Perhaps I will post a video of some of the Sounds I’m working on.

@coco805 5 лет назад

Your video inspired my to dig out my old Sony MD player, and oh boy! I had forgotten how great the MZ-R55 is, it has an amazing feature where you can add track markers live while it records/plays, as many as you want!

@benjamingood-elliott5150 5 лет назад

This stuff would work so well as music for Simon Stålenhag’s books! I hope the show producers ask you for your music because it would fit the atmosphere so well.

@pongtrometer 5 лет назад

they are great i have a portable one....and make multiple edits on recorded material....and put on the random setting too...a new sonic palette from the familiar into a new language....i had fun at sound design school with this technique....i love how you make use of empty space...excellent

@aurora3655 5 лет назад

Actually, I loved the minidisc. The sound was amazing on them.

@zochbuppet448 5 лет назад

Iv always wanted start producing my own music, I used to do field recordings and tape cut ups using just cassette recorders when I was a teenager but never got past that due to school and then soul destroying jobs. Ièm a bit slow on learning technology and never even got into basic stuff like fruity loops etc. There was never anyone who could teach me the basics of putting together- wiring a few pieces of equipment . My year long university course in Sound Synthesis was the worst of the worthless. I never learned everything because the instructor never taught us how to use the equipment, you had to teach your self the equipment. Thanks for you videos. I still have my minidisc from 2002 before everything went totally digital.

@Hainbach 5 лет назад

Glad these videos help you create!

@hamsp2ls888 5 лет назад

Very inspiring video! Please keep on making those. Cheers from Gdańsk!

@Hainbach 5 лет назад

I might do something on CD next, if the players I found are as fun and cheap as imagined.

@zenpylon 5 лет назад

Amazing music and very inspirational. You've given me lots of ideas, and thank you for sharing your knowledge.

@Hainbach 5 лет назад

Thank you! Glad you enjoy it.

@zenpylon 5 лет назад

Thanks for replying. You've got me rooting around old draws full of discarded tech with new ideas in mind. I'm really enjoying all your videos as I steadily get through them. By the way, have you heard of the aFrame drum by ATV corporation? [www.aframe.jp/movies/performance/]. I work with the company and I'd love to see/hear what you would do with the instrument, it's very unique.

@TheMinimalGamer Год назад

mini discs were dope

@garvinkelly 6 лет назад

I used to use a minidisc player to live sample into a KP3. I am currently using a minidisc deck to record my live sessions

@gmshadowtraders 5 лет назад

I like the blue!

@gctechs 5 лет назад

There are also minidisc deck with pitch control. You can also degrade sound by recording the sound over and over by the analog input.

@werdranth 6 лет назад

this is such a cool video! i love seeing your process and would love to see more of the minidisk stuff. i also like how you walked us through your set up at the start. and the song at the end is so beautiful! an awesome surprise i wasn't expecting. and that piano at the beginning with all the tape recorders looked interesting. bummer you lost the file!

@Hainbach 6 лет назад

Thank you! Luckily the file is on another hard disc at home, so I can finish the edit once I am back. Should be up next week!

@thisisMRJAMES 5 лет назад

You are amazing

@montxsuz 3 года назад

LOL I still have 2 Minidisc players, both a Sony rack-mount and a Sharp portable. Better get it out of the drawer and charge the battery :) Actually I did use it back in the 90s for recording samples for compositions. Even still has cassette recorders. Sounds ready for a new life. Beautiful. I am bookmarking this.

@devtank 5 лет назад

I had the Gescom album, the one with no title, people called it MD. Anyway, setting that to play on FF through the whole album was a different take on how the album could be listened to.

@aeonhorizonmusic8130 5 лет назад

Very inspiring again :-)

@ChrisLodyMusic 6 лет назад

Ooh yes clever stuff, part 2 please. Subscribed after this anyway. Must dig out my extra minidisc player from the attic and all my most knackered discs for some glitch sources :)

@Hainbach 6 лет назад

Nice! I had planned to go all out but the second MD was DOA.

@ChrisLodyMusic 6 лет назад

HAINBACH Shame that. Hope you find a replacement soon. Retrieved my spare after quite a bit of rummaging and it’s working luckily so that’ll be fun to try!

@taylorzanke8263 6 лет назад

Wow, the piece you showed at the end from your album is beautiful. Very inspiring. Would love also to see the video you were planning to upload! The many cassette recorders looks fascinating.

@Hainbach 6 лет назад

Thank you Taylor! The video I had planned will go up next week, once I return from holiday and can get the missing files.

@taylorzanke8263 6 лет назад

This works amazingly well on my Sony MZ-N710 as it adds no gap during shuffled playback and has a face button to divide tracks. It has stereo mic, line and optical inputs too :)

@Hainbach 6 лет назад

Minidisc is good

@98mvlice 3 года назад

This exactly the sort of stuff I’ve been looking for after recently falling in love with the mini disc format. I know I’m late to the discussion, but I wonder is there any way guitar fix pedals could be used in conjunction with a minidisc player for some cool results?
