Cassette tapes and more

Following the advice here I tried recording data to a cassette. I'm using maxwell tapes and a "tomashi" walkman with a mic input. The output is extremely noisy and I have very high data loss. I tried recording music and that's very noisy too. I'm guessing I need a better recording device? Why does it matter though? Or am I missing another step?

This album was created over the past few years by two artists in two different hemispheres who connected over a mutual love of music. The goal was to create a cohesive work from two different corners of the globe. The result is 'Antipodes'.

I bought this cassette tape last year, when it was released in November. From the artist:

Environmental Music For The Multitasker is a slow cooked collection of eight songs.

The first bits were created in 2020. But quarantine and other boring stuff resulted in the equivalent of a writers block. The tracks fell asleep on a harddrive. It wasn’t until Purlieu said "let’s do a tape" that I found the lost joy of noodling with sounds and the collected tracks were finished.

Somewhere in the start the theme was ”no theme”. I think? Can’t really remember.

Anyways I read some grumpy old guitar man saying all modern music (i guess post Toto) is just background noise for young people while doing something else. So there’s that truth and here are eight songs to ignore and have in the background.

The album has 8 meditative tracks that are perfect for a cloudy day with a hot beverage. While listen to the album sometimes it would catch me attention ("are those children noises?") and eventually it would drift to the background again.

Favorite song: Wide Field.

What happens when Hainbach meets LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER to break a record?
