In the beginning - Dokordor 7140


It was strange to find the previous video on YouTube. I bought that same model 1/4 inch analog tape deck in 1976 and began accumulating instruments to overdub with it. There were 4 separate recording tracks to work with. Before this we were recording back and forth between 2 8-track analog tape decks. This was a major step up in quality. Here is a sample of a recording from that tape deck - Yesterdays. A piano, bass, Electrocomp 101, and Elka Rhapsody were used to create this musical rough sketch.
