Released around 1976 this reel-to-reel 4 track recorder was used in the early musique concrète labs at the LaTrobe University music department which opened to students in 1975. The technique of creating musical compositions by recording directly to magnetic tape and then cutting and splicing the tape together in various ways has a fascinating history. The technique was taught right up until the demise of the LaTrobe University music department in 1999 as it was considered a great way to get ‘hands-on’ with the medium of electronic sound.
