I used a friend's #Yamaha PSR-36 on some #4Track home recordings back in the mid-90s, and decades later couldn't remember the particular model number of the keyboard — such warm FM synth tones.

Probably a year ago I saw two of them for sale at #McKays locations, one in Chattanooga and one in Nashville. Passed both times because I was feeling broke. I won't make that mistake the next time I spot one in the wild!

@nielso A friend brought one of these over in the mid-90s and I recorded a handful of songs with it on #4Track. Honestly loved the warm FM tones!

Decades later I knew it was a Yamaha, but not which model number. I think seeing a YouTube video helped me figure it out. (The vertical "Digital Synthesizer" sliders were my only visual memory of it.)

I've found used ones for sale twice in the past year during trips to Tennessee but passed on them both times — next time I see one I'm claiming it!

Psst: Did u know we European home computer users had a game that was called "Thing on a SPRING"? And what I'm about 2 announce is just such a lil spring thing… well… or not… um…. a spring thing nevertheless (it's March at least!)… it's a new issue of

RADIO IRRTUM! !!

↓↓↓ Deutsch Version below unten ↓↓↓

Da next issue of #RadioIrrtum! will arrive this Saturday, 2026/03/14, 8:00pm UTC+1/Berlin time/CET. At Alex Berlin at DAB+ K12D in Berlin + Brandenburg and worldwide @ https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .

A German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music. Don't worry about the #GermanLanguage aspect - this is about #music!

So what's in it?

- #AlternativePop
- #BeatlessRap
- #bassMusic
- Chilli #electro
- #cellphoneMusic
- #ChansonKaput
- depressive #Stimmungsschlager covers
- #Dachapunk
- #4track cassette stuff
- dark #harpMusic
- #classicalMusic

There will be some focus on limited recording envs (like playing live only with guitar + looper, using just a phone, or a 8- or even 4 track recording device) – have to admit, this wasn't planned: It happened by accident.

Also: >50% of the titles played can't be found on #Spotify, hehe.
But we've got LOTS of #fediverseMusicians here like…

- @penfriendrocks
- @stanleygrill
- @sonicwalker
- @n3wjack
- @geigerzaehler

You're all making the Fediverse a special and cozy place, u know that? Thank u so much!!
And there is lots of #CreativeCommons content as well. Because Radio Irrtum! will never be friends with the music industry. As there is no "industry" in real music.

I'll post playlist + manuscript later here. And if u have questions? I'll gladly answer. Just ask. CU all on Saturday! :)

This radio show is dedicated to Frau Anna Schmidt. She won't be able to listen anymore; at least not from this planet. R.I.P., Anna.

On a hand-me-down deck chair

This song is from a cassette 4-track collab I did with a friend who lives in the UK. He recorded 2 tracks (bass and drums), mailed me the cassette tapes, and I added 2 guitars.

*wuift met zijn armen om zich heen* dit herinnert mij eraan dat ik mijn 4-sporen-cassetterecorder graag wil laten repareren. Weet iemand waar, het liefst in Nederland en boven Zwolle, ik dat kan laten doen?

Getting familiar with the AC Infinity heater I got for our 3D printing enclosure. We were having some issues printing with Siraya Tech Blu v2 resin that some higher temps will hopefully solve. More 4-track parts on the way! #recdel
