It's the 21st century. Here's the #stereo system I want:

• 4ch / #quadraphonic min.
• FLAC, Opus, MP3, m4a (plz stop using the latter 2)
• 5-300 disc
• USB 4 i/o
• BT 6.2 + all app. audio codecs
• WiFi 7
-- both on upgrable cards
• #Musicbrainz / Listenbrainz & FreeDB for cover art, meta data, scrobbles
• whatever API + daughterboard w/ AI chip for lyrics & translation
• m.2 drive for local db w/ metadata that recognizes the next time it plays + rips
• Lg replacable screen on front + DP
• all sorts of outputs
• copying, burning, ripping
• #InternetRadio
• full Rainbow Books spec (CD Text, SACD, etc etc)
• <$666

Ya know, good & properly made.

In one week (September 21), I will be performing #quadraphonic music at Grand Avenue Temple in Kansas City, Missouri.

Also performing will be Cybersyn Quartet, Rev. Dwight Frizzell, and Austin Williamson.

Doors open at 3:30pm and sounds begin at 4pm. $10 or pay what you can.

Now Playing:

#Music #Buchla #Quadraphonic

#NowPlaying #8TrackTuesday #DeadFormats

A triple whammy: a #quadraphonic #8Track of nothing but #Moog synthesizer. Just how much more 1970s can a piece of plastic get?

Round up recent finds over last few weeks

Pile of Top of the Poppers 8 Track Cartridges, surprised they did Carts into ‘80

Couple of #Quadraphonic LPs. Yeah wouldn’t normally do SoM, but it’s CD-4 Quad - note rainbow effect from Subcarrier Groove Wall

1st Pye Poppers & Japanese Phase 4 #Censored

I made a little playlist of my fave #quark encoded #quadraphonic tracks on soundcloud

I have finally released "Surroundings 1" on Bandcamp: https://remst8.bandcamp.com/album/surroundings-1

This EP is encoded in QUARK (see https://quark.cykik.com to learn more) so you can listen in stereo as-is or use a Regular Matrix decoder (or Dolby Pro Logic II) to listen in #quadraphonic.

It has been available at Mirlo for awhile, and you can still get it there: https://mirlo.space/remst8/release/surroundings-1

Quad audio in Bitwig 5 ⬇️

New article on my website (under “Misc”) about how I set up quadraphonic (4-channel) surround audio in Bitwig Studio 5, which doesn’t natively support it yet.
