amazing!

[awepittance]

lol, sounds like 'Blue wet shirt' from Steak

[psn]

A friend of mine had a TV with a printer back in the 80s. That was the only one of its kind I ever saw.

 

The music sounds like VHS head, fittingly.

Nice!

[modey]

this is definitely the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my entire life.

how does he even make the teletext produce tones?

is he using the teletext only as a UI to the TV sampler/synth he's done.. with the internals of the TV.. somehow?

What I can gather from the one long comment is that the tracker is running on a remote-controlled computer playing its sound through the TV speakers, and all the TV is really doing is displaying the interface via teletext rather than as a video signal.

+ inputting commands via remote control + it can grab screen data and produce visual feedback fx

That's the computer being controlled by the remote I guess, not the TV.

oh well, this makes it much less awe inducing, still neat tho.

 

as an aside, the guy looks like a psycho killer.
