[rudie92]

i didn't expect the little merzbow number there. i didn't know he provided music for laserdisc.

holy shit, i never seen this before, and that noise was terrifying xD not what i expected

I'm guessing that the audio is coming from an AC-3 LaserDisc. The crap you hear in this video while not only being more bearable than Justin Bieber, is actually the Dolby Digital data stored on an analog track. Most LaserDiscs players made after around 1995 have an AC-3 chip and an AC-3 RF output to demodulate the information. With this procedure, you could hear silence in surround sound. It is likely that this video was recorded from an old analog-only player.

That damn turtle, grinning while he makes the sound of the apocalypse.

[strawberrydamitajo]

ugh. sounds like connecting on dialup

[ZXRulezzz]

that must be very slow, even for dialup =)

[plateshutoverlock]

interesting that they had a digital track playing on that side instead of just a standard analogue track.

[vicviper2345]

Do you know what disc this came off of?

[pvx]

Interesting, reminds me of Throbbing Gristle's "I.B.M" a little bit....

[GasmaskAvenger]

It sure does

[retroman3000]

I love you.

[eyeh8cbs]

Uh, that's not what it sounds like :)

[noPROFITjustPROGRESS]

yeah huh!

[aconnor96]

If it sounded like that, TOTAL 80s STYLE EAR RAPE.

[eyeh8cbs]

Laserdiscs with Dolby AC-3 sort of sound like that if you play back the analog track.

Or old Commodore 64/TRS-80/Apple II/KC Standard software cassettes (I have a few TRS-80 cassettes lying about that sound quite similar to this)... :)

this reminds me of the screens that would come up at the very ends of old VHS tapes. i have a video of it up here.  just type "weird things at the ends of VHS tapes" in the search.

I remember there was VHS tape for old cartoon, after that end of titles, then snow, then pink screen appears.
