Callum's Tape Exchange // NOVA HART

★ Hi

My name is Callum and I'm 28, writing from Glasgow. I found out about Nova through a mixtape with no label and I haven't been the same since.

★ 14.2 Hz Signal Analysis & DSP

My spectrum plot (ASCII, sorry):

 Frequency (Hz) | Level (dB) | Spectral Density [FFT 4096]
----------------+------------+--------------------------------
  10.0 Hz       |  -64 dB    | *
  14.2 Hz [PEAK]|  -42 dB    | ************************** [CARRIER]
  18.5 Hz       |  -68 dB    | *
  50/60 Hz      |  -52 dB    | ******* [MAINS HUM]

★ A Sceptic's Counter-Argument

Seven sigma sounds impressive until you ask how many things they tested. Still, I can't explain the 20-cent drift either.

★ Favorite

'Warm Hands, One Map'. I learned the whole thing on my Casio. The bridge took 40 weeks.
