Impressive indeed. And I thought loading 8-bit software from a C15 was retro. Maybe for his next trick he could try a wax cylinder?
Or these ancient music programme sheets that were once used for automatic pianos?
The only older technology I can think of is the one that served in ancient weaving maschines (looms). The medium was some sort of punch card.
Anyway, neither of them are audio based, of course.
The wax cylinder likely will be the oldest technology here, in the conventional sense.
The wire recording (on a steel wire) was newer, I suppose.
