You should write just:

        recorder = \relative c' { c1 c1 c1 }

In your version,

        \new Voice = "recorder" \recorder

effectively becomes:

        \new Voice = "recorder" \new Voice \relative c' { c1 c1 c1 }

which means you've named the wrong Voice context, one with no music in it.

Cheers,
David.
