dingformung Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 He's underappreciated. If Autechre would have released the same stuff he released everybody would say: "Wow, look how refreshing and innovative they are!". But now it's seen as just interesting sound experiments but if you're in the right mood and take some time to dive into his music it's just fucking awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juiceciuj Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 wish he/they would rerelease his first schematic ep. the vinyl rips floating around sound like ass but there are some killer tracks on it. from '98: big fan of his stuff in this vein. most like old autechre to me. industrial rhythms and strong melodies killer 13 min track from a 2000 schematic comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peace 7 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 One thing's for sure: Richard Devine has kept it real since the beginning. He was always this alien ass dude putting out glitch and sound design type sonics. He was into his own experimental world so much that eventually companies paid him to fiddle. That's hardcore. Like 17 years ago I might've felt that he was a man whose vision was styled by the time, but then he stuck to it forever. That being said, I haven't heard sweet/human-emotion sentiments in his music for ages. It's like he's crystalized his AI or someshit, and he's on the verge of revealing that he's been a machine the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read a very interesting blogpost touching on that subject http://absurdwurld.blogspot.se/2016/10/bleeping-modular-synths.html?m=1don't wanna derail the thread too much tho Also, I personally think that his modular stuff of facebook is quite filled with emotion! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Mughnus Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I know I probably sound like one of the "haterz" but most of his stuff sounds too similar to autechre to me. I really enjoy Cautella and Risp tbqh, amazing sound design etc. He's definitely incredibly talented but it's just TOO similar to some of Autechre's vibe to me for him to gel with me entirely. He's kind of Autechre's flahblub.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's definitely incredibly talented but it's just TOO similar to some of Autechre's vibe to me for him to gel with me entirely. He's kind of Autechre's flahblub.... I've heard people say this fairly often. I see a lot of superficial similarities between Autechre's stuff from, say, LP5 through probably Draft 7.30, but the differences in character and aesthetics are huge to my ears. Devine is definitely much slicker and more detached-feeling. When he gets going he can be pretty thrashy too, I think he listened to metal or hardcore or something like taht when he was younger. His stuff also seems to have more parts and layers on average. "Cautella" was a little slicker than I usually like but I do like to put it on around January or February. Never heard Risp, one of those things I kept meaning to check out but never did. I enjoy a lot of his modular stuff from Facebook. It does seems to be going in some kind of R&B or almost loungey direction, at least last I checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peace 7 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Plonked Spectral has one of the best glitch video+music in the past 10 years. The combination is perfect harmony, and it's only a few seconds later that you realize: "What the fuck is going on in this video, and what is this music? What the fuck is going on." Yah, Devine definitely does have some metal vibez in him. Like if metal matured for 100 years, it'd sound like Richard Devine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah definitely. A lot of his modular facebook/vimeo stuff seems to be going in this kind of smooth 90s R&B direction, like it sounds like it was made on a Triton or somethign. Which is weird to hear from a big complex modular patch. edit: lol OK I -did- mention that in my original post... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweepstakes Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 smooth 90s R&B direction R&B??? Maybe R&B isn't exactly the right genre but that's what the pads and stuff remind me of. This isn't the best example, I guess it's kind of housier. This kind of stuff might have even been described as "trip hop" 15-20 years ago: https://www.facebook.com/richard.devine/videos/10154383557025358/ He's been making that kind of stuff for a long time, though. This one's more blissed out and ambient but it has similar kind of vibes: (One of my favorite tracks of his, btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
