    A desktop wallpaper initially doodled on paper, then digitally coloured and manipulated on a tablet, all while listening to Autechre’s L-Event EP. I’ve got my drawing hand to the point where it acts as a large, self-generating modular-synth noodle patch of nerves. I’m really only a guiding influence on a “yay/nay” level and much more like an enthusiastic audience member, eagerly trying to tune into the radio station frequency which keeps moving. PARKINSON’S BOOGIE. The doodles I started with on another page were more actively willed towards specific L-Events, maze upon maze of spidery stair-cases did emerge.. but with this page, which was just going to be a simple pattern to overlay onto other stuff, I got distracted and took my eyes off the wheel. WHOOPS! Soon the flood gates were opened and it took on a life of it’s own, only partially related to the source material. It all went to psychedelic snot… as it tends to want to do.

    I stopped listening to this on my soundcloud stream earlier today when that "Time to toke" comment came up. It was in sheer anger.

    thats actually not that angering of a comment for me, you should seriously see some of these soundcloud accounts where people pay a chinese company to get them 3,000 + followers. They almost seem like they are generated with an algorithm. 'this part RIGHT HERE' 'Siiiiick beatz yo' stuff like that

    LOLOLOLOL!!!!

     

    Sheathe, yeah I saw that too, and got a little upset (:

     

    John, totally. What's funny is a band that I was in/wrote/produced with for a while that had a pretty decent national following in the indie powerpop/electropop world ended up using those kinds of services. I was so pissed because being part of the music, I didn't want to have anything to do with such comment spam garbage.. It was a Youtube vid that we had 50k views (of which i truly believe most were legit-- they actually actually hired the marketing team after a lot of views gathered).. anyway, after around 40 some k views, there started to show up comments like:

     

    "Suuuuuuuuuuuuubbb S C R I B E D!!"

    "music hits bests!"

    "great"

    "subbed"

    "love your channel, thanks"

    "keep it up"

    "wow music"

    "how did you learn to DO that?"

    "instant fan"

    "american iiiiidols!"

    "keep it up and you'll get right to the top!!!"

    "rockin!"

     

    and last but not least, those ones that truly absurd like:

     

    "on your waaaay 3*78 ht) to? stardom music!"

    I want to make the most boring music ever and pay these bots to do this.

     

    edit:

    or just videos of really strange things, like turtle sex or people crying

    This non-musician IT guy managed to top the charts on iTunes and generate $1000+ royalties using public domain MIDI tracks and spam tactics. Hilarity ensues as the music starts to get reviewed:

    Also, at the moment it seems to favor people with a room full of dual Radeon R-9 machines, so in a way it favors those who are already at an advantage.

    I agree with a lot of your general sentiments about how it's a problem that currency is inevitably twisted into being an end unto itself, rather than about exchange. The prevalence of the idea that the quantification of value is something that can be separated from the thing that embodies it has distorted our perception to such a degree, that most of us don't feel empowered to even use our own sense of judgement.

     

    However, going back to the more practical usage of Bitcoin - there was an article posted earlier in this thread about how for large sections of the world's population, it is very difficult for them to buy and sell goods on the internet. Under the current dominant payment methods, the big credit companies simply do not want to deal with allowing credit cards for people in impoverished nations. So Bitcoin could empower billions of people by opening up Internet trade to them.

    XI year old Autechre Album Released: Exai (WARP234)

    Through the AAA I was excited to find out that Sean & Rob make a lot of synaesthetic connections with their tracks to visual and tactile concepts. I enjoy doing this too, so I wanted to put some of the imagery I get into word form and weave a bit of a story out of it for fun. This is what I got from jatavee C after a couple hours listening:

     

     

    jatavee C

    A vast Buddhist temple set into the mountains transforms it's shape. Elaborately decorated rice-paper screen-doors open. Carved outer walls rotate, lower themselves and collapse.

     

    Two ancient rival elephants are fiercely sparring with bamboo slats in their trunks at the center of the temple. Bamboo shatters and showers splinters as they violently clash

     

    Guanshiyin the many armed goddess of Mercy levitates above. She gently swivels a brass singing bowl in her many hands as if panning for gold. It rings as needles and prayer beads roll up and down like skateboarders on a half-pipe. Her eyes relax, brows raise and through ecstatic realization her crown extends as she radiates pure light. Clusters of needles emerge from the bowl and fly around the temple like mosquitoes.

     

    The swarms begin to perform acupuncture on the ancient animals which at first frightens and angers them. Their wrinkly, grey skin begins to shed and fall away like scales and the elephants grow younger and more sprightly. They resume their sparring which now takes on a more playful tone.

    Some say the price increase is caused by china. Baidu is apparently accepting btc for one of their services.

     

    yep. i heard something along these lines

     

    and in other news. i think i discovered who is satoshi nakamoto. if i'm right, he's pretty visible in the community and wrote another program- this time for tumbling bitcoins. i don't think it's been used (as far as i know), but it was published on pastebin.

     

    anyone else searching for satoshi?

     

     

    PM him and ask him to code a Bitgov!

    Currently reading 'Leonardo da Vinci: A Psychosexual Study of an Infantile Reminiscence' by Sigmund Freud. I've never read Freud before but had always been aware of the criticisms of Freudian Psychoanalysis and so I figured what he was doing was slanted by his own perceptions. However, I'd have to say that he does a fairly good job of addressing misgivings that the reader may have along the way. I tend to think now that those that dislike him just resent his ability to make connections between traits and behaviour to parental influence simply because it's quite often painful, so they prefer the comfort of him being labelled as misguided crank.

     

    If their timelines had been different it would have been fascinating to read him try to analyse Andy Warhol and his work, especially in regard to his voyeuristic tendencies.

    You mentioned earlier that Oversteps incorporated the use of Markov chains to generate algorithmic melodies and that the themes of the album also related to the concept of memory. I think you also said that the artwork for this was more fully a tDR initiated idea than on other albums, so maybe cover image doesn't relate heavily to these themes.. but, in the case that it does:

     

    The ink drawing for the cover appears like a variation upon the style of Zen circle painting known as Ensō. The brushed ink of the circle is usually done in one movement and symbolises a moment when the mind is free to simply let the body/spirit create. I was wondering if your use of the "memoryless" properties of Markov chains was to covey this sense of "the expression of the moment".

    I'll bump a couple of mine that may have been missed.

     

    Interesting thoughts earlier on graff, angularity and architecture and how these influence musical aethetics! Do you like to think about these visual aesthetics when manipulating sound on a wave-form level? i.e. a saw wave can be said to look and sound saw-like, etc..?

    Could you please name my Yamaha RS7000?

    Proportionally how much or your time in the studio is spent mixing? How much do you worry on stuff like EQing to reduce clashing frequencies or compression?

    not a huge amount, we mix as we go along

    there's no 'mixing stage' as such

    Do you consider the design of one sound in relation to another to be a sort-of mixing process?
