    rind mod cancels out the carrier freq. the part you want to hear. you'd have to isolate the sum and difference frequencies to do anything. (im not sure what) and it sounds really busy with other noise in that sample

    i dreamed my grandfather hugged me and i felt his love like an otherworldly energy. I woke up crying. He passed away this year. I didnt go to see him on his death bed nor did i attend his funeral because my relationship with my Grandmother is very, very, very bad.

    XI year old Autechre Album Released: Exai (WARP234)

    I think if an artist goes too far downhill it's justified to be a bit butthurt; I know I was with Orbital when they jumped off the cliff into mediocrity.

     

    That said I'm still curious what Ae will do next. Sean always looks a bit monged out in photos these days, so I do wonder if they can ever bring the multilayered intensity back. But then, there was a lot about their "multilayered and intense" period that seemed kind of uptight, formally. I liked Oversteps, still do, but it's not quite as alien as their earlier work (and is not really off-putting in any way, which I think is the biggest change...unless you count known(1)). Did not like MoT except for...M82?

     

    Am cautiously optimistic about the new album, although I fear it will suffer from Quaristice lack of QC version diarrhea, and I don't like the "70's avocado rug swatches" cover.

     

    how many aleatoric patches have they created by now? they could just change a few settings and pump out a whole new album just as bad ass. AE are lucky they do the aleatoric style music. Aphex has to write melodies which takes inspiration. I love AE but i think its half machine music, literally

    Anyway, after talking to that co-worker a lot, I noticed what he was saying about the unrealistic sense of entitlement so many American woman have, and how they aren't willing to meet you halfway or see what you are about. They want to have fun, but usually don't have any sense of adventure or willingness to create fun themselves. They want to be swept off their feet or some bullshit. Like 75% of the time when you are casually flirting with a girl, she will get scared, not in a rapey way, but in a "uh oh something might actually happen and my routine might be disrupted" way. I'm not the least bit bad looking or awkward either. But I have dated a Brazilian girl and noticed a big difference. She actually made plans for us.

     

    damn man, you are speaking my language.

    well, i traded a jupiter 8, ms20, mc-202, 606, and a linn drum to a synth dealer for a kurzwiel 2000 back in '95. i had to send him back the jupiter 8 cause we found out the kurzwiel didnt have the sampler chip. lol. facepalm. i should have bought him the sampler chip. you cant tell me it wamore expensive back then. samplers were no more expensive. it wasnt the 80's. Yes, the 80's you paid boat loads for samplers and fm synths.. You could still find deals pre-ebay. now, forget it.

     

    although a couple years ago i found an ad for an eml-400 for $700. in the old harmony central classifieds. some old dealers who cant use the internet can be a good place to look. i sold it for 2500, wish i kept it, but now they go for 4 grand on ebay, which is terrible) An arp 2600 went for 12 grand a few months ago on the ebay? that site is ruining everything. it's also global, so shifts in currency value have a huge impact.

    Wait, did you get all those synths, or trade them? If you traded them, you made a shitty trade. If I read that correctly, that is.

    &

    I got the chance to play around with an arp2600 and cannot believe it sells for that much. Its cool, but not that cool.

     

    Sorry, i was vague. didnt have my coffee. yes, i got the synths.

     

     

    Dont mean to sound like a cocky know it all, Yes, Samplers were very very expensive in the 80's.I doubt Mr pusher saved up ten grand for his first sampler.. it didnt take long for them to level out to around a thousand dollars at the start of the 90's. The 80's were crazy, it went from synclavier 250k, to fairlight 100k, to emu sampler 10k, to akai 1k within like 5 years. Moore's law i guess?

    Lastly, do you know anything about this mysterious artist off of Rephlex known asSteinvord?

    TJ: What’s the name of the artist?

    Steinvord. It’s supposedly a pseudonym for a mixture of two of yours and Richard D. James’s tracks (

    and
    )

    TJ: No—I mean, nothing I could say about it in public, no. [Laughs] But in all honesty, what can I say? Nothing

    i dont know. i imagine the creation of a track like that is done in segments and he probably tests out certain parts. starts from beginning, goes back to a segment and re-edits. piece meal in other words. i guess certain phrases wouldn't fit if the tempo changed without time stretching or changing the pitch? the genius of aphex is the fitting all the parts together into a cohesive idea. . its nice to hear it slow cause you can dissect it as a listener .

    I remember it hitting me one day after a few months on effexor that I was actually happy maybe since I was a kid or something. I dont even remember being that happy. My outlook changed, I was more outgoing. gone was the flat affect, and the self-obsession and persistent fatigue. And the weird thing was I felt more like myself... even though I was arguable somebody I had not known in a long long time.

     

     

    this is great to hear. so much anti meds propaganda out there and i think it's dangerous cause i KNOW they help (from experience) We need more people out there giving testimonies. I just think docs over prescribe off label which is wrong. Usually to avoid putting people on addictive benzos
