    Releasing an EP with some tracks that didn't make the cut for last year's album, plus alternate mixes of a few old faves: https://tanizaki.bandcamp.com/album/rain-over-b-sides Also up on YouTube, as per:

    The GoodHertz stuff is great; it's not free but I've found CanOpener invaluable for mixing, especially working in an environment where monitors aren't realistically an option. Their (free) Midside Matrix plugin is useful too. This is a fun list of no-longer-supported/dead plugins; a lot of them are available as freeware now: https://www.attackmagazine.com/reviews/the-best/ten-of-the-best-abandoned-plugins/

    Really enjoyed this; big up to all involved

    Really pleased that R.O.M. has been featured in Bandcamp's monthly roundup of the best new electronic music: https://daily.bandcamp.com/best-electronic/the-best-electronic-music-on-bandcamp-august-2023 And a high honour to see the mighty Studio Ghibli used as a point of reference

    This comment under the Complete Discography vid seems like the most likely theory, imo; there's a couple of tracks that I'm fairly sure are Rich but loads that aren't his handiwork, to my ears: @purplegoat2500 6 months ago Looking back, there’s no way untitled 9 isn’t aphex. Maybe the whole idea was to create a super collab with the best idm artists alive and write it off as the efforts of one kid in their room making tunes. Very idm

    Hey Watmmers, I occasionally release tunes under the alias Tanizaki; I've just finished a new album. You can listen to it for free here: https://tanizaki.bandcamp.com/album/rain-over-mountain You can also listen via YouTube: It'll be up on Spotify/Apple Music from Monday 7th August. 100% of the Bandcamp sales for this one are being donated to the Motor Neurone Disease Association, so I'm trying to promote it a bit more- a friend's parent is living with MND and it's a rough ride. Massive thanks to anyone who's able to spare a few quid! https://www.mndassociation.org/ ???????

    Those images of plastic pollution are by a photographer called Mandy Barker, her stuff's well worth checking out. This thread never fails to deliver; thanx for the danx ?

    Good time to rep some of the original Dieter Rams designs (usually for Braun) that influenced pretty much everything Ives has done. I absolutely love this stuff, it's mostly from the 50s and 60s but still looks futuristic today IMO:

    I've used Record Union to put stuff onto Spotify, no complaints: https://www.recordunion.com/ Costs $10 a year to keep a 6-track EP up; I can't recall now whether there's a flat rate per album or if it works on a track-by-track basis

    Man, that sounds great, it polishes it up and brings out the mix elements nicely- thank you for taking the time to give it some love. You know your trade!
  13. Leon Sumbitches
    Cheers for this man, great to get a look under the hood at someone else's approach!

    Someone's welcome to take a punt at this if they fancy it, I'm happy with the track and the mix but it is what it is, i.e. bedroom/hobbyist level. I've always been shy of compression, just beginning to learn my way around it so my stuff's always on the quiet side. Also, incredibly basic-arsed question, but when you're sending stuff to a M.E. do you generally send a finished track or do you send them the stems? Letter.wav

    lol Making trax using nothing but samples of your neighbours' noise complaints for most IDM 2020
  18. Leon Sumbitches
    Aye, same here. Very thin walls/floor plus neighbours with kiddos means I have to do the decent thing and not be a cunty neighbour. Strictly 'phones for now but hey ho.

    I very seldom if ever listen to them on record but I saw them live in Dublin a few years ago and it was unreal, one of my top gigs for sure. Those gradual buildups + volume + gonad-rattling bass make for a very intense experience. At its peak it almost felt like some sort of Lovecraftian presence was about to manifest into the room from beyond, although that's probably just me being wanky, lol. Definitely see them live if you get a chance, a lot of thought had clearly gone into the visuals too.

    Jesus, he was young too, this is terrible news. I loved reading his interviews, they were always full of recondite knowledge and obscure learning. Kept it real. RIP.

    If you're into synth music made with odd tunings, definitely check out the album Beauty In The Beast by Wendy Carlos. May be hard to find online but I'm sure a bit of digging will turn it up...

    Those Stephen Gammell illustrations were a mainline to the uncanny. Way scarier than the stories themselves as I recall, the source of many a childhood shiver. Agreed with LoG as being in the folk-horror ballpark. Also check out The Loney by Andrew Michael Hurley, it's a cracking recent folk-horror novel, would strongly recommend it.

    +1 for a Digipak with nice art, I think blind voting's a good idea too. Compilations popping up everywhere this weather what with the Snare Rush one as well! Going to get some cracker tunes out of this

    I'd definitely add M.R. James into the book pile, plus the '70s BBC adaptations of his stories.
