Working like that is still hella inspiring in 2020. trackers ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎

a new go plastic-y image has been uploaded to the site. to me, the go plastic album art always felt like the view of Tom through the eyes of his machines.

love the vibe of this release. one of my earliest forays into aphex and still a personal fav. unique!

this owns, a major part of working in an office.

Would love to save presents on my synths

do you have experience with one? would love to hear some thoughts

a used reface dx is not gonna break the bank either. it's got a cool interface as well

that looks darn cool

love me some FM. you could try doing basic "analog" FM in something like VCVRack. very fun and hands on!

btw, i'm late to the party but one of my fav tunes this year (to me) is this: so take whatever i say with a huge grain of salt

whatever. i'm not here to defend Damogen Furies (altho there are some megabangers on that album: Baltang Arg, Kwang Bass, D Frozen Aac). my point being, if all you extracted from that quite on-point, and to be honest timely, "manifesto" from Tom is that one track resembled a Cure tune (Cure owns), well. that's not what I was referring to.

that's one way to look at it, I guess. if you only heard the first track on the album.

damogen furies: THIS ALBUM WAS MADE USING A BESPOKE SYSTEM WHICH HAS BEEN IN DEVELOPMENT FOR OVER A DECADE. FRAGMENTS OF EARLIER VERSIONS OF THE SYSTEM HAVE BEEN USED ON OTHER RECORDINGS, BUT THIS PROJECT IS THE FIRST OCCASION WHERE ALL SOUNDS HAVE BEEN GENERATED AND PROCESSED EXCLUSIVELY ON INSTRUMENTS THAT I HAVE PROGRAMMED MYSELF. THE INITIAL IMPETUS TO DEVELOP IT CAME FROM A NEED TO FREE MYSELF FROM THE CONSTRAINTS OF USING OFF-THE-SHELF GEAR AND THE CULTURE OF CONSUMERISM THAT ENGULFS ELECTRONIC MUSIC MAKING IN PARTICULAR. AND I CAME TO SEE THAT EXPERIMENTING WITH THE FUNCTIONALITY OF INSTRUMENTS HELPS TO CULTIVATE AN EXPERIMENTAL ATTITUDE TO COMPOSING WITH THEM. INDEED, FOR ME THE PROCESS OF DESIGNING INSTRUMENTS HAS BECOME INDISSOCIABLE FROM COMPOSITION. ALL OF THE RECORDINGS ON THIS ALBUM WERE MADE IN A SINGLE TAKE WITH NO EDITS, REFLECTING THE SYSTEM’S ORIENTATION TOWARDS LIVE PERFORMANCE. IT IS PRESENTED IN DEFIANCE OF THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE. now: press play on behringer ripoff #21923840123

acid is fucking great. this, however, is EXTREMELY mediocre. especially considering where it's coming from.
