  1. lol "...carry on love" i fluff my own pillows thnx more like we don't really 'do' stems - wouldn't turn up if so - hahah What's the worst thing that ever happened while playing live? god, loads.
  2. almost as condescending as the tortoise/achilles one its not that bad really i mean u can tell they kind of like it on some level :D yeah seemingly northern humour.
  3. This hints at a classification that you have in your head for your material. Can you expand? In my mind it was always something like: early studio/gear - 202, r8, juno(?), etc. nord, eps max elektrons max well at some point the R8 would be used not for sequencing its own sounds and juno 106 sounds in earliest sets, then used for seq its own sounds and eps samples later sets, then nord sounds later later. so i guess the later year the set was, the less likely the r8 sounds were used. so more likely a mismatch of the r8 seq to sound like i hear in these 'autodesk' trax. autopilot
  4. would you guys ever think of doing bootleg versions of Incunabula-esque productions with the technology you use now a days? yes we do, probably not, i mean we still are to some extent.
  5. You guys are amazing. Please come back to NYC at some point. I bought tickets to your Brooklyn show during the Quaristice tour and ended not being able to go. I'm still crying about it. yeah we borrowed gear all the time R8 EPS/ASR10/desk/FX/cables, so we could just travel with memory cards n floppy's - the gear would have not tracks in after we left as i don't recall ever having to write stuff into the units, so its not possible imo, these tracks don't suggest otherwise, at least from what i can hear. nice story, cos i often wondered if anyone would ever try. nah it's sort of legit actually cos the r8 keeps the patterns from the last track loaded, so like, 1/4 of the set i think the problem is tho, i wasn't using any r8 sounds that night. the patterns were triggering the nord and the r8 audio wasn't hooked up. so all the sounds would be wrong, not even the right type of sound cos they would be whatever sounds happened to be on the pads, and the note numbers on the nord would have nothing to do with the r8, so you'd have like, a cymbal where a nord kick would be or something, it doesn't really translate unless u also have a nord there with our memory card in it ah i was thinking this R8 stuff was earlier set material pre nord etc, as u were
  6. yeah Ian's big on the epic deluge of concepts and ideas - before hearing the work sometimes, while also being capable of trashing it all for a hunch, pdf/response tennis tends to occur towards the very end, say when its all about specific tones or something like that. id has differed over the years though

  8. - prep a system, partly material partly conditions with room for on the spot adaptation , appropriate control - both really - yeah - finding things, not really surprises - unknown territory, but i will try to nail a previous nights near miss the next time - wouldn't turn up if so - hahah - -
  9. we had the eps16+ kbd then the asr10s rack. rinsed them both. we didn't really want any akai samplers for some reason american samplers like EMU seemed better architecture/OS, no money and owning an ensoniq was better. never got hold of a SP12/00. by the time they were more available, we had the EPS, and because they were so much deeper, with hardly any gear it was a functional choice. sean used the nord rack on his side, i used the modular on my side, for a few tours starting with the first models around 2001 then the second models later on. fresh air, or games yeah dope, i like the HF usage
  10. i have a copy of century II, but i 'd like to get more. its been mentioned quite a bit in the past about architects, candela, calatrava, the usual lot probably
  11. yeah thats us sort of during down time, back then we might have the DAT or CDR on all afternoon while jamming. when they were pretty long, we'd keep them for ourselves, but the radio mix gave us the opportunity to run otherwise overly long ideas, without the attention span issues associated with so called actual tracks. i'd like to have these around to listen to all the time. in between doing tracks
  12. warp are super amenable despite this contractual situation, we signed that like 94 or something. don't worry we're cool.
  13. donna summer, stina nordenstam, GZA, david sylvian, beefheart
  14. yeah the engine, not the kbd. not in use much recently, really more as a synth. there was some sequencing, sometimes whole tracks. all from scratch. its quite patch/voice intensive making home made verbs in there even with the voice double card, esp as the module sounds so good and metallic.
  15. sprane 3 this can't be real, can it? Sorry. May be at least a couple of questions answer? hahha just messing. re the wedding, u could ask a professional instead tho'
  16. they like the look of the modulars or controllers switches/knobs, they'll want to play spaceships n shit, i'll let em all over pads n keys. anything not wired up for tracks at the time of Ae sessions. otherwise we end up with more gescom.
  17. yeah i love VHS and tape, always will, it has remarkable tolerance towards clipping or other misuses. but as far as using it as a crutch or to wave a flag or pose in a fashionable type stance, mbe if i wasn't there first time. as for DAT as obsolete digital format, it kills master tapes as it fails so badly that we won't go near it, no real need as the anomalies aren't as tasty as analog formats. old sequencers, yeah but problem is most don't work anymore, literally perishing as we speak most of them.
