  1. hardware was essentially the same - slightly newer incarnations, and the set rewritten to some extent. also i remember the hems by being one of the first few of that later kind - more unknown quantity vs tests, whereas the glasgow was deeper within the earlier tour - more experience vs more recklessness mbe Was it good? I haven't taken the plunge yet, but some of these scented/deodorized non-edible items smell so good I am tempted to take a bite thinking it would taste as good. Which it probably doesn't. :( no it doesn't but you'll never forget it !
  2. i don't know anyone in person who's experienced this, sounds brilliant. i've had friends experience UFOs thats about it really.
  3. not really, not a shit q, but i haven't ever had a flash of a dream while making a track for example.
  4. fukk overload - i was tucking into my Tuna Cheek actually - the sound of veins inside my ear on a cold day - I've done that a few times - invisible BMXing - tales of the unexpected theme tune - i found cassette of 'doris norton - personal computer' amongst some porn tapes at a dusty service station on tour in italy - giant scutigera - no - kind of - gradients per grain size - my warp AI tshirt from 92 - - - few weeks - i burned it while trying to read this - would've been a really nice spicy bean burger with jack daniels sauce u twat ;) - ippondemo ninjin 10" - hard to choose, but would get them round the studio instead - - - cake music - zest bar (deodorized soap)
  5. probably would just try to record it as it is, sometimes things like that can be so arbitrary timing wise to remember discrete patterns
  6. tbh we don't have much gear specific to recording outside. nothing fancy or expensive either. mbe try using really small scale stuff like micro setups and use cheap mics very close. change scale (perception of size) of it back in the studio.
  7. have you tried 'only ceramics' , thats a material I've always liked for many reasons
  8. feelings on a screen and asteroids over berlin are the finest of tunes. not heard newest stuff
  9. 'Prince Moth Mothy Moth Moth' is a flipping incredible name for a track ! iirc it was actually 'Prince Moth Mothy Moth Mother' not as in yr mum, but as someone who does moths
  10. this work is a tour-de-force of modern filmmaking. haunting abstract symbolism. puts me in mind of "winter of my despondency" by olof svensson your guitar is now called 'squarepusher' go lad, thats my boy.
  11. i really like it cos it's not often we get to wet everything so much we did one in a massive courtyard in rome once with these little nexo speakers everywhere and it sounded so fucking good, totally plasticky the free phaser module that an outdoor show brings with it is one of the highlights of outdoor (large) events, usually its a pain because there might seem like less control as opposed to a static structure, but it def adds some shifts that are really deep.
  12. yeah all Nord sounds, G2 and rack. the only downside was the delay as it switches voices after PChanges. most of the movements on the G2 were either built in curves ctrls in modules or manual cuts as opposed to sending cc's there were quite a few cc's but not enough to jam anything. it would die onstage from time to time.
  13. after pkd, i was pointed to kurt vonnegut, and tried to catch up on some called classic sf writers like alfred bester and james blish.
  14. ah no we got there too late for that, nice to see the faces though, winston, nightmares, very much a more easy going than manchester vibe. but pretty much same music scene for hip hop, soul and house.
  15. for the most part i would fit single replacements in, i have the very 1st model, not pad grid mod. but i like the full level to get timed events into the system so velocity isn't my main concern at those times.
  16. no, this was tailored to fit to his short film, it has some salvage in there, but nothing from that far back.
  17. "better than EBN for all the wrong reasons" just to be clear - I'm trying to be humorous.
  18. jeez, Joyrex! can someone point me to the 'kill spellchecker' switch we're autechre FFS, we don't spell anything like this. hahha
  19. wait you're genuinely asking? not sure if i should even answer haha, yeah, I'm really asking. If it's too weird, no worries, I'll just do it myself. "Come here, little Acroyear..." hahah insane, i named our #2 hal just to get the job done, but many ppl don't like it for the simple reason they don't like it as a trad name, and as a futuristic one. although the downside of a real name is that if someones' met a 'XXXXXX' before, they're immediately basing things on that prev character. so yeah. lets see what gives, u nutter.
  20. it changes, prob my most awesome fave is very often : Jaquarius - Love Is Happiness(Acid Rain) 1988 - YouTube Just thought I'd chip in and say thank you for playing that track in the last radio session you did. I heard it a single time, live on the radio, over 25 years ago and always wondered what it was. I bought every single Phuture/Pierre record in the hope of finding it, convinced it was by them. Not having a recording of it, I couldn't play it to anyone, and had to try to describe it in words - cloudy, sleazy, convoluted chicago acid, etc - didn't get very far with that.. As soon as it started up on your broadcast I couldn't believe that I would remember it so well after all that time (and that it was so great, of course) Shame it's so bloody expensive, lol. Erm, question.. Do you have a few words to say about 808 State, and what kind of impression they made on you in those early days? As a manchester teenager at that time following Chicago/Detroit music, 808 were largely responsible for shaping my musical language, and when Warp got into gear, it was just a logical progression. Oh, and could you please name my SK-5? :-) running behind on these, so hope its not been done yet…. SK-5 , 'Vimt 0' yeah 808 state were a major catalyst around here, them and baby ford and gerald, a few others too. but 808state had that whole step seq shift thing going on, yknow more notes than steps, or vice versa (like Tdream but fully mancunian hard-nosed about it) and all the scallies would rate it as much as the toffee nosed critics. they would always make tracks that got in the charts yet had major drops or breaks that were an 8th note short of a bar.
  21. nah they've been in a box since the quaristice gigs apologies if it seems OCD or pointless coming back to this, but most of my dev revolves around Elektron gear so it's simply a topic that interests me more than just tangentially... in Fleure @ ca. 3:59 there is a single 'knock' sound which sounds pretty much like a snare sound in the Perlences, most notably in Perlence Subrange 3, which very much sounds like it's the TRX clap from the Machinedrum. this was actually discussed in the forum, kind of a single percussion hit reaching back to Quaristice: is this intentional? is it the TRX clap? is the hit in Fleure sampled from earlier material then, or a different sound source which just sounds like it by chance? the clap: no its not anything elektron, its a sound taken from a recording using JJOS on MPC1K to smash another custom sound around. then smashed around on an MPC1K using JJOS.
  22. hahha we do get hit by reviews bashing us for being deliberately awkward (not true), but in the case of Flutter mbe they were right.
