not inspired by the current incarnation per se, but as a form of what i like to think of as general hip hop styles, we've always been in into the kind stride some heavy percussion at the right tempo has. Runrepik beats are oversteps tour sound system test patches.

try really hard to do a very shit track

not really too attached to statements about contemporary artists, i mean not to miss the point of the q much, but if people have more options, i expect more outcomes, dunno. yeah we have a handful of modulars, real and unreal, bought and made. yeah we visit Italy almost every time. we've had lots of support from italian people thanks! thank you for replying. concerning modulars, how much do you use them in the studio? because it happens to hear some sounds in your record that make me think: "that awesome sound... must be a modular!" good, that suggests its deep - which is nice because i have a tendency to feel that modulars give deeper results - and the studio right now is all maxmsp. for other older tracks - that depends on which tracks your thinking of is there much modular on pre-untilted stuff? yeah some

2 when we first met, we got on well because of a similar lack of musical training but a similar descriptive understanding of what we liked in the forms of actual sounds (more than full tracks). kind of a bottom up language which works well to this day. 1 i guess just staying up to date with contents of folders is easy enough, say in older work, DP's 'edge edit copy' creates new files each time theres a change, so only latest files needed sharing. no real anecdotes recently - its quite easy to remove whole channels by accident - i ruined seans' latest version of the skeng remix by losing a track. it was a while before we realised, while i was commenting on the mix so far, that what i had was completely wrong. yeah it has presentation mode.

its been changed quite a lot since oversteps, on that tour it was expressly designed to drive the sequencing for outboard nord synths. the load i would get on a thinkpad w/48mb ram, was higher at one time that i could on later macs (PPC 7200), but not a true or fair comparison, cos i reckon the reliance on plugin inserts had shot right up in mac os compared to windows. once when we used an early mac laptop for live work, we also opted to get an IBM thinkpad so we had both at the same time. the thinkpad ran windows version of NM editor amongst other things exclusive to PCs in a live set. i think that granular synth was Granulab, what video, i wouldn't mind taking a look. sorry but I think my crappy question got skipped. Was drunk. Thanks! didn't miss it, can't say, not been to sheff for a while, Hanal is a close friend so anything he does is good by me.

tbh I couldn't see anything other than laptops :) (lol @ google image search for autechre oversteps tour) may I ask what you had in front of you back then? 1 not really on the whole, it has happened, mostly when were in a town with a show that day and theres some likely attendees floating around. 2 yeah i remember being particularly excited by the nature of the kick drum transient with the bass tuning that we got on garbagemx, and yeah the result of vletrmx
-
hands on is important to a greater/lesser extent depending on what were up to, like configuring one that adapts as fast as the system (in the case of max) initially the cons outweigh the pros. so mouse/trackpad is cool enough for blazing through patching. something super simple but mega flexible that mirrors what were doing works well on end results, (as seen on oversteps tour). but i rate most of my hardware for its controls interface, i.e. old nord modular V1 kbd. my bitstream BS3x's.
-
yeah that was me, i said it in a way that was easily misinterpreted. a classic case of assuming someone knows what your on about and them not at all. it was in relation to incunabula i guess. lol no shame at all, i still rate these releases, i mean they're the first stuff to fully come out. it meant a lot to us to actually have an album on a brilliant label. i think what i meant was (in the context of the original interview, as the journo was commenting on the striking differences between old and ((then)) newer work) i think i was trying to say how they were perhaps more simple, but not in a shit way. dude these releases were absolutely seminal

1 yeah good q, we love cartoons, rem, hard to say from which is most fave so mbe i'll think first for a while. 2 same answer but will return fewer options i expect 3 easy 4 easy thanks back

those noises are made from The Trees.
-
1 should we? 2 thats our daily tea break exercise.
-
not for me generally, hard to breathe :) johnnotrixpointrevver =)
-
yeah love the quadraverb, tended towards the reverb phaser delay ring mod - can't rem if there was the spectrum shifter on the plus or not now (its at seans) , not so much chorus or distortion back then - its quite apparent in the early trax…. and its noisiness was not a problem.
-
when sean pointed me to SunVox on IOS i was pretty chuffed.
-
yeah i can distance myself from the processes, assuming theres been enough time to fill my short term buffer with other things. early 2 live crew was best ; ghetto bass, trow the d, what i like, get it girl. however yakety yak etc was bad.
-
not really, we've been into the way he uses the keyboard since we met, and he does fluff very well. I think we just got mesmerised by the keys, and ended up focusing more there.

1 yes absolutely, since the start. Having bedroom studios forced us to do it all on cans a great majority of the time early on. Late night manchester radio shows - listening had to be done covertly. We also had quite a few Walkmans (yeah 80s er), journeys to school/college would be essential headphones time. Later on we would 'idiot check' tracks' final mixes on cans during each DAT pass.. And still a lot of cans throughout the entire process - where necessary. 2 yes - an instrument. 3 iirc theres only one MCR QTR. 4 we're very busy at the mo, so its unlikely in the near future, shit put me on the spot dude why don't u. <3 5 agh, as much as i'd love to say yeah but looking at the namegeargate explosion, i'd be fucked if i could actually keep it a one off. But hypothetically speaking, sure.

It was deliberate.

huge fan Marmite is in our Casio SK1 had similar issues, after a Vimto situation neatly bringing us to Vimto AND Marmite. Dope!
-
Sorry i dont have that, but i do rate talk talk and mark hollis. I think sean might have more of his stuff tho'.
-
No i think im lucky, have been stung by onstage sound guy accidents a few times, managed to avoid permanent damage. Havent tested thoroughly since exai ;) I like all but the taste.

Yeah locally there are some really talented writers. 3dom does alright round here. Ask & Soker have done some good colour schemes not unlike syd meads' lusher acrylic pallettes, but i dont get out much, grafs a saturated scene in a way. Probably old hat by now, but i remember seeing daim for the first time in switzerland on tour years ago, that changed a few things.
