  1. *slight shame* that recury one's wrong that would be nice, and it's certainly possible
  2. dunno i mean she has to be the boss from what i understand might work, but in practice i dunno how deferential we would be, it's not in our collective nature
  3. yeah we did the track drane, which had that exponential speeding-up delay thing happening, and then rich did that bouncing ball track, and we answered it with drane2 which was the same delay trick but feeding percussion into it instead, as a kind of tease he said he made a bouncing ball revenge track to it once but i guess he didn't release it, prob cos we all got better things to do than get into a tricks war
  4. A commitment to support their editor software even after the unit goes out of production? yeah this Curious about this. they asked us, i think they liked our tracks and wanted a version, was good fun to make, and we managed to bang a few offcuts from their real drummer and her singing which i still really rate. I feel embarrassed but can you (or anyone) please re-write this sentence to standard english so I can understand it better? I am not a native and idioms and slang are problem. Thank you. "and we managed to bang a few offcuts from their real drummer and her singing which i still really rate" and we managed to include some of the drumming outtakes they included on the DAT they supplied us with; and her singing, of which i am a huge fan
  5. yeah, i mean if anything pertinent came up we would i love bham we did some of our best gigs there over the years oscillate was legendary wicked
  6. don't know about the Basinski thing. Gibson, just THAT one book… sorry i must've been wasting lots of time as a kid, not to read so much stuff. keepin it 300
  7. not nitpicking - but golden ratio isn't really numerology true, how about number theories, ratios, etc. funny that came out at 11:11 which i love. yeah i mean, maths tricks are cool. ratios really seem to come more into play with 2d things tho i always notice things like proportions of windows as feeling right or wrong but i haven't done any proper research into it if i was a designer i'd probably be all over it heh, i am! i was just asking because tool has a song where they applied the fibonacci to the timing of the song, syllables of the lyrics flow 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 5, 3, 2, 1, 1, etc and it had fascinating results. was curious if you guys ever experimented with stuff like that too. thanks! fibonacci is kind of hard to work with cos the vals scale up so fast but it def looks pretty i did some fm with it once, tuning each freq that way, came out pretty natural sounding actually seen this? http://whitneymusicbox.org/index.php?var=v12 it's fun oh jesus primes ow my brain
  8. tons of nord, bits of asr10, bits of dx100, few other things end of vose in was sound edit 16
  9. yeah i think so, i mean we kind of arrived there cos we had been building this thing for ages and trying to get it to sound deeper all the time, but it wasn't something we had to work to maintain cos by that point we'd set a template more or less, in terms of tech anyway. we could just quickly set up a track and record it and go by feels. hopefully the depth come across, i mean from your questions i assume it does, which tbh is the most exciting thing. prob seems weird that - cos we don't ostensibly do our stuff to get reactions from random audience members, but it does mean something when what we think we were doing is being noticed. even if it's just like 5 people who get it. ha wicked cheers, yeah we're working on the next set right now, it might not be the same as the last one but hopefully the depth will be noticeable
  10. yeah we can't release everything, even 2.5 hours is too much for busy people i never heard of that actually, i'll look into it cheers
  11. I mean, isn't this possible with a lot of other different VAs? I don't hear anything special there. tbh the best thing about the lead/rack 1 was the drum maps, having 8 diff sounds per channel is enough to do whole tracks like, the first half of vose in is all one of those things running realtime. having the limited poly means you get the notes stealing a bit so things overlap weirdly Interesting. So, have you tried Blofeld? I mean, it's a really cheap VA (and bugged sometimes) but I think the routing (and programming) possibilities are very good. never used one but i did like the look of them when they came out, i heard they were buggy tho

  13. mostly scottish, with a few irish, a few less welsh, and a tiny number of poles who told u that? p sure i only told like 3 people ever i found it accidentally on a polish site by googling autechre http://www.muno.pl/dj-art/autechre/ [...] Rochdale. To właśnie tutaj w połowie lat 80. ubiegłego wieku poznali się Rob Brown i potomek polskich emigrantów Sean Booth [...] (if you are too lazy to use google translate:) ~[...] Rochdale. Here in the mid 80s of the last century Rob Brown and descendant of Polish immigrants Sean Booth met each other [...] strange Yeah I heard it in that Polish radio show. Exactly that sentence. wow chinese whispers there i reckon i might have got drunk somewhere and said something, who knows it's like 2% true if that nah, i've seen it tho, someone i know uses it

  16. Curious about this. they approached us, are/were fans i used to like their energy, the way there would just be people on a stage all staring at the floor just concentrating on the sound, i really get that
  17. tbh since they went 64 bit this is a moot point, i get better sounding stuff out of max these days might just be my programming chops, i've been using max a lot longer
  18. not nitpicking - but golden ratio isn't really numerology yeah too much, that stuff's deadly nah i wouldn't say that, but they sometimes fill a void that seems to present itself never used that, is it a sega tracker thing? i only ever played the console i never tried to make tracks with one Have you tried Speculoos (aka Biscoff) spread? Perhaps even deadlier... no but i will where do i get that from?
  19. mostly scottish, with a few irish, a few less welsh, and a tiny number of poles who told u that? p sure i only told like 3 people ever
  20. iirc jamie did record this set but he did a mix of soundboard and room mics, so no basically
  21. yeah too much, that stuff's deadly nah i wouldn't say that, but they sometimes fill a void that seems to present itself never used that, is it a sega tracker thing? i only ever played the console i never tried to make tracks with one
  22. usually theres some control built in or some self regulation or whatever (pure chaos can be a bit silly ultimately) i mean chaos in the trad sense there not the maths sense i like fred frith a lot but i dunno the others u mentioned, its not a 'scene' i dig into much, just cos it seems to vary so much
  23. haha! speeding up or slowing down? also, actual bpm or computationally guesstimated? speeding up, but its happening really slowly, takes like 2 hours to get thru each whole bpm computationally. but i like that cos some come out half speed or it sometimes plays one with the kicks doing a hemiola thing or whatever, it breaks things up nicely this is indeed excellent.. running this analyzer over my lib now, intermediate results are already quite good: http://www.beatunes.com/itunes-automatic-bpm-detection.html reminds me of another thing, not really a question tho... you mentioned earlier that working with data mining on your own music is not really a thing you're into if i understood right.. however, have you ever? there's e.g. this online API: http://developer.echonest.com/docs/v4/ it has a thing where you can get detailed analysis of an audio file, down to a "perceptive" description of each individual detected "played note" or hit in a piece.. more info about this here: http://developer.echonest.com/docs/v4/_static/AnalyzeDocumentation.pdf (PDF link) basically you upload a track and get back some JSON/XML with lots of number/timestamp pairs relating to timbre/tonality and such. interesting stuff imo... so far have only used it for visualization myself, but could be interesting for generating synth automation etc., especially related to how a BPM analyzer gets things wrong with interesting results nonetheless... yeah i sometimes sort large folders of one-shots by crest factor (p useful) - u can do that in sample manager i did a load of tracks that are made of 1000s of drum machine presets all sorted by crest factor and then appended, so it keeps getting more intense over time just for sport i might add edit: this looks cool btw, thanks
  24. on my imaginary phone, yeah sand in my eyes, no crying are you sure no crying coz in this next one it really looks like you are. she was like, sit here lads (in the windiest sandiest part of the british isles)
