argh loaded as fuck (not that u know that - but ppl who i met know i met them) anyway, nah is it fuck a good idea, you're bound to get some bubbles burst if you do i would say one time out of ten they prove to be as cool as u imagined
-
ai is a funny thing, i mean, if i was to use the average game programmer's definition then we're already using ai in our work, but i would never make that claim outright cos i think describing a series of if statements as ai is a bit reaching and self-congratulatory but i'm pretty interested in it from some angles, but most of them to do with analysis and mining tbh, and that's not really the way i like to make things it would be fun tho if one day we just turned a machine on and it wouldn't make us a track cos we had ignored it for a fortnight, and just started spitting out really bad trance tracks out of spite

i learned really early on not to do this the first time i thought it was while in college, and then it happened agin when we were using daz fitton's studio in 1990 just shelve a ton of it and learn one thing at once try making whole tracks with just one thing. it will push you into figuring out novel ways to use it rinse and repeat, then swap to using something else when you feel comfy with it learn one thing at a time

yeah we're both quite visual people i think at least, when we met and we didn't really have much knowledge of how music was made we'd use a lot of visual metaphor to communicate about music that and tactile things - which occur to me really frequently when i'm listening to stuff altho i rarely have actual words i can translate it into other than basic long-range words like rough/smooth which i hear everyone else using not sure if other people hear all the detail or not cos text is probably limiting what people can actually say about it and yeah it totally translates for us, i think brains have so much shared modal processing that it would make sense that it does for most people, but i might be wrong, maybe my brain didn't develop properly, or i listened too hard as a teenager or something - but i reckon we're prob not that unique really, given that rob shares a lot of this

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. yeah this don't get bogged down getting the right mics or anything, just get stuck in with whatever you have to hand. use headphones while you record

bochum welt is alright but he's a bit like a happy shopper version of afx, i mean i like it quite a lot but i keep thinking 'is this richard? nah' which gets in the way a bit we have fans in the east? i lived there like 5 years and i didn't meet one lol - well, when Plaid play in Norwich, they have a pretty big attendance - and arguably you guys are more popular than them so I figured that you'd have no trouble selling quite a few tickets. Your previous tours haven't touched the East in recent years but bearing in mind the Norwich Arts Centre promotion team is part of the University of East Anglia, you'll get a large attendance I'm sure. I saw you guys in Brighton during the Oversteps tour but had to drive from Ipswich to Brighton! Awesome set though - it was worth it. feelings on a screen and asteroids over berlin are the finest of tunes. not heard newest stuff lush (new stuff): i like that

not bad the first one - i mean i prefer stuff with more subtle timing tbh, and not really into the sound of it much. its kind of impressive but some of them triplets were a bit unnecessary. i'm more into clyde stubblefield if that makes any sense the second one i dunno its all a bit noodly for me really, I'm not really into jazz much
-
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'
-
its good i wish journos had questions this good tbh, it would make that side of the biz a lot less tiresome yeah we will be back of course why don't people dance there? like, as far as i can tell, in order to dance there people have to get totally shitfaced first and it becomes this whole other thing

1. no 2. some of them are accurate, some are way off. no clues, sorry 3. oh there is no 3 4. wav, cd or vinyl 5. they were always two tracks, we didn't split anything no, it means something specific (refers to a vocal sample in the track) to 5 ..well I just thought that because 2 and three seem to go together its like 1 track split in two parts? or were they created seperately and they just seemed to fit? btw I can really recommend atmogen ...again it works from the spectrogram side of the music...you can draw the sounds so to speak...if done right it sounds wicked and you get some VERY nice sounds (I use it quite often just for that) yeah they just seemed to fit ok i'll check it sometime. cheers

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
-
oh that's nice ha thanks. i have thought about getting another set so i could do the backsides of all them but the idea of lining 8 up exactly on the wall sets my ocd off. i was thinking exai art was a typography exercise. amirite? yeah
-
i enjoyed the ride, it was nice to see them getting so much attention i reckon the album is pretty good but i prefer it when mike gets more busy on the keyboards, just cos he's so unbelievably good at it also not sure i understand the politics really but w/e
-
it was an obvious loophole, what can i say they had shit lawyers working on it it was all programmed on an r8 using pads (incl the melodies) they never did, my folks were amazing, even when i dropped out of college to get a job (to buy gear) they were really supportive and just let me get on with it i'm really photosensitive in fact tbh i should be wearing shades all the time, i just really don't wanna look like bono edit: inb4 all the shoops of me looking like bono roll in

yeah i know i'm meant to say disco volante but nah, california i only started watching it 3 nights ago, i avoided it cos loads of idiots kept telling me how great it was and when i watched a bit of it years ago it seemed totally shit compared to the wire (which those same idiots didn't seem to get) coke busy bee nah, mountain long red boxer briefs replicant you seem to be implying something no yeah the way i got round the (frankly laughable) baud rate was to quantise the continuous param changes to note starts

oh that's nice

nah we were in manchester then and i was only 16 in 88 and looked even younger, i couldn't even get into a lot of places
-
i don't think about it too much tbh it seems like both of these states (objective/subjective) are impossible to achieve, and really we are all some combination of the two

hello
-
i think partly cos we don't work in the same stages that a lot of other producers seem to ie, writing, recording mixing it's all jumbled up for us
-
breathing in fumes leave in silence longer the end of the 12" of love in itself see you extended mix now this is fun extended mix in your memory slick mix every mix of fly on the windscreen i mean shit, there are so many things native tongues was slightly after my time in a way, there was a brief spell where i wasn't listening to much hip hop cos the emphasis and audience had moved to a place i didn't recognise i got back into it when wu showed up do we tell him? her? i think our original intention to not write it on the record should be honoured
-
not really i know that's how a lot of people use max but it's not why we got into it max has a pretty diverse userbase, a lot of people with very specific requirements
