you seem to be implying something surprised just a lucky combination of parameters
-
well theory is a bit stifling in some ways cos it gets in the way of nuanced development by forcing people to quickly apply categories to things and it can blind people to aspects of what they're being presented with, ironing out subtle differences or even preventing people learning their own techniques facelessness was more about people not wanting to be famous, because connotations

i was getting quite into c a couple of years ago and then gen came out so i dropped it i way prefer using max to coding
-
that interview with grant is weird, it's like he genuinely doesn't understand why people release music maybe someone fucked up his brain
-
nah, i mean our main inspiration was ppl like 808 state doing live acid tracks, and mantronik before that (he was using a studio 440 or an sp12 on stage) we just thought that was how you did it, just plug the gear in and see what comes out rather than playing a song, we thought it would be more fun to store a ton of patterns and then manipulate the gear to create the arrangement on the spot we weren't interested in jazz at all, more the idea of being able to do what a dj does but a lot more deeply
-
warp actually own every sound we make (true story) but yeah maybe some retro thing might happen one day. i dunno cos like, stuff like that never sounds as good to me as it apparently does to you lot i do like how fsol keep doing those archives albums totally under the radar tho, they released like 10 albums without anyone noticing. i keep buying them as well they both look totally wicked and no, i know nothing about them
-
yeah sometimes i hear jazz and i like it a lot but i'm not digging into it or anything like - phil washington (cygnus) sent me this album called yellow fields by eberhard weber which i reckon is amazing, silky smooth strings, but when i tried to follow it up by going thru other things he did or other ECM things none were as good. it tends to be a really occasional thing, where the sonics are just right or something. classical, same thing really, it depends on how it was recorded a lot for me. like, i like shostakovich chamber works but only when the strings sound really grey, somehow that sounds like i imagine he wanted it to. i might be way off there tbh i know so little about him really
-
i don't own any and prob never will (i'm not the right shape) i think rob might have about 40 or 50 of them though :D
-
we r are why were the first two tracks we did on the ry30 they're both entirely done in the ry30 - with a bit of fx on the diff channels maybe, can't rem gantz graf was done before ep7 was released but it was too distinct so we held it back, then it occurred to us to get alex to do a vid for it cos he'd already sent us some test vids so it got held back even longer
-
no idea it's not something i ever had to work on i dunno about inspiration, i mean i tend to find it when i'm in the middle of something, so i guess just 'get stuck in and see what occurs to you'
-
no idea, i don't keep track really right now i like chiastic but it might just be flavour of the month or something
-
kubrick, lynch, tarkovsky yeah mostly dystopian 70s sf, nothing too obscure just stuff we saw on bbc2 as kids in the early 80s we're not librarians really but we did tend to soak that stuff up as kids
-
given that neither of us had any say in our genetic code, i would say quite a lot
-
bit of both, some live mixing, some prepared mixes shoehorned together. we tend to have something prepared waiting to go for if we enter a zone of pure fuckup
-
no they don't even do that now valis pkd humbled ask warp
-
with the occasional splurge of bass tracks and industrial techno what new bass and industrial tracks have you been caning? oh more of a buying splurge than a listening one i listen to the first 32 bars and then, well that's the whole track tbh i only buy it cos i think i might like it later but then it just sits there, coming on shuffle once a year or something
-
we were both living in sheffield but rob moved to london and i was like 'fuck london' so we moved to sflk to be near-yet-far was alright for the first 3 years then it started driving me mental
-
yeah yeah thanks
-
i mean yeah if i could really control it i would i reckon proper accurate voice simulation is actually a lot closer than people realise, weirdly the uncanny valley is a bit easier to traverse cos of people being used to processed vocals, so it's likely that you could get away with it with no one realising but that's not what you were asking about haha i mean, nah, it's kind of boring for me, unless i went for singing lessons or something
-
i'm just scrolling thru by date added and tbh it's like 99% old stuff, i do keep buying things but there are so many old things still to be heard with the occasional splurge of bass tracks and industrial techno i've been caning vladimir ussachevsky lately and there was a collab between asmus tietchens and moebius that i liked a lot oh and i only head binray really recently as well but really enjoying his stuff, in a kind of remote 'it was another era' way
-
answered this somewhere already
-
i'm a silver patron person, also like slivovitz and sometimes palinka lately i've been getting into auchentoshan (which is like babby's first single malt, but the lightness reminds me of patron)
-
atp 03 footage? i never heard of such a thing, u got a source? no we know it's weird no just concentrate on making good tracks, the rest will follow
-
yeah i love aaron's stuff. he's one of them - when i hear it i think 'god why isn't all music this good'. we did some jams over the web a while ago, passing .rns files back and forth. they would get really fucked up really quickly it was hilarious. he's really good at renoise, he should wear a special renoise crown or something he's amazing at relating things to each other well those last 4 questions all relate something about detail and being in a state where you're able to notice it, or at least not having the blinkers on that usually determine what info is relevant i like considering things from different angles so sometimes i can get really into a normal thing just by fucking with the way i perceive it
