yeah music = speech - text at least roughly - i reckon it's a kind of super-developed version of the pitch and intonation parts of speech (the aural bit that doesn't contain textual info)
-
yeah i had just moved house and everything was in boxes, so i was half messing with bits of the live set that were in the elektrons and half progging in max on the side, so it just kind of happened that we recorded a ton of stuff that way cos live tracks are fast to do. the max stuff then became the system we used for oversteps and later morphed into the oversteps live setup, and then the exai setup. or part of it anyway.

we use the internet andrew's a really top guy, he might seem formidable but he really gets it. maybe i just share some of his upbringing being a northerner but i always found him really 'relatable'
-
tbh it's tricky cos part of the reason we make software is so that we can hack it easily, and save tons of versions. and the way everything integrates is bespoke as well, the protocols etc; that's such a big part of it that it's hard to make a one box solution or something that integrates with midi (or other equally lame or ancient protocols) that well. we do bounce ideas a lot tho. we'd probably use fpaa and fpga pretty heavily if we did anything, so it could be part modular analogue but still have decent patch storage.

yeah strange that one, i would def stop what i was doing if i caught it on tv, but its a bit fishy, another one for John Lewis Partnership around the same time (only Xmas tho) was another close copy, more 'tradDM'. lel i think that was tipper
-
ben's got the DAT every time i ask him to send it over he goes 'yeah' and then doesn't, so i haven't heard any of it since we did the gigs
-
no partly the decision with the live thing is about removing the identity of the space
-
it's kind of impossible, we're not the same people, it would be a pale imitation leave it to people who find it natural
-
maybe the ad was originally cut to Yulquen but they didn't budget for it, that happens might just be a coincidence
-
no plans to work with mick but we love his stuff he's a legend yeah maybe on the warm natural sounds, we are getting pretty good at faking things now but it gets old fast so we usually end up fucking it up somehow tbh it's hard to make any predictions about what i'm gonna like hearing in a few weeks never mind long term the only jug band thing i know i ended up finding cos gilliam used it in one of his python bits (dixieland jug blowers? awesome track actually)
-
hard to say, we'd be using everything differently
-
not dates but we're working on it ask local promoters but nah prob not, you're too close to nyc
-
bit of a leading question, but thanks we're not trying to be bound-breaking but we are interested in new things (basically novelty is really subjective) and novelty takes a lot of different shapes, ie. a familiar thing can sometimes seem good in a new way, because of some change in perception or association i dunno how other people get bored tbh, maybe they're just approaching it differently
-
we have been offered stuff but soz i can't talk about any of it cos NON DISCLOSURE big fan of shane carruth and neill blomkamp and loads of retired or dead people hollywood is in a kind of creative whirlpool atm

we were discussing this recently (milking it for all it's worth) the main barrier is the sheer amount of it we would have to go through, it's a few months work i reckon, if it was going to be comprehensive (and that's hard cos the archive is WELL patchy) and we were debating what we'd actually do with it as well ie. whether it's better to stitch the best bits of different gigs together (like a lot of 70s/80s live albums did) or to release them slightly edited (george lucas), or to touch them up here and there sonically, or leave them totally untouched it's our style to release them untouched really - but they would sound a bit weak if we left them 100% intact cos they were mixed for a live rig, and what sounds good mixed in a venue can sound terrible as a 2 track master played at home (a bit better really loud on cans but never quite right) the fact that we would prob end up messing with the sound sets off my autism and makes me want to make other changes also there is a bit of a source consistency issue, as in the gigs that were recorded were prob not the best examples of any given set (it was always venues doing the recording, we would just be given a DAT at the end), and a lot of the best captures were actually by fans, so we'd have to try tracking people down to get WAVs of stuff we only currently have as MPEG or whatever
-
possibly, we still have a pile of decent material from that era, we could have done another CD easily what we have more of tho is stuff from between LF and Incunabula (mostly stuff Warp didn't want for Incunabula cos it didn't fit the AI theme or whatever)
