Newbound should have been titled meowbound. Any way you could fix that huge mistake?
it's too late

Any thoughts on Drexciyan music?
yeah out of the detroit lot, they were the first for me, to show how 'dizzy' they could get their funk, like mad mike had the funk but really fast and quite pneumatic sort of tight, and juan with his shaky proper dance club stuff, but drexciya, were super wet sounding with the ms20 type of sound they went for more often. rubbery, and yeah i really went for the overseeing nobility they played with as characters.
yeah they really created a line between what we knew about electro as kids and what was happening with techno at the time, but in a really different way to everyone else, like they had their own more correct version of history going on
in the early 90s not many techno producers were overtly referencing early electro (we def felt pretty alone in that regard when we first went to america) and drexciya seemed to be one of the only techno things at the time (other than UR and juan) who were doing it so explicitly. drexciya more than anyone really.

Do you have any favourite albums or tracks in the Chris Douglas universe? I think my fav album is Seimlste. SDSS as a track is great, even though it differs a bit but hey.
HAHA bad name choice, he said O.S.T was eaten by the interwebbs

a couple of questions that were missed earlier (no problem):
1. Have you ever checked out some of the electroacoustic/acousmatic concerts at the University of Manchester with their 24+ channel "MANTIS" sound system?
They do some pretty amazing things with aural images and spatial counterpoint. The music coming out of there is quite gestural, but still really taps into cross-modal perception in a meaningful way, if one's listening skills and attention span are up for it. Some "academic" composers that are doing some really interesting DSP - Natasha Barrett (although she is from Norway), David Berezan (professor at U Manchester), Manuella Blackburn.
2. Either of you have any interest in Supercollider anymore, or does Smalltalk code do your head it too much?
I love Max to death, but often feel deflated when some algorithmic process takes an extraordinary amount of patching in Max, but is only several lines of code in Supercollider.
1. no
2. i prefer max cos it suggests tangents

tbh i find these kind of axes a bit artificial, arbitrary at best. it's a shame there are these two predominant camps given how flexible it all actually is
But you believe that the two camps exist? I've never heard omnivorous music in that sense that is as good as specialised music (at least in some small sense) as far as I know - I genuinely want to find music that makes me think differently, I don't want there to be a boundary either
nah i think they don't really but a lot of bands seem to and the press are lazy so it perpetuates
Can you recommend any musicians who use both electronic made music and noisy physical instruments/vocals in a way that rocks and makes you want to go crazy? (genuinely interested, totally understand if you can't think of one off the top of your head)

any plans to play the newly refurbed glasgow art school?
would an artificial intelligence reunion tour be mad fun or what?
we will if we get asked
re ai: i reckon it would be a pretty strong lineup if it was all the orig people
i'd do it, if there was an easy way to do the tracks, not thought about that bit
not kidding re line-up. has it ever been discussed at warp d'you know? i can't be the first to suggest it. i'd come of retirement for a gig like that!
no idea, they never mentioned it. fly idea tho, i guess a lot of it hinges on how much the artists would want to honour the ai thing, whether they play old tracks, or new ones etc

Wish I could give y'all something!
Elementary questions are all I can think of for y'all...
So anyway, what's your fav color?
i like combinations more than actual colours
like, lots of black with small amounts of 100% green and white
100% blue next to 100% yellow
cyan and red, with bits of grey
tons of others but i don't wanna be here all day lol

1) What was the image used on the cover of Incunabula?
2) I've been thinking lately to make field recordings. Never done that before. What recorder would you recommend?
3) What do you say, one last shot at naming my guitar? ;p
1) it was a video of rob and me which was played thru a tv out of tune and re-photographed, by daniel 72
2) i dunno much about what's good i have a habit of using absolutely anything
3) your guitar is now called enrico
One last question if you don't mind: Are you familiar with the project below, or similar endeavors using plants as signal transducers or biofeedback oscillators/modulators? Interested in your thoughts or personal experiences.Pardon the lack of embed for this specific project - not sure yet if there's a way to embed Vimeo here. Quite into the idea of sampling the houseplants, and who knows, perhaps the mineral collection as well...
weird, i have a mate who was doing stuff like this about 10 years ago
i like the idea of it definitely
-
You mentioned Sunvox and Renoise but have you got any background in older trackers like Impulse or FastTracker ?
EH is now called The SplundFavourite episode of "the trap door" ?
a useful one def, but i like them all really - a lot
Haha, me too.
Did you miss my 1st Q or is it unworthy / already answered in the thread (thought I'd read the whole thing)
nah i haven't at all
the one everyone i know/rate uses was octamed but i never tried it. they all use renoise now

Earlier in the thread, an analogsolutions reverb was mentioned, yet in the recent fact mag interview, rob mentioned not wanting to jump on the euro rack bandwagon or something like that.
Could you clarify?/Do you have a proper or small modular system?/What are your thoughts on eurorack/ is it relevant to you?
I asked something like this earlier but I think it got lost in the forest of questions, or maybe you answered it and I couldn't find it haha...Either way, I'd like to extend my thanks again- this thread has been really inspirational.
yeah we had the rs integrator since 2001 or 2002, but we haven't been buying loads of modules since it got trendy again
i think the track awep was asking about was from 2005 or something
my thoughts? i dunno i mean, it's cool but i think it's enabling a lot of rich stupid people at the same time
all i care about is the tunes really. play me the tunes

Modey's done a bloody ace go at recreating the process here - http://forum.watmm.com/topic/30105-fold4wrap5-how-its-done-discussionarguments-thread/How did you make fold4wrap5? The timing does my head in. Is the name a reference to this?
yeah pretty close, not bad at all modey
-
ok - give us a shout next time. : )Before you guys leave, I just wanted to say thank you and I'll see you from the dance floor next time you're in Seattle.
Cheers!
Absolutely. And thanks again to the both of you, I'm sure this endeavor has been trying at times, just know I'm sure it's meant a lot to many people and is super beneficial to this/our community.
thanks, and good luck

Justin Beiber has taken to Graf. Looks like Brazil is a little pissy he's been doing it there.
No questions really. Just figured it needed to be posted.
Prettydope.
is this.. what.. i..

Have you ever heard an interesting sound while out and about and sampled it with your cellphone?
Given the flexibility of software and controllers, do you still find your old hardware boxes (e.g. r8) useful?
How did you make fold4wrap5? The timing does my head in. Is the name a reference to this?
Do you ever play keyboards/pads live and record (opposed to sequencing)?
i haven't used the r8 for ages but the board is a bit knackered so it bends when i push the top left pads, needs fixing really
i think we got so good using it that i'd always keep one around, and yeah will prob even get a mk2 one day haha
the memory is shit tho i used to run out by doing busy patterns
ah that's easy tbh but i'm not saying
yeah
-
I will have to log off for today...since you will...at first not come back...I say good bye and its been fun take care guys
cheers bye

Have you used java with max or do you stick with C only? Java seems easier, OO not having to mess with pointers etc
yeah but i don't have se6 on here so not atm
-
what do you think about the cavity job single in retrospect?
i still wish they'd had the balls to release the original
but i guess we still could ourselves sometime
-
Seems you missed this:
Ok I'm really torn here about what to ask you guys and obviously a bit awestruck that youre being so gracious in patiently answering some of these questions,also even though a part of me wants to shamelessly whore out my S.O's music I've decided Im not going to.
However his birthday is on the 25th of December...can you imagine losing out to Jesus every year?
So...at the risk of reading like a postcard to Tiswas,please could you wish Happy Birthday to Max ?I know its early but what the hell.
Thank you both,in anticipation of your reply.
kisses etc
Lynne x
Come on, chaps
oh
happy birthday max
(is that ok?)

you said somewhere that the Incunabula album was a compilation made of presenting tracks to WARP ...will the other tracks ever see the light of day
maybe, we have talked about that
dunno
