     Faucon-Titane must be Syl Kougai

    Reheard this for the first time in ages today and did a bit of digging. Turns out you're completely right: two weeks ago the track had a video made for it where it's confirmed as being him:

    "Faucon Titane" is the first chapter out of three of Pandæmonium.
    -
    Pandæmonium is an animated triptych based on original compositions by Syl Kougaï.
    Inspired by Rodin's sculpture "La Porte de l'Enfer", this film divided into 3 pieces describes a dreamlike vision of the brutal condition of man.

    ... this is a broad question, man. 

    Aye - @yekkerwhat is it that you think is lacking in your current setup that you feel the need to purchase something? If you're completely fine as is then save the money and stick with what you've got !

    Did anyone catch what he said in the AMA about SIGN and PLUS?

    They basically made these tracks just to build up some chops on some new software they were using, in the intention to use it for the Sophie remix.

    I could always check it myself but am lazy - From memory it was using an Ableton/Max for Live combo as his workflow .....

  4. IMO 2049 was okay/good until Hardly gives a Fuck shows up and drags himself lazily from scene to scene unsure of why he's there or if they're even filming, at which point I wished I'd not blindly purchased the bluray

    SEAN IS DOING A QNA ON TWITCH RN

     

    https://www.twitch.tv/4utechre

    In the first hour of this AMA Sean mentions there being some cock-up(s?) due to stress (presumably of the first performance after all this time). Is there anything that seemed noticeable ? (don't want to spoil the set so not listening to anything till I go to the Barbican performance)

    EDIT: Or is it just their recording for a possible future live release that got messed up ?

    I bet their performance of "Blue Room" will be epic

    Wonder what the longerererest version of that is they've done. Is there any live performance (or otherwise) that trumped the 40 minute single version ?

    One of my earliest memories is my older brother misremembering (either by accident or deliberately) the fact that the 'Blue Room' referred to a building/room that was so haunted and none of the laws of physics applied - so much so that no scientist dared to go in there. Got freaked out trying to quite what a place was like - nearest my minds eye visualised was this scene from Poltergeist:

    but within a crappy portacabin that looked something like:

    also about drift series: when it came out I was like "hmm ok but not so good"

    but this week I've been digging it more and finally I found out  there's some really good stuff in it

    Drift Series 1 was definitely worth the purchase (bought the box set which included the multi-hour bluray with videos for most of the tracks) HOWEVER it really could've done with some serious trimming - think that could've taken the release from a pretty good 6 CD album (5 'episodes' and the Necks collab CD) to a darn near essential 2 or 3 CD beast

    (track selection trimming rather than trimming the tracks themselves - love most of the longer pieces !)

    I'm probably stupid but how the fuck did Lalo find the builder's wife and how does he know that Gus is building something???

    Spoiler

    Either he got her full details in the previous series when he went to that travel place - Or he used his (no doubt many) connections to just get them to hunt for 'a recent widow of a Werner Zielger in Germany', presumably using obituary details in the newspapers soon after his death. He knew about the construction when he called Werner at the swimming pool when Werner had 'escaped' from the compound

    This 6U suitcase style would fit because I don't want to build a wall of modular stuff etc.. If I can do this inside my computer I would take that road instead! It seems very difficult to create something like that in Max MSP. I want it hands on flexible.

    Have you tried the 'virtual' modular route with something like VCV Rack (https://vcvrack.com/) or Voltage Modular ( https://cherryaudio.com/products/voltage-modular ). Might be worth giving that a go to see if modular is right for you before going the full-on hardware modular route....

    They'd been trying a lot of experimental stuff and most of it flopped (imo). 

    Agreed (imo) e.g. 

    Orbital attempts brostep

    Orbital attempts UK Grime

    Orbital attempts ... erm David Grey

     

    (......though to be fair time has softened my hatred to them over the years!)
