    Many people I have spoken with is saying that Netflix going full WOKE therefore they closed their accounts. 

    More likely: the cost of living increase therefore customers are culling non-essentials, returning to office working so less home-streamy-time, and (certainly in the UK) putting the price up

    Since watching this doc it always seemed like 'The KLF' killed 'The KLF'. This scene onwards seems to be the sad realisation that they may well have fucked it:

    pretty sure thats all they use, and its been that way for a while

    They're also using a bit of Ableton now (presumably for Max hosting and for sequencing) as well -

    What did you program?

    SB: Actually, we mainly transferred our existing patches to Ableton. The reason for this was that we were asked to do a remix for SOPHIE. At that time, we couldn't process our stems in the live setup.

    RB: It was designed too much for real time.

    SB: For the remix, I transferred a few of the patches to Ableton and started to dig into them. Finding myself in context. I hadn't worked with a DAW in years before. I actually didn't want to.
    RB: We actually use DAWs more to master our tracks. So that was a more compositional approach to our real-time setup.

    SB: We practically did live jams for NTS, the elseq parts and Exai. For an hour or so, then boiled it down into tracks, then put some layers on top, for example from other live jams, and then coded the track. That worked well.

    And how did it go this time?

    SB: We built it up layer by layer, very gradually, in Ableton. I don't like Ableton that much, but it supports Max / MSP patches. And then we haven't done the SOPHIE remix in ages. That only happened a few months ago, and completely different than originally planned. We didn't use a lot of the material that we had produced to get used to this new setup. And this is mainly where SIGN emerged. We met after six months of training and heard a common thread in Rob's stuff, to which a couple of my pieces fit. The album came out unintentionally.

    “My attention span is a little shorter than Robs. I get bored faster than him. "

    Just took my usual brief morning stroll over to twoism and the vhs/thrift store thread has absolutely erupted (not a phrase you hear that often associated with twoism) I wonder what’s going on? 

    Love Fredd-e posting in there every so often like a parent telling a bunch of kids high on sugar to calm the hell down. He's doing God's work there !

    It is a fortunate coincidence. What's unfortunate is what the hell are they going to play in a venue like that? Ambient?

    My mind can't work out if this would be the most amazing or most terrible acoustic setup for Robbunshawn

    I refuse to believe that that the description is anything other than 100% undeniable FACT. All of this DEFINITELY was a thing that happened:

    A few or more years ago I used to work at a local Red White & Blue Thrift center and the employees would always get first pick on any of the items that were dropped off. There was a box full of VHS tapes, some of which were horror movies. I grabbed four of the tapes. The tapes have remained on my shelf and never watched any of them until recently over the pandemic when the entire world was in lockdown. I went to go watch The Shining. I took the tape out of it's box and noticed there was no label on the VHS tape. I popped it in and to my surprise this is what was on that tape. I was a little irritated, as I am a big Stephen King fan and was looking to watch the movie. I fast forwarded the tape, but it goes all blank after the music and clouds stop. I figured, some jack-ass decided to over dub cheesy music over some boring video footage of clouds. After all these months, I decided to convert the VHS footage to digital and post it.
