  1. as for ae production methods the AAA is full of gems and basically answers what they're about when it comes to gear and process which seems to be "messing around w/an idea/thing/technique and making discoveries that turn into tracks". throw everything and the kitchen sink into that. the answers around Draft 7.30 are pretty revealing. the bit about using the Akai z8 and DP + a midi interface w/great timing so they could do percussive stutter things and multiply the pattern length by 1.40953409736x or whatever it was so that it turned the sound into a pitched melodic thing.. i mean.. obviously their smart and creative and figure shit out then use that to make science hip hop beats. get a thing.. learn it inside out. make it do stuff not thought of by the manufacturer. exploit times 10. squarepusher does this, aphex and others but apply sam/bob own style to it and ae music happens. the squarepusher interview done by keith fullerton whitman has oodles of this kind of chatter in it. get to know a thing like back of hand so you can play w/it and freak it out. tear things apart. put them back together.
  2. i find music + academia pretty boring honestly. i enjoy the proof of concept and the big picture of but i usually find the results to be compositionally uninteresting. i like some of everything generally but i have a hard time surrendering to some things. there's a level of pretense i'm not willing to endure. i understand the output is a self expression of a whatever but academic GG Allin electronics don't do it for me even though i understand wanting/needing catharsis i don't find it something i need to continually experience vicariously through someone's music regardless of how many layers of hard work and intellect are underneath. shrug. i find it tiresome. i have similar problems with some ambient music which is so full of tropes these days.. especially in live performances. there's a homogenized sameness across the genre that people try to make so complicated to the point of reinventing their process once in a while though achieving the exact same results are w/the 3 or 4 iterations of their process previous to the current one. /end soapbox.
  3. yeah.. there has to be a way around this.. but most republicans left. i guess there's some law about process.. this just shows that the republicans abandon democracy when shit doesn't go their way. meanwhile we're a full on banana republic https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/mitch-mcconnell-elaine-chao-grants-us-department-transportation-funding-78m-a8952666.html

  7. ha! i also was thinking maybe this is just sabre rattling to freak out iran with a 'serious bluff'. but also wouldn't guess this administration to be that strategic w/foreign affairs. new poll shows trump as only president never to reach 50% approval rating https://www.msnbc.com/11th-hour/watch/new-poll-shows-trump-is-the-only-u-s-president-to-never-reach-50-approval-62386245630?cid=sm_npd_ms_tw_ma

  9. disinformation is a different thing to disenfranchise. republicans in many states have used their position of power in state houses to gerrymander districts. they also have pushed forward lot's of campaings that prevent people from voting. they're notorius for doing this. changing voter registration laws, purging voter lists for on reason or another etc etc etc. their goal is to prevent non-republican voters from casting votes. period.
  10. GOP hoping to disenfranchise all teh voters before the election. the race is already on
