    all other analords are among the best tracks  he ever did. 

    Some of them, yeah. I've always found there to be twice as much filler surrounding the highlights though.

    I try to get into Coding apps for music and such but the apps haven't impressed me enough soundwise to decide to devote the time to them. For example: Max/MSP. It does sound interesting but even the best patches sound like things I can make in my DAW. 

    I am thinking it would be worth it if these coding platforms had a unique sound. And there definitely are some interesting sounds it can generate, but I just am never impressed enough to keep going with it. Same story with SuperCollider and Puredata etc. I sincerely try every once in a while and same result.

    THAT SAID, anyone know of any tracks or patches (on youtube or something) made with these things that probably couldn't be made using conventional vsts, or at least not have to go out of your way to make them. Or just impressive stuff?

    Yes, this guy:

    Everything made in PD afaik.

    The advantage of using a programming environment in this case is that you can create your own set of rules and parameters and have the composition live and breathe on its own, which I guess is what makes it algorithmic. The disadvantage is you kinda have to engineer your own tools from scratch (in most cases) but then that's part of the fun as well.

    Hi everybody --- here's a brand new wip --- with beats!

     

     

     

    Really nice. I like how the track progresses and the drums at the beginning are on point.

    I also gave your EP a listen. Ambient is one of those things I have to be in the mood for but enjoyed it nevertheless.

    Piracy though takes control away from the labels (and more importantly the artists who actually make the music) and removes their incentive to keep music in print, available on streaming, etc. It also can result in sub-par versions of legitimate music being propagated, which further dilutes the preservation effort.

    Also, has SLSK gotten that big? I always thought of it as a very niche, very specific outlet. I haven't been on it in probably 10+ years, so I had no idea it was even still a thing.

    I'm not necessarily even talking about piracy. The BitTorrent platform already allows you to legitimately sell files I believe, so that could be one way if enough artists/labels get involved. Thom Yorke already tried it out some years ago.  

    I have no clue how big SLSK actually is but I can tell you you can find pretty much anything on there in lossless quality + artwork, etc. if you're willing to dig a little bit. That would be another way, even as a last resort.

    Streaming is absolutely not a preservation resource — releases get edited or just absolutely deleted from streaming libraries so often.

    We had a preservation resource. Twice.

    RIP OiNK and What.CD

    P2P/decentralisation seems to be the answer, no?

    Why rely on a single node to host the files when we can all collectively own them ourselves? We have access to more music on slsk than any other server based platform possible.

  6. I've been humming this thing all week and can't for the life of me find it again. It sounds really obvious but still can't figure it out. Might be Aphex or some other copy cat on Soundcloud, who knows?.

    I've tried my best to replicate the melody, it's a bit off but hopefully the rhythm of the notes is more helpful. Here it is:

  7. I already chose convenience, I'm not interesting enough to be bothered by it or to suffer any consequences.

     

     

    I agree that we're essentially nobodies as long as we're not involved in any suspicious activities but the question is whether corporations/governments should have this power over us in the first place.

     

    Maybe we won't suffer from any consequences but there are people that do. Maybe it's right to fight for them at least.

     

    I don't know what to do tbh.
