    He only heard 'Digeridoo', think he was refering to the drums. I imagine he was looking down on it for being simple, uninteresting etc.

    A shame. The Digeridoo ist the best kind of drum in all of Africa imo

    John Booth from Autechra: "I think we have a natural ability to recognise harmony and I think this exists as much within an engineering context as it does within music. Working in a studio is really no different than building a bridge from metal girders, isn't it? Constructing harmony from a load of predefined frequencies is essentially no different. To me it's all construction, building."

    Stockhausen agrees with you...


    Stockhausen On Aphex Twin (1995):

    “I heard the piece Aphex Twin of Richard James carefully: I think it would be very helpful if he listens to my work Song Of The Youth, which is electronic music, and a young boy’s voice singing with himself. Because he would then immediately stop with all these post-African repetitions, and he would look for changing tempi and changing rhythms, and he would not allow to repeat any rhythm if it were varied to some extent and if it did not have a direction in its sequence of variations.”

     

    Funny thing is, after KS said that, Richard started recording more songs with his own voice, as well as kid voices. 

    What kind of "post-African repetitions" is Stockhausen talking about? The repetitiveness and lack of BPM changes are the least African part about AFX' music. What's wrong with repetition anyway?

    You're making an argument that has more to do with being a listener. Obviously a listener can do whatever they want, I figure that goes without saying. 

    I'm making no argument, I was responding to:

    listen to jazz (not free jazz, free jazz is terrible and has no application - listen to bebop) and classical, contemporary, baroque. listen to blues, gospel, bluegrass, country. listen to music from other parts of the world too. should keep you busy too lol

    And wondered why he thinks there is no application for free jazz as a listener.

    I really like the compression in all confield tracks.

    I found this fan remix of confield which isn't bad at all (still not as good as the original of course):

    Free Jazz is like talking normally instead of reciting a poem or otherwise stick to a given form or meter. Bebop is reciting a poem, free jazz is having a normal conversation. The least weird form of jazz

    Delightful sound design and dense sequencing. I like the amount of variation, there are constantly things happening but everything sounds natural and effortless. I like it

    Do you have any particular mixing tip? Sounds really clean and balanced

    I actually hope his next film will be slow paced like Jackie Brown. Not that I dislike the fast paced style of the other movies but I think he is good at making calmer movies too and I wish there were more of them. He is virtuosic at using really corny elements of pop culture but contextualising them in a way that works
