eczem

Listening to "Sept/20/57" right now, it's really good.

Chris will be releasing again on October 2nd, the next Bandcamp Friday, per Bandcamp message. I highly recommend this man's discography: https://amhain.bandcamp.com/ I especially loved Anam Dubh Marbhtach from March

traffic_kng is quite lush he's crossed the event horizon of the great music hole

I've been enjoying @encym's new release, immensely. Cinematic and evocative, I highly recommend it. I haven't tried meditating to it yet, but it would no doubt be an excellent choice. London Departures in particular is the kind of track i need in my life on the regular. https://neotantra.bandcamp.com/album/music-for-meditation

Not sure why Monolake doesn't get more love. I dig it, especially Cinemascope. I should probably check out his latest stuff

Yeah, really nice to hear clarity in the low-end for these. Very nuanced, subtle, ethereal sets. Enjoying the fuck out of these. Not sure on a favorite yet: Zagreb early contender. Also, going into full obnoxious audiophile mode today:

Always remember to recycle.

Some recent attempts at fine art. https://www.instagram.com/enw_64/

14:00-15:36 of New York 031015. So good... my favorite instance of that scene.

Confield, Draft, and Untilted are particularly special to me, and this extends to album art as well.

I picked up different approaches over time. There are a lot of resources out there, and the nice thing about Max is it's super easy to just load up an example file. I think I learned how to make a 1st order markov chain just by using Max's internal search function. I'm still learning things as well; it's been a slow process for me. The earliest thing I recall doing is using random~ and moses~ in Pure Data to sequence midi notes with weighted probability. This was a few years before I ever got a Max license. In a way, I haven't really strayed too far from that approach. I've used 'normal' step sequencers in max, along with probabilistic/algorithmic approaches for both rhythm and melody. Fwiw about 1/2 of my tracks on GeODE were hand-sequenced in Reaper.

Part 2, Long form. No reprieve.:

Thank you ? --- Early afternoon jam:

My kind of stuff. I kind of forgot about Emptyset at some point after Collapsed. What a great reminder, this sounds fantastic so far.

A collaboration with my cousin a few months ago. Realtime/liveset performance. Some of it is more straightforward than what I would normally do. Not sure if I'm feeling the project name, but hopefully we can keep building on this down the line.

I guess the WeTransfer already expired. Just PM me if you want the file

Thanks for listening friends. @xoxThanks man These days I have a rotating/shifting approach using about 70% software, 30% hardware. For software, I've been using mainly Max/MSP, Razor, and Microtonic. Just picked up Reaktor, which is probably overkill now. I'll sometimes use tools like Audacity or Cecilia for .wav editing, but I use mostly synthesis. I usually record stereo into Reaper via Rewire for anything within Max/MSP; most of my mixing is done up front. My current hardware pieces are an old Nord Rack 1, the DSI Prophet '08, and most recently, the Elektron Digitone. Currently I'm working on replacing Microtonic with custom percussion modules in MSP... and I'm working on getting a more robust live-oriented performance system. The approach for each track on Vormaks is slightly different, but the common thread is Max as the main sequencer. Sound sources include most of the above mentioned. They're all live jams essentially.... there's not much compositional structure built in from the start. 'Zaharra Trek' is maybe not my best stuff, but some good moments when i listen back through it. The first track was recorded around 2006, and used the Nord Lead 2 keyboard, my first synth, and some samples for drums. The bulk of these tracks are from 2010 -2013, and I used the Elektron Machinedrum heavily during that time which drove a minimal all hardware setup.

Yeah, i dunno man. Maybe I made a hasty judgement. I re-listened to the track, I and would still say that to my ears you've at least closely emulated the AE live sets from the 05/08 (yeah, they're rad) in a lot of aspects. That formant/vocal sound in particular... guess I didn't realize it was a standard monomachine sound? I used to have the machinedrum, and occasionally I would come across a percussion sound that i knew was on Untilted or Quaristice. Still may want to consider how worthwhile it is to put effort into this kind of thing, considering the reaction. I guess context still matters... and I was under the impression that you had performed this live. Speaking for myself, I would feel weird presenting a close autechre emulation as my own work, without some kind of acknowledgement. YMMV, maybe some people would level similar criticism at some of my own music.

A set of my older tracks. Starts with the very first eczem track. All one file. I'll most likely get them on bandcamp at some point. https://we.tl/t-gRRjIuJI47 2h:45m:57s 379 MB ------------------------------- Also, here's a recent track that started out as something for a side project and didn't make it there.

My assessment: sounds way to close to the '08 live set; you clearly plugged in the recently released set data into the relevant machines. Your mistake was trying to pass this off as your own work; should have called it what it is, a remix using Autechre source data. It's one thing for autechre to be an influence on your sound (i know I'm probably over-indexed), but this seems a lot like plagiarism.

Yep, my fave track on TH

My favorite elseq track definitely shifts as well... it's most often c7b2 i would say
