Pretty good interview in advance of the Manchester gig: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/jun/30/david-lynch-interview-manchester-international-festival Once interesting point is his take on the idea of playing E17 + E18 at the same time to reveal hidden clues (I mean, I know S. Sutherland already said this wasn't the case, but nice to get a definitive from the horse's mouth here).

Yeah, that's why I think it's prob a mix of older material but fed through his new(er) sound mangling software? He does seem to break out the acid/DNB goodness for the Warp festivities (IIRC Warp 20 stuff was similarly "old school" pusher even tho his subsequent album output was nothing like it) Either way ?
-
Yeah, I think (possibly) some of the original melodies/breaks from the Venus 17/Breezeblock era but fed through his V4 (or whatever) system. . . actually get a real "Breezeblock" feel from all this stuff (insofar as it a)sounds like OG []< mental fuckery and b)has me more hyped for Squarepusher than I have been in ages)

https://kotaku.com/red-dead-online-players-escape-game-world-find-beautif-1835829191 This is pretty friggin' cool - going past the prescribed boundaries of a game world is usually that way, but this sounds extra awesome. ..

Nah - very little in the way of any OG characters other than Danny, with the exception of a single scene with Yeah, I mean, why wouldn't you reference a Kubrick film if you could. . . and the film could totally diverge from the written word too (so who knows!)

Thnx for posting Rubin. Yeah, I don't know. Really loved the book, but not sure how well it would translate into a movie - could see McGregor doing a great job but fear the source material (even if updated for film) won't result in a good movie. Though, nice to see Stephen King getting a bit of a Renaissance in cinema (IT, Pet Sematary, etc.) . . maybe will actually get a good Dark Tower series someday (nice dream)

Yeah, started watching this randomly a couple of weeks ago (good w/ busy life to have episodes that are only 17 mins long at max or whatever) . . . *shrugs* seems pretty enjoyable. Interesting blend of animation styles w/ short little sci-fi vignettes. Lot of these could be little snippets from episodes of something larger (that I might not watch but are great in small doses). Don't get the hate. Same thing here - I . . . don't get the hate? Show is experimenting with diff things and changing it up in some places. . . Striking Vipers in particular felt was an interesting examination of gender identities/effect of tech on how we view these sorts of things. Dunno - if there had been 0 prior seasons of Black Mirror people would be shitting themselves over it, maybe just suffering under weight of its own expectations. . .

lol . . . I mean, I shouldn't lol, because this is a sad comment on the state of affairs in the world today but fuck it if you don't laugh . . . Stephen - holy crap! So glad that you came away from the experience with a positive mental shift (some people swing the other way). Truly hoping for a speedy recovery and good news on the medical front!!!

This thread reminded me about FLCL. . . did anyone end up watching the new series(es)? I read up a little and it sounds like "progression" was kind of crap but "alternative" might have been in keeping w/ OG series? Regardless, made me start a rewatch of the first one last night so thanks WATMM . . . nostalgia like a mofo' . . .

At the risk of saying the opposite of something controversial in a "post something controversial thread": it's also possible it's not for you? Obs I love it, but it has it's own particular vibe, and not everyone vibrates on the same wavelength (well, except for me and Tim J ?). Seems hard to recommend something that someone feels like they need to "push through" ya know? Should be fun not painful. . . Though, if you DID want to push through, here's my recommended approach: Set aside a couple of weekends, an 1/8th, lock yourself in a dark room, and blaze through. This is particularly helpful (IMOP) in Season 2 b/c binging it all at once helps even out some of "searching" the show seems to do in the latter half after a particular mid-season reveal I won't mention here. Plus, it puts you in the right head state for the last episode which is so wonderfully WEIRD and Lynch that being a little liminal probably doesn't hurt. If you make it that far, come back and we'll talk about how to approach Season 3 ?
-
Twin Peaks S1+S2 were groundbreaking for their time, but can see how in the modern era they can seem pretty tame. Hard to understate how many doors the show opened up for shows that came down the line. . . Also worth noting that Lynch's influence waned throughout Season 2 past a particular point, so you may not find it as "good" moving through (though the last episode sort of makes up for, well, everything). Season 3 is a different matter altogether, and is, essentially, Lynch's magnum opus. It collates everything he has done before (in all mediums) and adds to it. Pretty much obliterates the existing conventions of TV. If you don't like Lynch, you will absolutely hate Season 3. If you love Lynch, it's nothing less than a fucking masterpiece.

yah, I think as long as it's elective/controllable by the user, why not? Those who don't want to use won't, those that do will.

Yes, w/ caveats. IIRC, Redux is basically the "phrase" element of Renoise - i.e., you write patterns like you would in renoise (w/ effects, etc.) up to a certain length, and then those patterns are triggered by your midi keyboard/what have you and play through. Believe there is a demo version you can try . . . I've had mixed luck w/ Rewire and Renoise myself. . .personally, only thing I really wish Renoise did better was handling the recording/management of long samples (otherwise I would never really step outside the environment). Yep (tho tbh the lack of numpad usage may be b/c I never trained myself to use the relevant shortcuts). . . still, feel like Renoise is sort of built to be able to be used on the go: minimum CPU footprint, built around keyboard shortcuts, etc. . . ^o^

Xie Xie! I rarely smile, this was one time it was impossible not to. ^_^ lol not sure if you are asking if this the child of mine or the unholy union of diatoms and myself. The answer to one of these questions is yes ? hint: I have never been to Ireland.

sorry for your loss That is a fantastic pic though - glad you were able to capture something so beautiful to remember him (her?) by

Think entorwellian covered it. If you go for #2 might check out the tool here: https://www.renoise.com/tools/midi-convert Good luck!

I stared at this pic for a long time yesterday, vacillating between "faceswapped" and "not faceswapped" ... .. still unsure.. ..

lol just noticed the starving children crudely "photoshopped" on the screen

Fixed. As an English guy, I totally understand. 2nd'd (all of this, but particularly the ability to use pattern commands to mess w/ these parameters).

Thnx to cear for that awesome list of tools - have added to the first post. Would second the CDP interface. . . you could lose a lifetime in there. I. . . think this may be possible using an "instrument automation" insert on a track, and then changing the recording of input to graphical (as outlined in my post above). IIRC, the reason to do this would be to allow you to make tweaks on multiple parameters at the same (otherwise, you are somewhat limited to one effect lane at time). If you already had mapped CC to your instrument, you may not even need to do the instrument automation insert. This method does NOT have latch mode, etc., but might get you halfway there.
