They’re also putting on Shakespeare plays in Pakistan. So?

Right, and those sine waves are sampled. The colundi sequence is a sequence of frequencies and since those frequencies can't be played using regular sequencers, he creates samples sine waves at those specific frequencies. You can (or could, apparently) download those samples from colundi.net. Logic can only do twelve tone scales. You can change which twelve tones those are made up of, but still, you'll have to make do with no more and no less than twelve tones. Useless. Cakewalk is not on that list, only some of its included instruments are. I don't see Cubase and Nuendo either. Are we looking at the same list?What does that have to do with anything? Well, yes, and that is exactly the point: with a lot of effort and additional tools, you can make it work but for plain MIDI sequencing DAWs will only let you use the standard Western 12 tone scale.

This is a joke, right? I can kind of understand why some IDM albums could be considered macho posturing, but Atol Scrap isn't one of them. In fact, it's one of my all time favorites, so I'm now deeply offended.

All wars are scary for people on the ground. I hear the "if you'd live in Israel you'd understand" argument thrown out a lot and it's absolute bullshit. If you'd live in South Lebanon, you'd understand Hezbollah. So?

Aleksi uses samples. Go to the Colundi site. You can download them, Proves the point. As does the list of microtuning capable software posted earlier: there’s not a single major DAW on that list. Look, I find the tone in which accusations like these are made just as distasteful as everyone else here, but the fact of the matter is the West has done a real number on the rest of the world and people have every right to point that out.

Pretty sure the fighting for oil thing is to make sure countries in the Middle East don’t get too powerful. The US may not need their oil but the rest of he world certainly does. More of a divide and conquer thing, I suppose.

See also: Coming 2 America. Man that was some racist shit. That said, given what Black people in the US have lived through and continue to live through, I’m mostly content to just shrug this sort of stuff off. And snigger. A little.

Outdated Russian weaponry, I believe.

< serious > Electro tends to have a different beat. Not four to the floor but like this: K . . S . . K . K . . S . . S . This is true for modern electro, anyway. CPU records and Cultivated Electronics and the like. With the older stuff, and with early Detroit, the boundaries are a bit more blurry. < / serious > Techno is when it’s boring.

Right, but none of those million ways seems to be “use a scale other than the western one”. For that, the best you can do is samples.
-
Ah, ok, must’ve misread, then. It seems to me like you wrote that DAWs *aren’t* a form of oppression whereas the point I tried to make, not very well, it turns out, was that they might as well be. Interesting take. It’s possible, but considering that the non-Western world has been on the ascendancy for a while now, and making increasingly bold claims to its rights to deal with the world on its own terms, the alternative interpretation, that the formerly colonized are genuinely pissed, seems to me more likely.
-
All the major DAWs, yes, all of them, use western tuning systems and have no provisions at all for using different ones. To the people who make them the 90% of the world that doesn’t use these tuning systems simply don’t exist. By itself that may not be oppression but it’s certainly a symptom of an extremely unequal world.

Au service de la France / A very secret service A French Netflix show poking fun at the bureaucratic ineptitude of the French secret service and more generally at French history. Very funny. Also does the Mad Men schtick were they ridicule 1960s attitudes about women, people of color and smoking except that they do it well, without any of the cringe worthy smugness that made Mad Men unwatchable.

Of course With so many people with now compromised immune systems around something like this was bound to happen. I wonder what other rare conditions suddenly aren't going to be rare anymore.

Ah … Denmark. The properly functioning version of the Netherlands.

Yes. Tulips.

Aaaand ... we’re right back to Stockhausen’s Kontakte

128 is what I’ve heard. It’s definitely nice and bouncy. 126 if you want to be chill out a little. Old school techno and house was a lot faster, though. It begat gabba, after all.

And plain light wood, of course.

You immune to GAS or something?

How does the World view Burundi these days?
Limo replied to brian trageskin's topic in General Banter
All of West Africa continues to get fucked over by France (the formerly French bits, anyway). They do not get to set their own monetary policy, French corporations own all their resources and French soldiers run around telling everyone what to do. Very little has changed since the 1960s. Amazingly, however, Senegal is a fairly reasonably functioning state despite all this. Wonder how they managed that. -
Right. Which this very Wikipedia article itself says is not he same thing as “regular” genocide. At least read the Wikipedia stuff you link to. Edit: for your convenience I’ll quote the official definition of genocide for you: Nothing cultural about it.
-
No it doesn’t. It has a very precise definition: the willful destruction of a people by murder. It was conceived by a legal scholar for the express purpose of describing the crime that was committed by the Turks against the Armenians, which was not driving them from their land or forbidding them to express themselves culturally but plain and simple murder. Israel doesn’t care if the Palestinians were to pack up their stuff and move to Lebanon or Jordan. It just doesn’t want them living on the land it’s decided is its own. Yes. It’s absolutely bonkers.
