I fucking love these TV documentaries from back in the day, even the terrible soundtrack makes me feel warm with nostalgia. her voice really is a treat, though was Mark Pritchard's track originally intended for this? if so, nice. if not, even nicer that they picked it. great match

so, I've been craving Egypt related stuff for a while now - don't ask me why - after coming to the conclusion that very little quality content has been put out over the years. do yall have recommendations on movies, quality documentaries, etc? I watched Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb on Netflix, a while ago, which was pretty cool. wish I was still a kid catching the Mummy franchise right now

this the most recent one. much electro. every1 loves youtube

glad you dig it, mate ? rough ideas, sort of. still got some way to go but plan on taking them with me, so I should be able to develop them a bit further I think that's my favorite too. it was the one I had the most fun doing and came out fairly quickly, which I think says a lot. been trying to shave off time spent on not so worthy stuff, that's bad resource management the microtonality it mostly from the patch itself, I'm still looking for ways to better explore tonality, so for now I try to focus on tools that offer more interesting palettes, u know?

to me that's the exactly definition of good sampling, not just copy pasting, but taking something interesting, spotting its idiosyncrasies and using them in another context, morphing it into a new landscape

not complete, but there's this

I guess you could say my shit is very electro driven, how do these fare compared to the gems in here?

heading in this direction, how about it? had to cancel my soundcloud subscription for the time being, if any1 has a better suggestion on how to embed these, please do share 323164987_compmate.mp3 dro_11_rev2d.mp3 wrap.mp3 1421727674_Zplane_11rev4.mp3

say wah? what set?

unlikely, but I guess this could be a coincidence, maybe both Petter and and Richard took a liking to the same Juno preset, or whatever synth that was, in which case would probably be even more painful for Richard to admit.. a preset......... ew

correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I spot sample recycling

yes, and I raise

I think that's one of the highlights of this authorial half of the set, which was brilliant. I'd say it's post-syro, but it sounds like him exploring a more live-performance oriented sound

can I ask how you processed the hats on xtal? where did he say that?

I don't think it looks bad, couldn't care less about looks, honestly. it just feels like either a diversion, or worse, them testing the waters into this vanilla business model. best case, it's just them flooding with more products to elevate profit margins without compromising much of development

hurts to watch in realtime the demise of a company with so much potential

for the most part it's pretty "masculine" sounding, as in not sensual at all. frankly, I always thought that too. apart from the bastions who survived the test of time, a great deal of "IDM" is nerds trying to be more intricate, more extreme, more mind-bending, more outside the curve, more. that may not age well, but those who took musicality into account are still revered, because that's what it's all about anyway that was a pretty ridiculous review, though. probably someone who either never got into IDM and feels the need to attack it because it's above their head, or too young to relate. either way, pretentious and unnecessarily antagonistic. ironically, a very macho stance, if you ask me

loved the foley work

don't know why, but it felt like I was watching this 1776619639_catchworms.mp4

honestly, for learning french I'd say go with the classics, Truffaut, Romehr, Resnais, Chabrol, Louis Malle (maybe my favorite), etc. it was all dubbed back then so they used to speak more perfectly. not only are they great, but you get a cinema history lesson as a bonus. just don't know if Amour is the best language lesson. I analysed as part of my final term paper and that was about Silence in Cinema lol. no, but it is definitely worth a watch, it's beautiful.

this is fucking incredible. he shouldn't be so lowkey, the world would be much more interesting if he continued to inhabit that mainstream pocket he dug in the 00s

thanks. what kind of show was that? didn't know CC was doing them

"we believe music has value" *mindblown* would be nice if he meant that artists are valuable, and not that his job is to figure out how to intercept and exploit every possible source of income an artist might present him while sharing nothing but crumbles
