  1. Yeah Sydney is appearently almost all new material, second half of London B and like 40 mins of new shit. Some of it is modified versions of the patches Sean posted last year. It also somewhat feels like it gets increasingly faster, by the end its just rattling. Some of the fastest stuff Ive heard of them since like Cap.iv

    Any diehards memorize the AMA and know where he said it? :duckhunt: I seem to recall him mentioning that too, but I thought there was more to work with. My vague lasting impression has been that he indicated the 2010 could be worked on and released at some point, maybe one or two sets. Then the golden "ok" to your post seals the deal. Sean thx in advance :catsalute:

    Dont remember when exactly but the Oversteps live stuff came up in the first AMA from last summer i think. I vaguely remember Sean mentioning they have a very few of them and it might come out later cuz people seem to be interested in them but he didnt say anything exact cuz too much into whatever they are doing atm

    Pitchfork rated volumes 1–5 of the album individually, with scores of 7.0, 6.6, 6.9, 7.1, and 6.8

    Imagine rating elseq 5 that has spaces how V and freulaeux on it 6.8. Must have listened to it with sound off

    Talkin bout soundboard release timeline tho :datboi:

    But if they're touring more then would they wait and put out all the sb at once?  They did it in batches for 14/15 AE_LIVE ... 

    Taking a break from my annual early-spring oversteps obsession for a minute and giving helsinki another solid listen, in the meantime

    I think if they tour with the same set they would probably wait, but Sean mentioned they have several hours worth of material and most of it havent even aired yet, so i think the most likely scenario is soundboards will come out this year but this years live sets will be different, like Barbican 2

    I don't think so, although I did find the set almost boring at times, because there's no discernible dramatic arc, no tension and release, just otherworldly sound design and rhythmic pummeling. It was... fine, but not comparable to the sublime and exquisite experiences I've had with a lot of their music. I would prefer to hear something that has evolved, changed, transformed even, with time, experience and skill, but perhaps it's just me who's lost the ability to do differential analysis of their progression, and truly appreciate how they do what they do. I have been following Ae intensely since Incunabula, and have spent countless hours listening to everything they've released, so perhaps I've just found my saturation point - although I found Sign and Plus to be a breath of fresh air.

    I see it similarly except I take the opposite conclusion, to me 2022 sounds as much recent AE as it can in a good way. I agree its a bit too well blended together but sound design wise, and rhythmically etc. its the best shit there is. If we are talking about the good quality Terraforma recording, the spectral wobbles right at the beginning, the sped up ecol4, the acid bass around 11:40, weird riff at 18:40 with the wobbles underneath, 29:27 slow down with the high resonance filter sounds, 46 minutes almost a throwback to that bit in onesix... lots of standout moments for me and its extremely fresh

    sometimes knowing nothing is better than half a story, which is the main reason we hardly ever go into this stuff - the speculation is worse than a total lack of info.. so at the risk of kicking off a lot of further questions (which i will obviously refuse to answer) -

    rob did the mpc bits of perlence and i did all the machinedrum/monomachine bits (you can figure out which are which). losid was me, and subrange 6-36 was me (literally just some of my parts slowed down).

    pro radii was about 50/50, rob did the start and i did the end (the start is the best bit obviously).

    on most tracks from that period as a general rule all the mpc bits were rob and the md/mm bits were me, with a few exceptions.

    This will be my final post on this topic, no further questions pl0x, i'm off to eat, have fun

    Sean u should have trolled us all, whenever someone asked "how did this thing was made" u should have said "idk that was rob" for everything, opportunity missed

    Not to be totally daft, but I don't know one thing about how Max / MSP works. Can anyone ELI5 for me? Or link to some basic videos? I thought it was more of a "sequencing" software but it seems I'm incorrect, and Sean now does everything he needs to right in it

    Max is a visual programming environment, think of it like a programming language like Python but it's rather visual. It has whats called "objects", that u can chain together to your liking, creating algorhithms. For example there is a [saw~] object, which will generate you a sawtooth wave. If u plug in a [numberbox] to it which just allows u to output numbers, and say that numberbox is outputting 440 then u have a sawtooth wave playing on 440 hertz. There is a [metro] which is a metronome, that you can turn on, also give it some time in miliseconds, for example [metro 500] will give you a bang every 500 milliseconds (equivalent to 120bpm). There are thousands of these objects, though the core objects are around a few hundred. Chain these however you wish and you create "patches". There are also a bunch of visual objects like dials, sliders etc. Basically like a gigantic lego collection but it is up to the user what you will create out of it. The user range is pretty wide, from doing live visuals, audio reactive stuff, to making and prototyping instruments (some of the Elektron stuff was protod in Max), building effects, Max4Live devices etc. Ae uses Max in a pretty unique way, they basically create a bunch of patches in the studio that are spitting out different algorhithms and they swap those patches live, allowing them to change controls in real time, since its all generated live, there are no audio files and such in there.

    Therez nearly 300 mental disorders listed in the DSM-5 and online communities accept only autism and to some degree bipolar ... both being misused and misdiagnosed in 99% of cases

    what youre describing can be explained in 100 different ways, ... including autistic spectrum... but including other disorders ... and including comorbidities ... but also including personality axis as in completely normal or neurotic or borderline or psychotic inter- and intrapersonal levels of functioning 

    not even talking about even simple things are misused like introvert or extrovert. by classical terms, introvert is someone who loses energy in social interactions, extrovert is someone who gains energy from them. its a bit hard to even talk about it as black and white, as example im probably somewhere in the middle, but people call me introvert 99% of the times. i gain a lot of energy from 1 on 1 sessions with friends or partner, or people who i know well. big groups of people however drain me quite a lot, and more especially if i dont know them

    i think its the same with others, lot of times it feels like people call themselves introverts because they dont know much people they like

    i wouldnt call neither sean nor rob an introvert
