    so um, is that translation of the max/msp feature from the last eleking interview happening? asking for a friend...

    I have the eleking, I translated it with google translate camera thing but if I recall correctly they didn't say much. I will try to find the pic

  2. It's not just Quaristice, imo the Quadrange and Versions are absolutely top tier AE. Fol4 is my favorite thing they have ever done and it's completely unmatched by anything else. No such a track exist that would be even remotely close to it. Also Perlence Suns ❤️

  3. There is a 2nd twitch channel that appears to be pointed at from Seans old twitch, they also added some emojis and sub? or something. Looks like the new channel had a test run a few days ago so might be safe to assume they will stream soon. With any luck they will give some of their patches a spin ?

    Wasn't there some speculation about hardware being used on PLUS?  References to Deckard's Dream, (maybe) Juno 106, and of course the 808 sounds in marhide... which of course could be just samples but yeah.  I don't know much about being able to tell the difference so the only way to know would be to ask them.  As for why they would, the only possible answer would be "because they wanted to".

    i guess "because they wanted to" can very well be a legit reason. but i recall in one of the sign/plus interviews them mentioning (regarding what inspired the albums) "something weird always comes out of max"

  5. why would they? i can imagine most of their max patches way surpass whatever hardware there is, especially considering how heavily its customized to their own needs. id also bet most of their oscillators filters etc are much more sophisticated than hardware synths, not even talking about sequencers..

    I was just reading through old AE interviews and came across this extract: “I mean I really like Art Of Noise and On-U-Sound, mainly as I used to collect that stuff, and the overlaps used to do my head in. You know, like ‘ahh that bit’s off that track’ or whatever, and I quite like that. When we came back to listening through all our material, it was quite disorienting in the same way, it was a similar feeling. There’s only two or three bits from the 2005 tour set that ended up on the album though.”

    I've had that same listening experience throughout the NTS sessions, as if AE were creating hybrid songs out of their own catalog. Some of the tracks I can place, like carefree counter dronal combining that early speedy section from the 2015 lives with some pendulu hv moda from elseq. I think some tracks even blend/remix three or more previous songs.

    Anyone else have this listening experience? Really masterful, deliberate disorientation. 

     

    I do have similar feelings to but I think it comes from partly their workflow, if you have an idea/patch up running it's really easy to take it into 1000000 different directions. 

    Like in wetgelis/end of sinistrailAB I hear the pulsing chords from latentcall.

    What about the sound design aspect of their tracks ? Do you think at this point this part of the work is mixed with the rest ? Are they focusing on sound design before going further with the process ? Are they picking a certain synthesis / sound design technique for a release and exploring that direction ? (like with FM in Oversteps ?) 

    Would you say that Oversteps was focused on FM? I havent listened to it for a while except Yuop but from what I remember its mostly subtractive, heavily filtered/fx-ed saws and squares. 
    I dont think it matters much at this point by the way, I think Sean also talked about it. "all the same patter". When you design your own effects etc. and you use it as an instrument instead of an end of chain reverb or something, it doesnt really matter imo. And in Max ideas get so blurry anyway. Very easy to mish mash everything. I dont remember a thing where they were focused on one thing, but my memory might be playing me... 

  8. I know its been a while, but does anyone still have the links for Manchester,  Brighton, London etc. basically any onesix that isnt on yt or sc? I ve been a longtime lurker but only recently subbed to watmm, would die hear those ?  but apperaently links seems to be broken/empty... 

  9. Im 25 now, I first heard them in high school when I had my run through of the Warp catalog. Didnt click at first, but then years passed and I had a friend who is collecting modular synths and was talking about AE a lot. I gave them a chance, this was about 4-5 years ago and the Live sets totally blew my mind. Like the fact that they are able to wrap their ideas in Max and replay/interact w them instead of playing mp3s. Im not much into older AEs maybe its that im young, though I love Bine, Flutter, Dropp and some other early tracks. But to me Elseq/NTS and the live sets from 14/15 and 16/18 are the best and most mindblowing and my most listened music ive ever heard. Total headfuck. For more than a year now I listen to one of the onesix sets every day, feels like life support at this point. Alien shit. I decided to pick up Max then and it cured my depression. AE is definitely the best thing that happened to me

    there was actually a brief moment in one of the twitch streams where sean went mission control / expose on OSX and there were quite a bit of UI modules revealed, along with a max console window. attached a screenshot off youtube. very beautiful and interesting looking UI. thought y'all might enjoy this.
