  1. also disappointed in watmm that confield is not winning here. didnt ae themselves somewhat disown the album as not a proper followup to tri reptae? confield came out when i was in high school. I had been exposed to a good amount of electronic music before but had not encountered anything that challenging yet. it was definitely one where i had to listen to it over and over to even start wrapping my head around it. that moment where the album clicked for me was unlike most any other. learning that i could go through that kind of process with a piece of music (or any other kind of art) was so fundamental to the rest of my life. meanwhile chiastic has some nice beats yeh

  8. 3D walkthrough of the original art in this promo page. pretty dope https://warp.net/us/artificial-intelligence
  9. i love how this thing is like a year late to the nft bullshit and coming up right after all the ftx meltdown stuff and the midterms failure… only the dumbest of the dumb is going to put money into this thing and it’s still probably a lot

  12. if you ever need any help, advice etc hit me up
  13. i agree with tubular but also on the album level, having a deliberate choice of composition methods and tools that are used will help contribute to a cohesive sound. squarepusher is a great example given that he has had several different eras where his style changed slightly- * early jazz breaks style. this included a minimal set of tools, i think mostly his bass, an ssh 101, a tape deck, 909, 303 and a sampler. big loada, hard normal daddy and other albums of this era have a consistent sound and approach to how the drums are sequenced and the overall mix. * the go-plastic era included more up to date hardware and an increasing reliance on digital processing. the breaks are lot faster, tighter and there is a general synthetic vibe * the jazz-fusion era with music is rotted one note, and i also lump in selection 16 and budakhan mindphone into this group. the interesting part there is that they playing styles are all actually quite different but there is a lot of sonic overlap in the use of spring reverb etc that brings them all together in my head * the kitchen-sink albums such as hello everything are almost a summary of all the styles that came before that for me personally, i've found that a style can be built up by taking the same approach to starting and building up a track. i used to be really into just throwing everything out and starting completely from scratch in approach for each track but i've come to value having some consistency. similar to how a song itself needs to have some overall themes, but also variations to keep it interesting. you can write a song one way, and if it worked take the same approach but then at some point try something new in your approach. even if you took the exact same approach you will end up with something new, though you risk getting yourself into a formula over time. listening to artists with this in mind, i think you can find the best ones balance some consistency, which is also going to increase their overall artistic output, with variation and experimentation both within albums and then across their work. autechre is an amazing example of this because they managed to give this almost linear approach to the change in their style over time. the style changes from incunabula to gantz graf are as interesting as the individual songs which makes their output work in a micro and macro level.
  14. always good to test upgrades locally and separate concerns so you can upgrade your application code without affecting your database and vice versa. second of all either virtualization or automated server provisioning would allow you to spin up a newly upgraded server and test it out on a preview url before pointing production traffic to it.
  15. my wish is my command- there are poster prints available. 200 signed copies. got mine, get urs https://bleep.com/merch/356821-phil-wolstenholme-artificial-intelligence-print
