surprised this still isn't on streaming. Amazing album, haven't fully burnt it into my brain with obsessive listens yet, but I'm sure that will happen eventually

I feel like "AI" would be really good for more experimental musical concepts but haven't heard any great examples of it except some of the early AI music proof-of-concepts which sounded super weird/glitchy, and using voice replacement tools and such for effect within a human-made track (oneohtrix kind of shit). Everything I've heard so far sounds like shit I never want to listen to. I guess thats how I also feel about AI images, I loved it until it started getting good. I think it definitely represents a shift in art, what a lot of artists, humans have strived for is to sound familiar, to sound like others. Now AI can replicate common genres, styles. Humans have to be more inventive to stand out. I've yet to see a piece of AI art that sticks in my mind that I remember, or find meaningful. If that happens though, maybe AI start getting weirder again to compete with humans.

Any info thats not youtube vids?
Right now it's pretty much all locked behind the dev's Patreon https://www.patreon.com/colugomusic
Some interesting discussions online about it. The basic concepts that are kind of unique about it appear to be.
1. No concept of a master timeline starting point or tempo. You can create tempo grid tracks to align audio to, or you can go freeform.
2. Everything you do gets baked into the audio waveform as you adjust it. Like so if you add a pitch envelope it bakes it into the playback waveform and the waveform display.
3. Universal modulation, so if you modulate a filter cutoff, everything synth/effect/plugin above it with a filter cutoff parameter gets modulated at the same time. This has the downside that it's locked to it's own native devices that have specific parameter names. You can work around this and only target certain devices
4. Constantly recording audio that you can grab and put into your track.

Not familiar with this album, but I'll give it a listen and if I like it enough I'll do my part and order a vinyl.

I used to not be a fan of four tet, never understood the hype, I softened up as I grew older, especially in the last 4-5 years. Starting to appreciate his approach to music. It's a very predictable sound, but a solid one that I have learned to enjoy. been trying to learn how to make music in this style, because my wife likes it, but it's harder than I thought it would be. This album, overall I like, I do think it's pretty decent.

Especially when Domelash goes crazy towards the end.
it's a 4:38 in 54 cymru beats-like moment

I think the "does the artist master their own stuff" conversation can generally speaking be somewhat of a tricky question to answer when talking about electronic music. A lot(most?) of electronic production includes, by nature of the industry, heavy compression settings on the master bus before it leaves for mastering. We also know that a "squashed" or "thin" character can just as easily be imparted on the track by how individual groups/busses/tracks are mixed and treated before summed down to stereo for a mastering stage. I think it's likely his records are mastered by someone else, but theres only so much a mastering engineer is going to do if it's already compressed or certain way or whatever. In most cases a good mastering engineer isn't going to completely imprint a different sound on things, and if they did, why would he approve that unless it's what he's going for? My point is, I don't think we can blame "this" (not sure what "this" is as I personally like how this record sounds) on mastering.

i've always thought of him as a thoughtful person who considers things reasonably but who knows what this is about. the track is basically noise and drones and samples. often i think when people say things like that it's because of a very personal specific experience. but as said.. who knows...
the interview w/him by jamie lidell from his podcast is really good btw.
https://podtail.com/podcast/hanging-out-with-audiophiles/howa-ep-79-atom/
Actually, I think I listened to that interview, or part of it, a few months ago, my memory is shit. Yeah I'm a fan of his generally speaking, he's a genius, but I could imagine seeing some of his past work getting scrutinized by the woke mob.

has he always been like this? actually I'm not even sure I fully understand the artist's intention here but falling into culture war discourse is...

definitely shouldn't ruin the song for you.
I listened to it after the comparison was made. Didn't have any effect on my enjoyment don't worry!

Why is the first track sounding like that Red Hot Chili Peppers track?
Same riff as the most spammed tracks in the world: Carlifonication
damn this is going to ruin it for me like someone else previously ruined the first track on be up a hello by saying it sounded like pachelbel's canon, the most overplayed classical track in the world

Ever since hearing aphex describe how he made Fenix Funk 5, using parallel bandpass filter section on a fenix modular to simulate vocal formants, I've been obsessed with finding an analog monosynth that has parallel multi-mode filters (via a switch or otherwise). You would think with the oversaturation of analog monosynths there would be SOMETHING capable of doing this by now. Even most of these huge flagship monos cannot do it. Modular could do it, but I don't feel like diving into that. Theres a lot of synths that come close, but I haven't found one. Some have a formant filter mode, some have one parallel high/low pass filters, but nothing quite like that sound.
I Just found out about the SER-2020, which seems to be a clone of the Synton Sryinx (which are incredibly rare and way out of my price range). And holy shit this seems amazing? Kind of the exact filter sound I've been looking to incorporate into my setup. Synton style formants for a reasonable price, not to mention it just sounds good, I love character synths. Somehow this completely flew past my radar a couple years ago.
Looks like loopop just did a video on this synth. I'm still interested in getting something like this some day. Probably not any time soon but I still quite like the parallel filter architecture, need more of that in monosynths

I feel like something interesting about this album, especially in light of the accompanying track comments from hannah at warp, is that it's made on so many different systems/setups/methods. Theres pure digital like wendorlan, theres the hardware approach ones, theres the guitar ones that are pretty much raw performances, theres the guitar solo performances that have been edited ultravisitor/hello-everything style. What makes this feel cohesive is not from the sounds or the setups as much as approach of the artist and techniques and flow of the tracks. Almost like tom took a step back after the last run of albums since Ultravisitor and was like, I've mastered all of these tools, how can I destroy my artistic habits and morph each of these into a vision of a newer better but different exciting sound? Guy constantly reinvents himself for sure, but this feels different somehow, feels like more pure intention.

Based on the name, I feel like Heliobat will be cool. Plotinus vibes maybe
Basically plotinus 2.0, was I wrong?

Akkranen is so nice. got the mix pretty much perfect considering he recorded it to 2-track.

A few of the songs have really abrupt endings

What the hell was that tom. How are you still coming up with these ideas? Domelash was basically perfectly executed, could become my new favorite track

Just saw the note on bandcamp that it won't be streaming initially on release. Anyone know how long it will likely be before it'll be on streaming? A couple days? A week?
I'll happily pick up the vinyl but I usually listen on apple music day to day, I don't collect digital files as much these days but I will if I have to for this. -

It is. This is something completely new, the closest comparison has to be Venus 17 ep, but it's so much more than that. He is truly reinventing himself with these past two LP's. There is so much more than the mentalism of the teaser track (which is brilliant). Believe the hype, this one is special.
Thats a bold comparison to make
-
this one going to be up there with ultravisitor and go plastic I can feel it

That's mad, not done by mistake though surely, touch of the strange Warp marketing ploy off this, few remixes with Amol Rajan saying 'jungle juice 16th October" incoming and the best one is from an anagram of Ceephax Acid Crew
Creepy Wax Cox
context? not seeing anything in the leak called creepy wax cox

Good recap. I loved the live show. I went in knowing nothing and was blown away.
