    sometimes i wonder what RDJ's music would have sounded like had he obsessed with software/computer composing vs collecting tons of obscure synths and learning the ins and outs of them

    xanopticon/dimentia collab project https://soundcloud.com/montaux/gelea-baen-montaux-live-excerpt-simulacrum https://soundcloud.com/montaux/ocellus-montaux-live-excerpt-simulacrum might be on the more acid/melodic end than what you're looking for but abandon footwear is also very industrialy at times. this one below is an all live hardware set, they haven't released any studio material yet afaik https://soundcloud.com/cuss-fetish/abandoned-footwear-bayshore

    so in terms of just the 3d effects, you were not impressed? I had high hopes he would have at least captured the depth illusion that most films including Gravity seem to intentionally dial down to prevent nausea/motion sickness. oh well

    i've heard its the first 3d movie designed to induce actual vertigo, read something about people having to leave the theatre to throw up. could be total marketing hype tho. Although i will admit Robert Zemeckis nailed 3d before James Cameron, he's been doing it longer than pretty much any modern filmmaker so i am really curious how he handled the 3d in a live action movie vs a cgi one.

    Age of Ultron is so weird/bad in retrospect. I'm not even really a big fan of any of the marvel movies but it's pretty obvious Joss Whedon gave zero fucks when trying to attach Age of ultron to the vibe of any of the characters post-Avengers 1. Captain america especially seems like a caricature, almost every joke falls completely flat. The best parts of the movie were the dream sequences from scarlett witch.

    there was maybe one short moment on the album where i thought I heard vocaloid but for the most part it's all fairly traditional electronic processing and even bits of classic speech synthesis. He's playing around a lot with doubling things, so he'll be using a speech synth on one track with a talk-box layer of synth underneath of it singing the same lyrics. I think thats part of what makes the album interesting, even when he is using an obvious say karplus string physical modeling synth sound, he's cutting it in and switching back and forth between what sounds like some other guitar like distorted synth lead or an actual real guitar sample. i'll have to re-listen to this one, might have been the only track that used it but I didn't hear anything too tell-tale. If he did use vocaloid he used it in a fairly basic way without bending it too much (but then again Soisong used a lot of vocaloid but didn't bend it too much either yet the project was heavily praised for its use of vocaloid).

    Lost Soul - 7/10 documentary about how bad/disastrous the making of the last big budget Island of Doctor Moreau was (the one starring Marlon Brando). About the only takeaway from it was don't hire a giant star (and especially not one who everybody in hollywood dreaded working with) if you're an indie filmmaker trying to make his first large budget production. The story was amusing but as a documentary it was pretty paint by the numbers (i'm getting kind of annoyed at how procedural a documentary is allowed to be these days, 'Going Clear' was very much like this for me). I almost feel like you can get the same effect as watching this movie by just reading about the behind the scenes. One of the funniest things I learned was that when Marlon Brando was first asked to do superman he demanded that he either appear as the voice of a green bagel or a briefcase and not as himself, and they were able to convince him to do it as himself with a lot of flattery.

    to me it just comes off as him being unfiltered and just posting whatever the hell he feels about the album on a message board. it was your response that actually came off as insecure because of how much his not overwhelmingly favorable opinion of it effected you, think about that

    first hellraiser is really great. has a few spotty moments but definitely stands up over time more than say Nightmare on elm st. Frank's floor transformation/rebirth scene is still one of the best/grossest practical horror effects in film history
  10. awepittance
    you need to watch Hellraiser bro,

    that dog dick story seems like something 0pn would dig, you should tweet it to him and get a RT
  12. awepittance
    really?
  13. awepittance
    ah, now it makes more a little more sense why it leaked so early. manufactures probably had the music ready for pressing a lot earlier than for Syro or other recent Warp releases

    Go Corbyn

    awepittance replied to lala's topic in General Banter

    yeah i just know there are a lot of dumb dick heads out there who still think the the UK and US government were totally above board about 9/11 so they'll probably buy into the idea that Corbyn is crazy (but they probably already have anyways if they are that idiotic) and its also a huge stretch to call him a truther over this in the first place

    Go Corbyn

    sorry if already posted but... game over Corbyn's a twoofer bruh

    whats the concept for this one? The kaoss edge tracks on that fake website seemed to be more conceptual than what ended up on the album
  17. awepittance
    maybe, but honestly this is probably one of the most well blended dense 'experimental' and also very pop-friendly vibes to come out in a while. The experimental aspect of it isn't forced in in a cartoonish 'look how weird we are wooooo!' fashion like Animal Collective or Bjork. I think anybody who has a passing interest in weirder music (who doesn't exclusively listen to goth or dark stuff, because this album is not anywhere near what a black metal fan would like) would probably be able to handle it, not to say they'd like it.

    under the skin rocked my world bruh

    at least 2 moments in the album sound like straight up tribute/homages to oversteps, ill timecode the parts in each song next time i listen. Much appreciated, I've only listened to GOD once and it's pretty dense 3:20 - 4:00 of Lift is one

    my guess is someone who was on the Warp promo list either didn't know how serious the watermarking was or just said 'fuck it' and torched their own access to future promos and leaked it. 2 months before a release is pretty normal for promo send outs, usually the untraceable leak part happens at the manufacturing stage, a store or someone who works at the plant leaking a copy online a few weeks before street date (gl0tch has brought this up here before)

    2nd half of Freaky Eyes probably my favorite bit on the album opening/ending of No Good would have made a perfect background song in an episode of Breaking Bad, really catchy riff
  23. awepittance
    really nice mixture of almost all his previous styles so far, only just reached the end of track 2. the sound palette i could see would be annoying to some, it does have a modern squarepusher kinda sound to it but the end result is a lot more interesting and since it doesn't rely on percussion it's not squashed sounding, it has a nice spacious feel to it. edit: (continues listening) so far this is probably the most detailed music I've heard from him, a lot of very subtle weird sound design layers going on and also touches of Oval that aren't just from his O era, sounds reminiscent of Ovalcommers in parts. a lot of nice physical modeling noise too, at first i thought he was just going to do guitar plucking stuff like in I Bite through it but I hear some nice far-out sounding bending going on, but so far i'm very impressed by his experimenting. Definitely the most exploratory sounds i've heard in a while. the only thing is I feel like im paying more attention to the little details and not being that into the main synth and other sounds taking up most of the mix, especially that very stabby rave sounding synth he keeps using. edit2: cool use of talkbox, what the fuck is that one apple speech synth song that was used in the trailer for Edge of Tomorrow? one of these songs sounds a lot like that.

    thats too bad it leaked this early. Did anybody get a chance to listen to any of the midi file covers from the album? Maybe i misunderstood but it seemed like he allowed fans to cover the songs off the new album using midi files without even hearing the actual songs first (and that was the first 'full preview' of the lp).

    There was an interview I think from around when Replica came out where he was talking about that Kid606 guy (Miguel something or other?) giving him shit about the Juno+looper setup, saying it was played out, and then he got to thinking about it and decided he was right. That guy sounds like such a smug prick and his music sucks too. Oneohtrix or Kid606? Kid606, I have a lot of respect for OPN. I just think Lopatin is a sensitive and somewhat insecure dude and was over-influenced by his trolling. I think it was fair criticism. Daniel didn't venture outside of Juno and delay pedal for years i think we're talking about two different things (slightly). The juno/delay pedal thing is a great improv/performance setup , sitting behind a laptop and playing back mostly pre recorded songs or layers is not, i think most people who go to ambient/experimental-ish electronic shows regularly can probably agree on this. That seems really odd to me that Loptain would take advice from Kid606 at all, even if the advice happened to be valid. I mean as a constant working method of course you should abandon it at a certain point, i could understand that but to to completely abandon a truly live/improvised setup like that seems like a poor decision imo. I think it takes genuine balls/skill to be able to pull off something as 'simple' as a juno/delay pedal live show and actually make it entertaining and engaging, and he was able to ride by the seat of his pants back then and put on a great show i don't see why he can't do it now with his new tools. Even if he's just using a computer, you can still improvise and be physical interacting with one. On the other hand maybe he is doing a lot of live stuff with just a laptop, i don't follow his output closely enough, but that definitely wasn't the case the one time i saw him live, it was him djing his own tracks (pre-replica, so it was extra frustrating he didn't bring any of the 'old' show tools) . edit: lol, maybe he knew Miguel would show up and throw him shade and did it Tigerbeat style instead, straight laptop. edit: I did really enjoy kid606's first couple albums and he seems to making Eno-tribute ambient now which is pretty good Lets just say that Kid606 and Tigerbeat left it's 'biggest' impression in the bay area by appearing on the cover of East Bay express (basically the Stranger in oakland/berkeley) and proceeding to tell wannabe rockstar tour adventure stories which basically amounted to 'dude we're such crazy electronic musicians, can you believe we brought a gun on tour and shit, and we did a lot of drugs!'. it was actually a very embarrassing event that I'm glad didn't have much meaningful residue after. It was like the 3rd or 4th time you saw a copy of Vice magazine and instead of being impressed/semi-shocked like the first time you just kind of sighed . Cex is one of the only main ones off the label who continued making cool shit imo. Blevin Blectum and others off the label too were genuinely good too, but tbh i can't remember much else.
