you know what? that makes a lot of sense, Rambo.

crawling up a tree branch, couldn't tell if it was humongous or if i was rather small, innit. rambo was there. i get very close to the end of the branch but just before completely achieving my goal i find i am in the basement of a cafe where there is a big party. i'm very nervous that we will all get caught by the police b/c it's after hours and we broke in. rambo broke the lock for us. b/c i am so worried i keep going further down more stairs until i am in a huge room with dirt floors and a massive clear blue pool in the middle. it's majestic, awesome. rambo is swimming in the pool. the cops show up and pretty much every one just runs away but i am so far down that i feel like i have time to explore before they reach me. i find a coffin. rambo is inside. lol. my dead grandfather makes an appearance and tells me of a secret wallet inside the floor of his bedroom. suddenly i'm there and checking it out. i lift the carpet and find an odd wood panel. i lift it. i find the secret wallet. rambo is inside.

i want this

but guys we've already had this thread, cf my post: i was the cool guy who wore robes, capes, sweaters, regalia, crowns, serpents (dried into necklaces), pharaoh costumes, jade jewelry, furs, and other cloths and garments and coverings. i was know by most people as a scholar of the renaissance, a holder of many prestigious trophies, a guru (Guru), people knew me as Handsome Prince, Cameron, Morgan, Ophelia, Agamemnon, A-kill-EZ, i was always dominating the classes with my personality and charisma, always drinking champagne during lunch hour (much to the consternation of the authorities, who were helpless to deter me), i was always scoring the most points in sports, scoring many points with girls and women. in the final years of high school i was commonly covered in gold and carried through the halls by people on stilts. afterwards we would all have a giant roast in the gymnasium and colored our faces with organic pigments, chasing each other until only one was left standing (me, of course). when grades were given, my report card was always blank since the teachers considered me utterly incomprehensible, distinctly ineffable. i obtained 17 degrees while in my senior year, all the while hanging out with long-hairs, drop outs, jocks and cheerleaders (who blew me always), student teachers, medical examiners. my GPA was 15,000 -- a world record. i was told by the dean of american schools that universities considered closing before i graduated in order to avoid the tremendously frightening honor of housing me in their institutional umbrage. instead of attending college i wrote every book published in 2001 and received many honors, none of them suitable to my noble ideals. in 2007 i was awarded best of high schools and my name became synonymous with spiritual attainment, orgasm, wonder and awe, enlightenment, best with chicks, winner, etc. at least, this is how i remember it.

has anyone heard this yet? i dwnld the leak and was like "lol"

is this album any good?

this one's from an italian magazine called "soundini" -- sorry for the bad translation" In a world where home computers are becoming the norm and everyone and their grandmother creates algorythmic musical compositions in programs like Max and Facebook autechre struggle to maintain an edge by creating edgey music that not only walks the line between noise and music but takes that line, puts it through a comb filter, adds a break beat and puts it out on a little label called WARP (grizzly bear, battles, etc). i met up with rob brown, 1/3 of autechre, to talk about just what does it take to surrvive in today's economy. please tells us all abouts Overtep, your new CD. well, sean and i use Digital Performer for all our tracks so this time around we loaded it up with VSTs and took all these field recordings, from like, family vacations and stuff and just went super nuts mangling the samples... mangles them how? we used some wicked effects, like Reverse and changing the pitch. so like, the first track on the album ["Envane"] starts off with this low pitched barking sound -- that's actually a sample of a dog barking, pitched down. also reverb is on it, we LOVE reverb, especially the one's Alesis makes; he's a great reverb creator. yes, A;esis is my brother anyway, i do most of the computer stuff while sean booth handles the acoustic stuff and we have another dude who writes the music. we all just have a laugh, cum our pants, silk our sisters and annoint our membranes sounds wicked it is wicked yeah. so, when are you going to release new albums? probably do you ever think of getting into producing? songs? yes we have already done that, like, for some pretty famous people. i'm not going to name names but bustah rymes is one and j dilla, we did most of his beats. i have a new computer so i can finally expand my skills via email. hotmail is excellent for this yes in the past we were very competetive, usually we used our bmx bikes, screenshots from SOS magazine, old boss delay units, etc. but now that we're older there's a lot more stuff we can do, like for exampling we are too fast for our computers so everything we think about requires two computers each and brian eno is he involved in a lot of your production? yeah, he did several of our first albums":: "Discreet lOOPS" "Ambein" "live at Appolo" so we're indebted to him. when we first played our first video game ("little red hood") we were always already like, "yes, we've got to get into this business" and the music was a soo inspiring to me and him, sean. what do you think of the apples ipad? it's ace, we have got it to run max, msp, and so on. on our label, 12k, we have an album entirely done on ipad, it's called "IPOD" and it's released by Guescom -- which is us mostly. is rob hall a dj? totally what's for the future? eden. i know a lot of people are cynical because the big bosses and fat men are running the world to a halt and the ground but if you just buy the newest equipment from such sites as harmony central, best buy, eBay, etc it shouldn't be a problme. people have gotta man tracks in this age part words? stay healthy and give it a dick.

i met up with sean booth, one half of autechre (ae) and talked about everything from the duo's new album to horror films, even to what his mum's favorite sarny is innit. so, how does oversteps compare to your previous records? well, it's much better. we use a lot of melodies and wrote it on a kyma system MIDI'd up to some old roland drum machines we bought from moby. that bloke is a vegan, lol would you say it's more emotional than, say, Quaristice? nah what was different about your work methods? well, rob and i met back in 2001 and we've been working with pretty much the same equipment over in his dad's attic. so, this time around, we just did the same old shit. i usually make the beats and the melodies and he usually records it into his computer. then i master it and he plays about with his two kids. then i do the artwork. under your alias TDR? yeah, you've done yer research mate! thanks! what records inspired this album? ugh, i'd have to say "amber," "incunablua," "drukqs," all by autechre. and i guess mira calix, cuz she's my mate. do you buy a lot of new records? not really,...well, yeah, i by 'em off discogs a lot. i've got like every atom tm record. but mostly i buy mp3s off itunes. itunes is lush! do you think it's possible to make music after 9/11? nah how do you cope with the trauma of war? work on tracks, innit? are you going to tour in america for this album? no, just europe and mexico. mexico is fucking lush! are you working on any new tracks at the moment? yeah. are they any good? yeah. i've got one with this epic crescendo, like huge, fucking half hour crescendo. i'm calling it "bolero" by ravel. ever read watmm? yeah, i'm ET on there. lol what else is going on in your life these days? i'm making some kids with the missus, that's well lush. rob and i are doing yoga together too but with the distance we have to do it together on skype. nirvana is lush. when's the next album coming out? later this year, autumn prob. autumn is lush. thanks for talking with me! lush mate.

you're reading a movie? epic

in the early 90s sean booth and rob brown met through a mutual friend. setting aside their bmx bikes and spray paint canisters (you can still see "sean was here" graffiti-ed on walls across manchester's seedier parts) they began making mix-tapes, finding that they loved the same tunes although sean was more into the acid bits while rob leaned more towards sound design. at one point they broke a friend's kit. they quickly introduced roland tr606 and roland juno106 into their mixes and by the time they got their first roland mc202 you couldn't tell what parts of the mix were booth/brown and what parts were the original. after signing on warp they put out "incunabula" a melodic ambient record that was weirder and less hardcore than their debut "cavity job." tracks like "maetl" and "autriche" laid down the template for their obscure track titles which they never abandoned (over their career listeners have been faced with puzzling gems such as "bine," "yulquen," "liccflii," "wtf," "lol," and "omgwearel33thax0rs.") by the time they put out "chiastic slide" in the late 70s they had already begun to polarize their fans into two separate groups: those who liked the more melodic, ambient autechre and those who were into the more drill n baths style with the fucked up beats. sean said they did a bunch of mushrooms. then lp5 came out and people were like "jesus, wut?" this changed music forever. "draft 73" (the inspiration for prefuse 73's nom de plume) was unlistenable, but so was "confield" which is all algorithms on max/msp which generates all the tracks, they just press space bar. sean gets completely pissed when blokes come up to him at the bars and show him max patches they made on their laptops. richard d james likes "confield" but thinks the rest of their shit is quite daft really. always controversial autechre plays their more danceable shows with the lights off. in america the crowds just stroke their beards and adjust their glasses but in the UK they go nuts on the dance floor. "quaristice" came out in a bunch of different versions, one of which was limited to 1 copies and sold out in 7 months. it's basically just a compilation of live tracks b/c their studios weren't set up b/c they were moving out of their parent's house (they are brothers). "oversteps" is a return to form, basically a re-hashing of "incunabula" but with computers.

does anyone remember when encey made that epic seinfeld post a few years back? i would like to read that again... mo

amazing

This. lol

I don't think an artists amount of effort should be defined by how much work was done by manual input or automatic choices made by a computer. All that matters in the end is how its going to effect you on a base level also, word up awepittance.

wtf is my track by track doing lost in this fucking mega turbo clusterfuck thread? i do not think it best serves the community in this thread

has anyone figured out if it's "dicks, eat 'em" or "this is IDM?"

hm

obviously you haven't heard the song, n00b

WOW
