The lack of substantial improvements made me feel okay about my recent purchase of the first gen. The new one looks cool and probably feels great, but they're still mostly the same machine.

Music theory is definitely enlightening, yet provisional just like any other human system of knowledge. It's immature to ignore it. Only the naive reject it as authoritative. This is because they don't understand "it" well enough to know that "it" is merely descriptive. What is right is to take it on so you have some way of modeling aural phenomenon in terms of a larger temporal framework. For instance you hit a note that sounds "bad"; now instead of having a bias against that note you now know why it is sounding that way relative to other notes. It gets you out of a limited space and allows you to see relationships of pitch and rhythm in terms of broader meaning and schema which is fluctuating in time. In other words it helps you move from a static comprehension of sound to a relativistic one. You gotta' know the rules to break the rules.
Yeah, that.

AUtechre... AUtism.
Coincidence? I think not.
This theory is gold.

...well shit.
Edit: Even going back and trying to be conservative about my answers, I still end up with a 36.

I get the error as well on both Chrome and Firefox.

I feel like we've talked about theory a lot in the past, but I do enjoy a good theory discussion. However, I think most of the stuff I would say has already been said.
I'll be back later perhaps.

maybe not so much the soundtrack, but i dig the sound effects in this game. nostalgic value for me aswell
Holy shit! I forgot this game even existed. My cousins used to have it and we'd play it at their place. Craaaaaazy.

Are you guys familiar with ZUN? He's a guy who's done a series of shooting games called Touhou Project that's a huge phenomenon in Japan, comparable to Harry Potter or Star Wars. The coolest part is that he's an amazing composer, and there are hundreds of groups who cover his music in pretty much every genre you can think of. The electronic stuff tends to be very dance-oriented and a lot of it is dumb house or trance, but some of it is really good.
Yes! I've actually got a "U.N. Owen Was Her?" remix that's been collecting dust for a while.

Has anyone heard this album before? Because it's fucking awesome.

Have it. Love it.

There's a playlist out there of the tracks from this game. The music kicks ass.

I love Don Bluth. Secret of Nimh is up there with those as well.

Also, badass. I love this movie. I'm gonna check this out.

I played a show a while back where all of the bands played along to videos they had created or were mashing up with their music. One of the bands did some crazy trippy ambient scoring for this. Nearly lost my mind.

Absolutely brilliant machine. After a year of having it I bought the Monomachine. It's the best pairing in terms of gear I think I've ever come across. Can't wait for whatever Elektron have up their sleeve next.
everybody check out a few Futureimage albums at juno.com, some of the finest music i have ever heard using monomachines and machinedrums
Damn. No joke. You've got some sick stuff, futureimage.
This thread makes me wish I had money.

Step-wise motion
Rhythmic repetition
Avoid jumping more than a 5th too often
Something that is easily sung will generally make a decent melody
Good man.
-
Yeah! Kick ass remix compilation!
-
hey dude yer metamateria ep was great btw
Hey thanks man. I appreciate it.
New record should be done pretty soon. -
not sure if it's been mentioned but the first two Spyro games had amazing soundtracks, probably the best i've heard, which were surprisingly composed by the drummer from The Police.
Loved 'em.

In addition to my work on Eufloria I've done scoring work for the Discovery Channel and I've licensed out a bunch of my published works for use in various short films, web shows, and so on. The next "bigger" one is an independent film that will premiere at next year's Mutek festival which uses the track "Luke's Rusty Drum" from my 2007 album New Drugs For Nuclear Families Of The Seventies.
Nice! I'm really impressed. Perhaps you could PM me a little about how you managed to get into that kind of work? Making music for games and documentaries is my dream.
-
First off, thanks to the OP for mentioning my soundtrack - that's awesome!
Oh wow, you made the music for Eufloria? Badass! Great job man. Always neat to see when a watmmer's involved in something rad.
-
That was probably me. Ape Escape is my favorite game. This song is actually my ringer for my cell phone right now.

wahrk, where do you get a tapestry like that and for how much?
I got mine at Oat Willie's here in Austin (the south location to be specific) for something like $15-$20. It was actually made in India. Oat Willie's is a local Austin head shop chain.
-
lol @ attempt at sound baffling.
Yeah, it's a crappy poor man's attempt. There are some larger, more dense ones behind the tapestry and also behind the tapestry on the opposite wall. They help a little, and every little bit counts in this shitty apartment.
love the samadhi(?) blanket.
Ha ha, thanks. It was the coolest design I could find after looking around. Oms are nifty.

Oh hey, I guess I haven't posted mine. Here's my current setup:
Renoise
3Ghz quad-core, 64-bit, 4GB RAM, custom built computer
PreSonus Firebox interface
M-Audio DX4 monitors (soon to be upgraded, hopefully)
Grado SR-60 headphones
Akai APC40
Novation ReMote 49SL Compact MIDI keyboard
M-Audio Trigger Finger drum pad controller
Also in this photo are FL Studio, which I ended up using in conjunction with Renoise on this particular song (a rare occasion), my microKORG, which I don't use very much, and my sub, which I can't use in my new apartment.
Not pictured is my Fender American Select Stratocaster.
This is not the best example of the recent stuff made here, but it's the only one that's not on lockdown due to being part of an unreleased album. It's made entirely from one sample of a skylark singing. You best have a good sub.
New record should be done pretty soon.

Oh hey. I would do this.
