  1. i never liked rage against the machine. something about hearing "anti-establishment" songs on top-40 radio stations and being able to buy their cd at wal-mart never sat well with me.

     

    that said, i found their song "renegades of funk" to be especially insulting. it's like zach de la rocha decided that we're ignorant about funk music and decided to teach us a lesson from the top40osphere.

  2. being in Montreal I'm in the middle of the acousmatic scene, folks like francis dhomont and robert normandeau, who are all about setting up big multichannel systems in spaces and using a great deal of dynamic range.

     

    Acousmatic music is a form of electroacoustic music that deals specifically with acousmatic sound as a compositional resource. The practice has a historical basis in musique concrete. It can be created using non-acoustic technology, exists only in a recorded format (as a fixed medium), and is composed for reception via loudspeakers. The compositional material is not restricted to the inclusion of sonorities derived from musical instruments or voices, nor to elements traditionally thought of as 'musical' (melody, harmony, rhythm, metre and so on), but rather admits any sound, acoustic or synthetic. With the aid of various technologies, such as digital signal processing tools and digital audio workstations, this material can then be combined, juxtaposed, and transformed, in any conceivable manner. In this context the compositional method can be seen as a process of sound organisation: a term first used by the French composer Edgard Varèse[1]

     

    holy FUCKING SHIT i swear i'm just going to go back and listen to lady gaga and start dancing pointlessly in the hope that my being a low-iq heathen will offset at least 10 of you acousmatic scene fucks.

     

    THERE IS NO ACOUSMATIC SCENE. THERE ARE ONLY SUPPORT GROUPS!

  3. The hydrogenaudio tests above are hardly convincing--firstly they are on home user equipment. There is no 16 vs 24 bit test in that link. Having spent a chunk of my life around audio professionals, I assure you, a trained ear, in a decent room, on decent gear, will be able to tell 16-bit from 24-bit. 16-bit has nowhere near the noise floor or dynamic range of 24-bit. And no, you wan't be able to tell the difference on a pair of Ipod headphones. Try an isolated room with a pair of dynaudio air 25's and yes, you probably would.

     

    having spent a chunk of my life around god, i assure you, a trained theosophian, in a decent room, on decent gear, will kick more ass than anyone who worries about those 8 bits which seperate us all.

  4. There was once a time where I would be excited about a new Squarepusher album, but I really don't find his new direction (and the overall 'sound') of any of his stuff since Ultravisitor particularly arresting. It's been pretty much a clear downward spiral with him, imho.

     

    i'll look past the first two paragraphs and hope you're a girl: marry me!
