I like the slow fade of "All End", but it kinda turns into Ravedeath 1972 at some point (strong resemblance) Edit: or is it Virgins? either way
-
Fuck a Spotify. I'm just tired today, is all. These NTS sessions are dope "AF"
-
Why can't Autechre be CHILL, just once. "carefree counter dronal" COULDa been chill, but NO--it's gotta be all spazzin' out. Ok, the latter third of NTS 2 is semi-chill. but, shit, man. WTF is up w/ the mighty Aut' nowadays..? jkl;

Well, programming tracks on Elektron boxes isn't exactly "playing" music, now, is it? I mean, it's programming a computer to fire off a series of events, with pre-determined parameters, special parameter locks, logic conditions, automation, etc. There's a performance aspect of 'mangling' sounds on the fly (turning knobs, muting trigs, "control-ALL", etc.), live... but, for the most part, the music is programmed--it's not played, directly. There's not a whole lot of difference between that, and working with software. Weren't Quaristice and Untilted made with Elektron machines? "Jamming" on Elektron boxes? yeah, right. edit: btw, these new jams are fucking gorgeous, for the most part.

Anybody know if these will be four unique sets, or several variations on one set - like AE_LIVE (?)

I believe there's still a healthy market for a larger, more 'breathable' UI / layout... some people are tired of the tiny objects trend. Honestly, after watching a video of Cuckoo showcasing an unfinished OP-Z, it looks painfully small.. of course, that doesn't detract from the tremendous functionality of the thing, it just doesn't look very playable--it looks fiddly as f*ck.
-
I can't lie, parameter-locking and some of the other automation features make it feel like working in Logic, or Audacity et al.. I suppose that's what makes Elektron boxes so cool? They're not very instant - a whole lot of preparation is involved. A:B logic is a fun, if math-heavy exercise when thinking about sounds and their duration.

The Digitakt doesn't work like a true bypass mixer.. if you're sequencing a synth, the only way to process its signal with the Digitakt is by the sampling / monitoring function. You'll need a mixer with Aux send(s) to process (sample) the synthesizer, while simultaneously playing it (out to monitors / speakers etc.) - or multiple outputs on the synth. Using single-cycle waveforms, along with samples, the Digitakt can function as a limited synthesizer.

Yamaha Reface DX would be cool at $300... I just don't like the feel of the Korg membrane / keypad--feels chintzy. It looks like there were some pre- Dec. 31st deals at Juno - Yamaha Reface keyboards for approx. $275 USD. The CP (sold out) sounds pretty sweet, but it's more of a want than a need. They look well-built, very playable

these guys popped up on the Elektronauts forum several months ago... pretty nice

I think they've succeeded in making a better show than Breaking Bad, with everything they've learned so far. I couldn't give a shit about fan service "easter egg" bullshit.. the characters are great, plot is interesting, the atmosphere is palpable, and the way they've been executing the exposition has been masterful. Thinking back about Breaking Bad, there's so much nerve-wracking, even grating action, BCS is delightful in comparison. The rumour is that some "dark" shit is going to go down this season.. it'll be interesting, at least.

maybe it's my stereo setup, but this album sounds fucking great at high volume--so dry and full, it's massive-sounding without hurting the ears. anybody get a similar impression?

What the ___k happened to Marti?
-
err, thanks

there was the one woman w/rifle (Bojana Novakovic?), she was hanging out w/Teddy spaghetti. She gunned down that surly/belligerent baldman in town, and then went on Teddy's quest for Wyatt. Then she? tripped a booby trap/wire and they were swarmed by Wyatt's (?) acolytes at night. Teddy got mauled, but she managed to escape? there's a loose end... it looked like she was having a good time. Bojana Novakovic
-
not sure why people are craving so much more exposition.. the gradual unfolding and progression of the plot seems straightforward and not overly cumbersome (or too vague) in its complexity
-
yeah, it's definitely one of the more ambient/pleasant parts of the album. i hesitate to call it ambient cuz other parts of the album are quite jarring/lively. that soundcloud excerpt is the track that closes the album, it's not characteristic of the entire thing this is the first track on Hidden Tapes... both albums were recorded around the same time, and they share similar elements. I was afraid that Un salon... might be a sort of leftovers album, but it's a great series of tracks. i get a strong emotional vibe from it this is some live performance.. hands-on tape/machine fuckery
-
Marc Baron's recent release on Potlatch, Un salon au fond d'un lac, is super playable.. primarily made of tape music/tape machine sounds, it's nicely varied with a consistent melancholy vibe throughout. Both this album and Hidden Tapes are among the best noise/sound art albums I've heard over the last couple years. FYI, it's not super abrasive or "power" noise, or whatever. http://www.potlatch.fr/ https://soundcloud.com/marcbaron/un-salon-au-fond-dun-lac-extrait

story seems to be moving along fairly quickly? it's like, things are happening in each episode; events, action, plot advancement..
-
third ep didn't have my favorite Radiohead song on a piano roll - show is falling apart. (it's as engaging as ever). Teddy is more interesting now, new guest is way into it. Will.i.am's feeling it. Ford has a nice office

eastre is good meditation. a drone reshuffling itself every ten seconds or so
-
it's a ridiculous waste of material (that packaging), seems a reasonable move to simplify it. I keep the disc in a cd-r tray, to avoid having to open that bullshit over and over.
-
the first part of Fleure is great, i wish there was more material on the album that sounded like it. it doesn't remind me of other ae tracks, it doesn't sound standard or "stock"--what the problem is?
