cruising for burgers Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) c'mon spill the beans... but at the same time use constructive criticism, like if you're giving tips in the YLC subforum... or not, just diss... worst afx track if you will... I bet if Richard is lurking around the forum he's gonna find it interesting... just like u do when someone gives u feedback on one of your songs on YLC...

Dragon Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 RDJ told us in one of his soundcloud comments that when he first listened to MHTRTC by Boards of Canada, he liked it, but he found himself no longer wanting to make music that has this sombre, melancholic feeling. i guess he was talking about tracks like An Eagle In Your Mind, Turquoise Hexagon Sun, and Pete Standing alone. apparently this was quite a significant thing to him, and from that point onwards it changed his approach to mood and atmosphere in his music. (wish i could find the original quote) i think it's fair to say that the sad, wistful melancholy vibing tracks by RDJ don't work very well. tracks like Slothscape (from soundcloud, which i think he actually commented was one of his least favourites) and then Nannou, which is a very pretty piece of sound design but not really very complex in terms of mood. i like Bbydhyonchord from drukqs but again, it's not very engaging and it sort of stays the same. there are other, more developed tracks like Mt Saint Michael, meltphace6, IZ-US and Fenix Funk 5. these tracks don't just sound "sad", they explore rich and complicated emotional territory. i think the main difference is positivity - for example, the breakdown in Mt Saint Michael. there's a great deal of hope, and optimism, as though you've witnessed something very rare and precious. or, more generally, you could look at the playful energy (eg Fenix Funk) in which these moods are explored. my least favourite RDJ track is probably Goodbye Rute. never understood what the big deal is, there are so few Tuss tracks. plus one of the new Tuss bonus tracks is basically the same track right? we're gonna hear a lot about the noise tracks in this thread so don't you dare come near the KTPA tracks from Smojphace they are absolutely sublime. ktpa1 is much more interesting in the space of seven minutes than about 90% of Merzbow's output. it could've been done in one take, it stops the moment it gets even slightly boring. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love posts like this here! Watch out for the big mods coming with the usual "music is subjective" talk I never seen that comment he made about MHTRTC by BoC but really want to read about it now.. he have a very special mind set. Yes I also think this totally melancholy feeling is not RDJ's strength at all. The most important comment he made was something about him doing so much music and he was aware of everything mostly being crap (Or a lot being crap) but of all his tracks some gems will be in there for sure! Yes he strength is like you mention Mt Saint Michael even XMD5a, Fenix Funk 5, Rushup I Bank 12 etc.. Every track evolves and goes on in different stages. Is like going from one emotion to another. Noise tracks is just experimental territory which is fine but I think least favorite is more like a very bad made track with yes no destination. But It is not Goodbye Rute. I can have that track on repeat..I understand for you maybe it is boring and melancholy but think about it like an ender B-side of a wild ride. Totally chill after the crazy Deathfuck track! I think the big deal of Goodbye Rute is the simplicity! And it just a repetitive dreamy synt track. GX-1 Solo is more "pointless" for me as it is more of a show off track because he owned the legendary GX1. I tried to recreate the Lead sound of GoodBye Rute with my own synth but I don't know if Im near the original: gr.mp3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems very wrong. They are his best tunes; Lichen, Rhubarb, Quino-Phec, Blue Calx, Red Calx, Pancake Lizard, Waxen Pith, Zeroes and Ones, Stone in Focus... There's an entire canon of masterfully melancholy Aphex. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoggy Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I guess stuff the Cheetah stuff - it's not bad per se, but it's frustratingly emotionally neutral and lacking some kind of motivation or sensitivity - but at the same time it's just creative and interesting enough to make me want to "get it". But I'm sure that in the right environment and in the right state of mind it would be perfect... I think, not sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
