Guest getting photons Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I thought it was common knowledge that all of the piano tracks on drukqs were the disklavier?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQUIDLID Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Ok, here's what it says in the booklet from Warp Works 20th century Masters: "John Cage and Aphex Twin both altered the machinery of the piano: Cage by inserting rubbers, screws and bolts into the mechanism, transforming it into a gamelan of detuned sounds, Aphex more simply, by laying chains across the strings." Hope that helps... Oh yeah, some cunt didn't check the grammar and spelling in that booklet properly before it was printed, I hope they got a good hiding!

Bubba69 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I would like to say that kladfvgbung micshk is somewhat processed and multitracked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr. Elemeno von Hat X: PhD Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 nanou2 sounds human a thought: since it's midi, he could very well have played out a few takes and recorded the _midi_ data, not the audio, then tweaked it to his liking... then sent the finished midi to the disklavier and recorded the audio...

Guest cyphersum Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I bet RDJ is quite enamored by this piano's capability as well, wouldn't doubt he's played with one. This is quite an interesting conceptual evolution to a traditionally prepared piano (which is purely mechanical in modification). http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~sbacker/empp/what.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tv_party Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I grew an extra arm specifically for these tracks you cunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr. Elemeno von Hat X: PhD Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 overdubbing allows anyone to achieve the illusion of multiple arms. ...but it takes some talent to do it with the feel of all the arms at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest transfer Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 i thought everybody knew what a prepared piano is...anyway most of the Cage stuff i heard is shit (sorry Johnny). he released an album with Sun Ra that totally sucked ass. don't be hatin on cage, the sonatas and interludes for prepared piano are wicked Cage has put out wicked music!! imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest transfer Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 i dont know jack shit. he might as well never have touched a real piano without a sequencer and uses the mouse for every single melody he makes, disregarding the fact that it takes ages compared to just playing the melody with the keyboard with some degree of proficiency im just guessing. learning to play an instrument is hard, but it's not that hard. it's infinitely harder to compose a full piece of good electronic music, and is the reason drukqs doesn't sound the same as surfing on sinewaves Surfing On Sine Waves is better than Drukqs imho.

Josso Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Yeah on most of the tracks there is some degree of editing, loops and slight alterations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aphex_Squarepusher_Twin Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Surfing On Sine Waves is better than Drukqs imho. OH! 4 me it's Drukqs which is better & richer than (Surfing On Sine Waves)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
