[Guest Dr. Elemeno von Hat X: PhD]

neat, thanks.

 

Weidenbaum: In the time of Bach, people would write tunes based on their friends or loved one's names, each letter become a note. It's still done today, a kind of parlor game.

 

James: You'd have to have the right name. I don't know what the note K sounds like.

 

german notation actually has an H note, and so Bach stuck his name in that way. there's not really a K in music, but the -ch in Bach is somewhat close. a thought.

[Guest Mr. Magoo]

theres only 12 chromatic notes in the scale right?

 

i wonder ifs it possbile to detune say for instance note c between c#, you would have a whole nother range to work with.

 

is that possible? like C C^1 C^2 C# C#^1 C#^2 ???

[Guest Dr. Elemeno von Hat X: PhD]

that's what he meant by microtones, basically.

[Josso]

Yeah I was about to say, microtones could be introduced and named as other letters. You could double the 12-note system to 24 for example, and just in-between frequencies.

[Josso]

So, inbetween C and C# would be our mystery note at 527.202Hz

 

Think I calculated that wrong though.

[Guest sqruwezey]

This interview from Muzik Magazine in 1996 when Mike & Rich came out has a lot of interesting stuff in it, primarily because they just got Mike and Rich very drunk on vodka and recorded them bickering. I had the magazine when it came out and then for a very long time I don't think this interview was on the internet anywhere until the lannerchronicle re-published it:

https://lannerchronicle.wordpress.com/2020/08/02/the-odd-couple-mike-rich-interview-1996/

They essentially slag each other off quite a lot, in a laddish way but also in a way that you can see some of what they really think creeping in. And you get a sense of their personalities at the time. Lets just say that if you had to choose which one of them to be stuck in a lift with for six hours you'd definitely choose Mike.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Rich: “What’s up with you, Mike? You didn’t used to talk this much. I suppose the fame must have affected your personality.”

Mike: “No, I was just always quiet with you because you try to play games with people’s heads. You’re like a bully. And what you do with bullies is ignore them so they go away.”

...

Rich: “I don’t want to work with any electronic musicians for a while. But I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on you. Did you know that Mike’s girlfriend has an Aphex Twin tattoo on her ankle?”

Mike: “It’s only little.”

Rich: “I was thinking about it the other day, wondering how you are going to explain it when you kid asks, ‘What’s that on mummy’s leg?’.”

...

Mike: “You don’t do any promotion for the label. It’s crap.”

Rich: “What do you expect? We are just a couple of boys from Cornwall. We don’t know how to run a label.”

Mike: “Is that why people don’t know ‘Bluff Limbo’ has been re-released? And why you’ve sat on my best stuff?”

Rich: “We are waiting for Virgin to put money into promoting your next µ-ziq album before we release the older stuff.”

Mike: “Crap.”

 

Also has a picture of the famous tank.

Weird thing out of YouTube comments RE: the tank--somebody said: "Put two and two together folks. They don't let just anyone have access to tactical/weaponry stuff in Britain. RDJ has Royals somewhere in the line". I was curious if that had any traction. I always saw it as a working class hero tale of dad in the mines and mum at home but it feels "truthy" in a way.
