DerWaschbar Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) I've been reading a bit about this on and off over the past year or so. I find it fascinating, but I can't claim I understand it very much. I have watched a few of his lectures and listened to a small portion of his music, I'm unfortunately limited up here by how much media I can absorb by the high cost of bandwidth ($80 for 30GB a month, $10 for each GB over) and also limited in my ability to follow him, as he is incredibly quirky and references material and ideas I'm not very familiar with. I thought I would reach out here and see if any one had explored this and what you had gathered from it, if you have experimented with any of the ideas. I also live in a bit of a cultural vacuum in many ways, so if you have had any experience with this in a live setting I would love to hear your impressions. A few resources: Goodiepal Radical Computer Music http://vimeo.com/11152592 This one gives you great impression of the man http://video.reboot.dk/photo/485236 Also, get a load of that moustache! I trust the man immediately. Edited March 12, 2011 by DerWaschbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fox Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 i'm not sure i get the point. there seems to be way more theory than there is actual pleasing sound, and if i may quote nassim nicholas taleb: A theory is like medicine (or government): often useless, sometimes necessary, always self-serving and on occasion lethal. So it needs to be used with care, moderation and adult supervision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it needs to be used with care, moderation and adult supervision There is definitely a lack of adult supervision going on there. I sometimes enjoy getting wrapped up in paranoid delusions of a dystopian future and I had been reading a bit about Ray Kurzweil and his timeline for the evolution of artificial intelligence, rampant spread of nano machines etc. When I stumbled upon this fellow it really added a whole other surreal atmosphere to the thing. I think the idea is to make music in a way that a machine would find challenging and rewarding like we do and if thats correct it tickles me that he's really into it and trying to get his head around how to do it. It's all very fanciful I suppose, but it stirs my imagination. very Tim and Eric I think they all emerged from the Black Lodge together. Thanks Squee for the samples. I enjoyed them.

eh Speedy Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Maybe you didn't hear me. Self promotional attempts are admirable, but we're not stupid (and are offended that you think we are). and in the future, less gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganus Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I fucking love Goodiepal. I can never tell when he's dead serious and when he's fucking around. Also Mort Aux Vaches is amazing musically. Seriously though, if you want an interesting read, read his wikipedia article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodiepal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is where my love of raccoons comes from, the main survival skill seems to be the drive for mischief. Anyways, I hope my previous post wasn't interpreted as provocative, I was just having a bit of fun. I really am interested in this, it's just so beautifully strange. Maybe one day if we are all ghosts in the web of nano machines you and me, Kurzweil and Goodiepal will all be having a laugh whilst listening to four dimensional music resonating out of moon speakers as the sun explodes.

He has a wicked nerd punk thing going on. I have decided to breach my bandwidth cap in order to listen to Mort Aux Vaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
