zkom Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Do most people have a goth phase??! (sorry, probably something subjective I'm missing lol, just makig sure I can add "goth phase" to my excel spreadsheet of phases I missed". there are maybe four paths to idm. "goth" -> industrial -> idm (i got into aphex through nin and nothing records) autism (it sounds like my video games and i see norse gods fighting in the sky when i listen to drukqs) mortal kombat soundtrack -> the prodigy "funky shit on the event horizon soundtrack"/pi soundtrack/matrix soundtrack -> idm (lesser autism) and then there's being british, which means you're probably around fifty years old and went to raves in the eighties, but most of these people are dead. I think I got into IDM via ambient music. Like Autechre and Boards of Canada being mentioned in the ambient forums (or news goups..) and Aphex played in Chill Out Zone. I think there is also the path for people who think they appear intelligent if they listen to something that is being called intelligent. Same with the "progressive" genres.

user Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) Rented a small studio space for super cheap but now I have no idea what to do with all the extra space in the living room. Moved the couch to an optimal listening position but now there's this weird bit of room leftover behind it. fml Definitely had a heavy goth phase but moved on to multicoloured nail polish pretty quickly. By then aphex was already deeply embedded within me and my life. So deeply. Embedded. Within. Edited September 4, 2018 by user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr_Nova Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 NIN/industrial was kind of my way in, in that I started making electronic music inspired by those things... but more melodic and less repetitive. When my friend heard the music I was working on he said it pretty much sounded like IDM, then burned me a comp CD with Autechre, Plaid and Squarepusher. Another friend lent me Geogaddi around this time, and I bought Confield. I had heard the Aphex NIN remixes long before that though, not sure why it didn't open the floodgates much sooner. FWP - didn't discover IDM until it was on its way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squee Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I spent 3 hours doubting a mix I did for a commercial that'll be shown in cinemas later this month. The leq(m) measurements were fine, but it seemed awfully loud to me. Turns out Waves' WLM Meter was set to Multi Mono instead of 5.1. I ended up trying out NUGEN's VisLM2 instead. It's good.

Guest Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Bought a second hand po-33 KO from a Dutch ebay-like site which according to a track & trace service had been delivered last Tuesday. I think the postman is still playing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly unlikely you'd be denied for that. looks like ive been denied, also flattened by beauracracy. had to submit additional documents, but the website flatout refuses to pick up my ETA application and link it to a GCkey so they can tell me what documents. if its documents from my arrest i dont have them anyway. 3 business days for a help request and im flying monday morning. its my own fault for forgetting that im a hardened criminal, id probably have had time to sort all this out if id done it last month.

ambermonk Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) Kale in kimchi. It's this "organic" variety I purchased @ Costco. But none of the Korean restaurants I know in town would ever put fucking kale in their kimchi.I only want the real deal from now on. No more of this pretentious "organic" bullshit.

ambermonk Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Sorry for the rant. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of food products Costco gets right. All I'm saying is kale does not belong in kimchi. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr_Nova Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Find a coworker you dislike and offer to fix them a coffee. I think you know where I'm going with this. Probably say something like "I hope you like cream in your coffee" as you hand it to them, and wink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zkom Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) I should have a "stupid first worlder problems in third world" thread.. I'm in a quite shady inn in Gaborone, Botswana. The room is pretty dimly lit to begin with, the light bulbs are just very low power. The view from window is a concrete wall about 1m away so very little sunlight can get in. The electricity and the internet connection goes on and off. So I'm almost in the dark some of the time. There's some industrial machine that makes shit ton of hissing noise outside and something that sounds like a giant clock ticking. I'm also taking mefloquine as malaria prevention which causes me to have weird dreams occasionally, particularly just after the weekly dose. This all combines to a very David Lynch like atmosphere. Like I'm in Eraserhead or some shit. Well, at least I haven't seen any giant spiders here yet. Edit: but cheap and decent location mind you (except that there are drunkards and hanging out just outside all day) Edited September 11, 2018 by mokz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
