Guest jasondonervan Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 well done jason work harder on it jason I suddenly remembered I had a day job... Don't worry, I'll still be cracking on with the 'chrechive as and when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modey Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'd say it's pretty likely since sunvox has only been around since '08.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 what aspect of it sounds like it? I've barely touched sunvox but it didn't seem to have a noticeable character to it's sound from what I remember. we got some interesting confirmations/denials on a lot of software or hardware techniques used in various songs, far more specifically than in any previous AE interview I've seen. Pretty fascinating stuff in here once it's all combed through. Even someone's question about sampling Merzbow was met with an un-promoted 'no we used a R8 triggering a ___ delay being sequenced with ___" type answer, pretty cool. Now i wish i really tried to get a straight answer about specific techniques on L-event for the autechre reverse engineering thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I dunno, it's just the most likely track, imo, out of everything they've released since 2008. It's relatively simple and doesn't contain any of the trickery that is present on most of Exai. I could be completely wrong though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bitroast Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 when i first heard exai, me and my brother kept referring to T ess xi as the snes track. kind of a combination of the chords used + the synths. i'd also be willing to bet that it was that track, too. (but yeah, who knows. it could also be deco Loc or something.!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 jasondonervan - as with your sterling work with the recent podcasts, hats off for the incredible amount of time you've put in with that google docs John Ehrlichman - Thanks for pointing out the 'physically modelled' question, I had missed it !

kausto Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 you can download desktop version of sunvox, it's free. win, mac, linux and so on when i was on summer vacations in the countryside, i made a lot of snippets experimenting with metamodules, made by sunvox forum enthusiasts (exciter, for example) i can share db folder, if someone interested you can also do various tracker tricks with sunvox, a'la stretching etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o00o Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I really liked the interview but they stayed pretty vague about their generative music software. I guess its to not spoil the magic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfxf Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 weren't they implying that they wrote their own? or did i misunderstand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thisfieldisrequired Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I really liked the interview but they stayed pretty vague about their generative music software. I guess its to not spoil the magic I think they stood vague because they're probably fed up being asked technical questions, as well as being seen as a purely technical act. Generative music in itself is really boring, it's those two souls, sean & rob that make it interesting, not the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generative music itself is really boring, it's those two souls, sean & rob that make it interesting, not the computer. Absolutely. Maybe more people will listen for the soul in their music now rather than just the technical impressive-ness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Plus I don't really think they do 'generative music' - It's usually LFOs (possibly triggering other LFOs to create a nice wave shape) triggering parameters. Generative suggests some sort of compositional seed that drives an algorithm, and listening to their stuff I really don't think it's the case.
