thats how new order did blue monday with a sync error i thi k |
||||||||
|

my best music is when i downloaded an algorhmic midi file i generatedfrom wolfram alpha and edited it a bit, but realised i couldnt use it cos it was cheating |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
would you be referring to that time they insisted on doing blue monday live rather then lip syncing, and promptly made an awkward mess of it? legend has it the band says "yeah that's top notch" and then the studio engineers crept in and did their best to make something coherent out of it, and then it went off to the vinyl factory |

"The song begins with a distinctive semiquaver kick drum intro, programmed on an Oberheim DMX drum machine.[12] Gillian Gilbert eventually fades in a sequencer melody. According to band interviews in NewOrderStory, she did so at the wrong time, so the melody is out of sync with the beat; however, the band considered it to be a happy accident that contributed to the track's charm" according to wiki so wasnt a midi sync error really |

back when ruby and python had not yet made everyone realize that perl is a terrible language, i wrote a thing to generate MIDI based on prime numbers. mash it through, fuss it around, not hard to get a wall of notes that sounded surprisingly alright |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that sounds like quite a good idea, like something coil would do with their tarot cards if they were more technically minded my brother knows perl i think he learnt it in university |

blade techno opener. such nostalgia. now it's hard to get away with causing that sort of confusion |
||||||||
|

|

confusion is a very good track, hardly aged at all |

i gave magick a serious stab for a year or two. eventually i realized it's like an API for chaos -- you can't touch that directly, you need a machine of metaphors to work with it. at that point i gathered the good ideas magick had and went my own route; mashing it with other good ideas from elsewhere. i like to say when you read tea leaves, you're reading yourself. it's a parlour trick to coax an answer out of the subconscious mind... like seeing things in the clouds. your brain takes everything it's got churning around and tries to stretch it across pure noise. what you see is entirely specific to your brain. sort of like a dream, where it's a collage of the most random shit and the revelations come when you decide a bit of it represents this or that in your life. |

yes its like a primitive random number generator, ive never dabbled in the dark arts myself |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im not sure if we had a school psychologist, we probaby could have done with one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that one came to visit just one time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, what was his expression? after you told him of your life |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he was concerned |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

|
|

||||||||
|
|

older generations, mental illness is still a taboo subject, they dont believe it really exists, you have to just get on with things apparently, buckle up like in one of those 1940s public information films |

i posted this thread with the smale on my face, while i was listening to one of this soundcloud tracks, |
||||||||
|

|

the flip side is that many things that are just casual, common problems get supersized into mental illness, and then people are all, "oh, i'm mentally ill, it's a condition, so i'm not obligated to improve" and go from trying to hide it to annoying everyone and telling them to fuck off and waving their trainable card around like a get out of jail free pass. even fifteen years ago i remember kids getting extra time on tests for ADD or some shit then finishing it in half that because they were on lots of amphetamines. |

there's some "movement" or "foundation" or something called "autism speaks." every time i see it, i think: "autism does not speak. it yells inappropriately!" the movment encourages the mums to yell as well: "how dare you not allow my child to make a scene at shaw's supermarket! he's autistic! he has the right to scream!" perhaps i'm a bit bitter because i never got cut that sort of slack growing up |
