It's one of the best (probably the best) sonic moments of my life. It was amazing. I dunno if having had surgery and drunk far too much had much to do with it, but my goodness are they unique. No act like them. Top of their game. Wow. Can't stop thinking about it, and it's been a few days now. How the devil are you man? Miss ya, and really hope you're doing well. Glad the radio work is going well! |

a transcript would be helpful |

i think i said last time they can both be pretty hard to understand, but they understand each other well because they both speak the language of (electronic) music |
||||||||
|

|
|
i have a problem with spoken english since i never talk it, i get 1% of whats being said both by them and what tolstoyed is asking |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well maybe not 1% maybe 2 or 3, i understand when they say they make music with computer, they always say that isn't it? |

computers lol |

lol. well, apparently they have some digital to analogue converter. to make it sound beter, i assume. also they still mostly use max/msp, which you could describe as a pretty moody, in that it can give unexpected bugs during live sessions. that makes it more of an interesting challenge though. also they totally get what skrillex is going for, though it might not be their cup of tea. and his sound design is better than a lot of techno producers |

also during live performances they just put on a cd while browsing xltronic on their smart phone |

freqy is their favorite poster and they don't really get wavephace's humor |
||||||||

|
|
what do they say about idm? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that idm guys can be dismissive about edm, like skrillex, but that they're wrong |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
ok |

Not that they're wrong, per se. Just that, it makes sense to them (increasing the mid range on tracks like that), that it would have such an appeal to younger people, cos it sounds very rock 'n roll. They don't listen to it personally but they respect it. Generally they were talking about how knowledge of techno music in America is a relatively new thing (wikpedia knowledge as he says). Their audience is made up of the older guys who have grown up with them, and the younger kids woh are now checking them out, due to ae being considered part of techno history. They also talk about how some of the newer venues they play in have some really awesome sound systems, however they're not very good for hearing yourself play on stage. Kept waiting for the bit where they mention freqy lol |

freqy is the nicest poster imaginable (frustratingly so). So imagine that here! Are bootlegs around? I'll have to see if ssx still runs on my computer. Towards the end there was a segment with what I can only describe as deep chord stabs (some that last, so they're not really that stabby in as such they lasted a bit longer than a stab would, but begin very percussively), in between intricate work. Astoundingly pleasant. The chords were really loud and in your face, In fact 'exhilarating' describes how I felt better than 'pleasant'. It was more than just pleasing. It was like the best take on Leterel imaginable. RD heaven. I just regret being being so out of it after the show. I hung out with some really nice people and it's just a bit of a haze. I was struggling, but didn't realize it at the time. Im not sure how I managed. I hope me struggling to appear normal didn't come across the wrong way. I'm bound to have talked some rubbish! That's life I guess Don't miss out on this tour if they're playing near you. Bring people who don't know what to expect. Gotta mention Andy Maddocks and Russell Haswell. The former played nothing but awesome tracks including a lot of rare or unreleased stuff (and versions) while the latter dished out what I dare say was just lush sound after sound, ricochets, streams and palettes. ( can't rem for sure but he DJd at times too I think. He was experimental but not harsh. The opening acts worked really well with the main event. I thought it all flowed really wonderfully. The crowd loved the evening. Not just men, and chin-strokers, was nice to see women there too. You couldn't define the people as a genre. Aww what a night. |
