Xltronic actually died like 9 years ago and those who are left come here for a minute to feed on its corpose like worms Where do you really go, when you sit on your computer? me sadly I'm on reddit looking and pcgame news and psychedelics. I like the autechre subreddit more than xltronic too, which is lame. |You can actually discuss a track. At almost 38 years old, I started watching some twitch. I found a good streamer named quin69 who plays my current favorite game (Path of Exile). He was a big name for making builds in diablo 3 and he's pretty fun to watch, not woke or annoying. I avoid the news, twitter, facebooks and the rest. Where do you go? P.S. I googled xltronic discord invite but all the links were expired i'm not cool enough to join really, cause I'm not british. |

if anyone wants to talk about an autechre track i'm here for you baby all end (on NTS 4) might be my favorite tune of theirs now. I don't revise favorites casually, prior to this I'd have said Sim Gishel (2001) or Dial (2002). I wrote it off as "yeah sounds like Tim Hecker" the first time I heard it, but I listened to it on acid and it changed everything. It's a digitial soup of tiny sounds, their most genertive, digital sounding shit in ages (probably since lentic catachresis on confield). I rode on the back of a sleek, truly giant white turtle that was being laser printed in the distance for an hour listening to this on LSD, it was fantastically epic. |

this thread is my midlife crisis. Let me be 20 again for just a moment. Marlowe trying to call me out for my "american ignorance." making dogshit tunes in fruityloops. putting on prosthetic elf ears before an insane clown posse concert. |

ty for invite. Had not heard of limmy, but checked out some of his clips and he . Mostly I just watch path of exile stuff in the background while playing myself. It's sort of like having a pretend friend in the room. |

i dont, thats where. keeping busy in the real world. when im online its mostly for downloading media, ordering stuff or finding out whats going on. dont communicate much and mostly live like a hermit. |

i am kind of feeling that. i work remote along with many, and actually my cow-orkers are reasonably good company. then i've been at the computer for a while and let's walk miles and miles. quit another large social network that's become more pain than pleasure. oh, my email server is now very broken. i'm probably missing lots of email i am not joking. in all respects, i should probably be in a panic. but, i dunno, i think i might just go for a walk before i give a shit. perhaps even a jog |
||||||||

never regretted a walk, which i cannot say about spending time fixing pc issues. probably even fixed a lot of issues having an absent mind among the trees. |

wolfslice: this place mutated to the diaries of madmen as opposed to its once primary function of active communication and information exchange. thats probably the reason why im still here. |

i have all reply notifications turned off on all online platforms. i scream into the void and when the void attempts to scream back, it's screams fall silent upon me. the internet is now for normies and therefore of little interest to me. it's only a vessel for me to mock them, which can be done on any website. though i'm glad that the very nature of this website and it's content is normie repellent. so it may be dead, but one of the few reasons i've come back to it lately and dabble with it here & there is that it is one of the last untainted pockets of the internet. it still feels like 1999 in here, so party like it. |

I've noticed ;p This thread even is probably too "concise" for current xlt. Sorry guys! I don't share your desire to only listen to the ramblings of madmen though. That's always been a part of xltronics dna, but I actually want to to talk about music, vidja games and other stuff :( Reddit sucks, but it'll do in a pinch. Never could get into WATMM, it's like enemy territory or something. |

oh, psssh, you drama beans, you. i'm more tiresome than mad. frankly, if another dozen or so people rolled in and posted once, twice a week it'd no longer feel like you're drowning in a stew of the six people who post regularly |

also i made a very legit thread about where exactly do you low cut the bass and i'm thinking about physics, harmonics, all this. i am not just shooting the shit; i want answers. and i'd actually trust the answers i get from this crowd more than i would posting that anywhere else but no just get grief |

i guess it's like... i have plenty of people to talk about with things, even in person should i so feel, but there are certain things i just can't take nowhere else. like how, i dunno, 2007 or something i'm in the shower, and i'm playing back "future proof" by massif attax in my hed and i'd been told by, like, the waxploitation dude, if you want the the $$, it's in getting your trax licensed in ads, and the opening to future proof is just supa-cleva lookit that smirnoff ad that alone, was, well, dead accurate, and a lot to digest. but then it's two or three years later, and i'm listening it in my hed in the shower, and i realize: the intro is good but the rest is even more clever the first couple minutes of the song is a slow, snoozy rize. like, if you press down on one of your hands with the other for a bit, then stop, it floats up. you're floating up and up. future proof but nothing is, nothing is and then the slowrize runs out of steam. you're almost still for a moment. you slowly start to fall you're plummeting. you're hitting terminal velocity and starting to catch on fire. you're starting to spin and gyrate and hurl and fuck me this guitar solo buried in here is fucking good and ...fwoomp, 3:38, a heap of slag buries itself in the dirt in kazakhstan that this is about the doomed nature of assuming you can completely future-proof anything. the slowrize, the plummet. i like afx a lot but i'm not sure he ever did anything this clever. and, i dunno, my cow-orkers are smart chaps, but i can't really walk this one over to them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...shoot, yeah, the intro itself. very solid statement of intent in the context of what i've just described. simple boop. boopboo and it's, subjectively, multiplying off itself, the spiral of reflections becoming harder and harder to follow. makes total sense give my take on the overall structure of the song |

there is something to be said for having to type up a whole post at once, and wait hours; possibly days -- for someone to write back. it's very much a different mindset than discord, which is one of those brain-hacking shitbags with weekly dopamine targets a la black mirror. but you don't have to take my word for it [levar burton] |
||||||||

|||||||||

|

thinking on it, the best afx tracks have some sort of direction to them. nannou was about someone, windowlicker was a sendup [or so he claim], crying in your face just some emotion; no context provided. but still quite clear. then, wait, what happened? it's like the tetris effect, but i'm hallucinating jokey virus names that some of his best have been when he's in a mood [crying in your face] and that some of the better ones are kind of just synesthetic candy [canticle drawl, that is like licking a 9v battery. the taste mostly] but i struggle to think of a moment when... i dunno. the great man himself actually had a serious point to make, rather than a vibe to communicate, or a cool trick to show off. when i make music, i'm mostly just enjoying myself, and i figure he is too. but i look at future proof and it's kind of like... huh. this is very, very deliberately structured. it has a point to make, and it makes it brilliantly. but actually in a very very sneaky way i suppose it's just impressive to me how effectively someone was able to make a philosophical point with some synths and drugs and guitar noise and paranoia. |

[spoiler alert for video linked in previous post -- beware!] actually, really, i feel that's close to what i'd like to do, generally: 1) vinyl cop comedian has been left with the piano unattended and rightly decides to play something as flagrantly terrible as he can on ray manzarik's personal, daily-driver piano. in deliberate anticipation of being caught by ray manzarik 2) ray manzarik catches him [as planned] and shoos him aside, saying: "wait, wait, i think i hear something in this" 3) by ear, he more or less manages to faithfully replay vinyl cop comedian's keysmashing, then it's like he does a crossfade into "light my fire" vinyl cop comedian, you wouldn't know because ray is killing it and you're watching him... but, shit, now what? 4) yours was nice, but it was a bit derative ray's face. lol. he'd just sent it right back but he wasn't expecting the guy to reorganize and come back again in any case, seems quite a perfect gentlemen. funny, sorted, situationally aware. taking notes |

looks like utter fun, how on earth did the cop exactly replay his derivate?1 he either practiced this beforehand or insisted on replaying until he hit it again can someone to call the vinyl police to my place now? and yeah he seems a jolly fellow, love how he erupted unfolding the hendrix gatefold. he clearly loves it while watching over his own shoulder and chuckling about himself. i feel that. |

how on earth did the cop exactly replay his derivate?1 he either practiced this beforehand or insisted on replaying until he hit it again wait, what? he was just smashing around? and manzarik sat down, replayed his recent few arbitrary smashes from memory and then crossfaded into light my fire the cop's was crap... but, maybe this is what you mean: i give it 50/50 that was all improvised. if it was, manzarik was off for a smoke or a coffee for 20 minutes and the cop got bored and thot, "i'll just make terrible noise so he comes back." this feels utterly realistic. equally realistic is, well, i doubt rehearse, but they worked up the scenario beforehand: can we, like, have you interrupt me abusing your piano? and ray's all: sure, yeah, i'll just go off for a bit and when i hear like it's about the moment i'll come back and react. then he goes off for a smoke or a coffee and thinks about how he'll react i was never some massive doors fan. in fact, i really knew about jim morrison; saw the val kilmer transition movie, etc. and i knew his name and he was the keyboardist but that was pretty much it. when i died, i actually thought: it's that wonderful man from that youtube video i always wanted to meet him after seeing that. i'd probably feel it on the music if i knew it better, but, no, that vid's actually why i was sad when he died. and also surprised -- he seems so sharp and with it; young almost. you don't expect someone like that to just go anytime soon sorry mermaidman. sometimes it's just an oddly deep topic; i've wandered in without even realizing. and now i'm stuck here. dedicated. writing |

I've read all the responses and EpicMegatrax poops. I have nothing to add. Instead I'm going to use to this space to talk about "The British." I don't know what it is but you guys really make the best music. Autechre? Aphex? Pink fucking Floyd? Burial etc Why is this? Maybe because it seems like you guys have access to good psychedelics. If you do your research, in interviews everyone of those artists cites them as a reference. I have never ever really enjoyed a female rapper before in my life. Rap should be hard as fuck, and women aren't hard. Until I found this british chick Shygirl. Fuck MF DOOM, motherfucker was soft as hell. It's shygirl for me. This track is banging. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The "Slowthai" guy that comes in towards the end of the track fucks it up with his annoying chav flow. Leave it to Shygirl to bring the heat on this one. |
||||||||

is the hardest rap I have ever heard in my life. Brotha Lynch Hung's verse on Doomsday Productions- Black Market (1994). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hardest track could also be Lynch's verse on with Sicx. Recorded 1992. Sicx is a convicted pedophile serving life in prison now. Lynch is reformed heroin addict. These are not good things, but to be hard you cannot be good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to be clear, I recognize how ugly those tracks are. But good rap should be funky, and it should be ugly. Softness is not a virtue in rap. I'll smoke some DMT and listen to Brian Eno to feel the love the rest of the time I love trees, and the moon, and you, zilty people. See you on discord. |
