in the "too old; didn't read" compartment, look up the formation of rock band "cream"
cream dream, right, warp records signing james ford for... pink droid? you're an electronic music label, and listen to what james ford has done, and this is what you're investing in? but perhaps it's simply what ford wants to do at the moment and he was simply shopping for someone who'd have it and in that case, shelf my whole complaint; god bless.
but yeah, i thought i'd make a new thread for this:
i saw [squarepusher] in boston for ufabulum, and, you could barely see him. but brilliant patterns of flashing lights. i saw autechre either same place or just down the street years back, and they just... you know, pushed buttons. that squarepusher had all these anal-retentive lite-brite patterns going on and frankly, autechre, taking fucking note, that was way more interesting, really
opening up for autechre was masonix and he's snuggling an oboe and a juggalo and a saxaphone and i remember feeling: if he just had someone backing him up this could kill it, but instead this is just kind of frustrating, i can feel him being frustrated
and let's scramble all this. autechre is on some drum machines. squarepusher has spent god-level computation time programming grids of lights but he's banned from touching them for the show itself. masonix does whatever he likes.squarepusher has to play bass. autechre has to figure it out. the biggest challenge for squarepusher, if i am getting this at all correct, will be that his preprogrammed lights are wrong for xyz improvisation. after a few rounds of this, slap him, play back a recording, and show how it actually
worked out far better than he could ever see from where he was sitting. relax man
and again. maybe i have it all wrong. who knows

but, dear warp records: this is just a helpful thot. masonix going off in direction(s), squarepusher's preprogrammed lights not quite fitting, him technically trying to keep up on bass w/ direction(s), then autechre with some elektron machines doing their best to augment the madness
[and... is any of that going to happen? no? well how 'bout this: if you want me on this, i'm on a mixer with a bunch of boss delay pedals and an arturia microfreak]
but probably just bin the details; the supergroup idea. i have to say. could work

larger context the missing reading. that is, if, like -- you've the patience to acquire the data for, "that was long, but i think i understand his arc of thinking now" and i figured i'd offer it while emphasizing it's not required for my point in #02626256 -- great post #! -- to stand
