yea especially with robin playing the ukelele part live,
usually on treated electric guitar (like when i saw nin) but
on the dvd he plays an actual ukelele. i'm glad no one sings
the lyrics live, it'd sound silly. love the video!

*shock*

absolutely honey......ehhehehhe

i grew up with all dat stuff....opera, classical, debussy
(who is not considered a classical composer) he's fantastic
and i can see why trent.....being classically trained was
inspired by him! =0)

in dallas. that was really neat.

i only ask cos the nin version actually doesn't sound like
the debussy "original" at all; besides the title i think
trent just nicked a technique, not a melody.

of course, the cello solo in "even deeper" is supposedly
lifted from a debussy piece. unfortunately i lost my nin
"stolen riffs"/samples text file when my hd crashed in '00
and i can't remember which piece it was :(

yea, i don't think trent ripped much off the orginal with
that exception.

unlike crystal JAPAN.....ehhehe

i can't think specifically which debussy piece the cello
might have come from......i'd have to bring out the debussy
cd's i have and compare. i can't think of anything right
now.

someone on nin.com actually told me. she had attended a
debussy "concert" (recital, whatever) and heard the solo.

i used to be a pro cellist back in dallas...trent's cello
work is like his drum programming...if you know better then
it's weak...

i once tried making a project where every single sound was
my cello, but then i'd use various effects, and asdr
envelopes to make the sounds sound more like drums, etc...
it went well, until i had to move like 20 times in a month,
and somehow broke my bridge, and lost the HD...

if i still had more time (i have to move again around the
1st of july) i'd probably re-start playing around with
that...

anyways, with trent...i wish that he'd re-release the
fragile with all the original tracks...i've found tapes, and
other sources with all these snippets that were cut out of
the cd release...and let's not forget the obvious tracks on
still, and TTA, the WITT singles, and the fragile vinal. but
we all know that'll never happen...

btw...i found a great ripp of "appendage" which is suposed
to be inculded in "please" on soulseek...it sounds like it
was cut from the latter of the original...

i hate the nin.com boards, someone will post a thread saying
"i like pie" and will get 80 empty replies...

that cello project sounds REALLY interesting! i really hope
you can re-record some of that, i'd love to hear it.

as for trent, i give him points for exploring stringed
instruments besides guitars. i like what he put on the
album.

where did you find "tapes"? i thought all there shit was
digital. someone must've put it to tape. please tell me
about what you've heard, i'm a diehard nin fan.

appendage is old tho, it was released on the cassette tape
version of the fragile (same day as the cd version). i like
it. did you know "slipping away" isn't actually a remix of
"into the void" but was originally part of it, a
continuation of sorts that was deemed too long for the
album?

yea, we hate the nin.com board too. we left it a long time
ago because we feel the same way you do, only we probably
know the people even better unfortunately for us.

the tape is what ur talking about...i thought that the tape
was rare...but i have a really great ripp of it in 192 kps
mp3 that i got off of slsk...

i didn't know that about into the void...it sounds so much
like a remix though...infact i'm pretty damn sure it's a
remix...because all the vox are sampled from the
original...it's just the style of the track that just sounds
so much like a remix...expecially a trent remix...soo much
nord lead synth...

about instruments, trent is extreamly famous for using
instruments and making them sound unreconizable w/ processed
effects and what not...he's been doing this since
broken...also acroding the web "e-mix" version of no you
don't some of the intro sound of the track are processed
oboes.

well, trent said in an interview that it was a continuation,
but he could've sampled his own voice and tweaked it out.

trent's a genius, no doubt about it.

but tell me about these "tapes and other sources" of
unreleased nin music? how'd you come across that?

the appendage song i got is from soulseek, and was ripped
from a tape...acording to u the fragile tape release...

i've listened to tapes that were suposedly copied from
various sources from the data banks from the stuff the NIN
crew sold on e-bay...a bunch of samples/loops/and sequences
ranging from .1 secs to 5 mins...

i've also been told by the guy who had the tape that soem of
the stuff was leaked out by some of the nin programmers...a
likely story, but the sounds are so cleanly ripped that i
know that the'ere no way to ripp these from the original
releases...

i only know this guy at the raves here in seattle, he lives
to far to hang out with at a reg basis...so we usually
stumble into each other at the raves while e'ed up, and chat
w/ eath other and our crews in his converted van...

i can ask him again where he got it...but i think he said
that he copied it from a friend who doesnt' have a cd-rw so
they had to dub it to tape...

i see him this sat if i can jack my mom's old car to sneek
out to this rave...hehehe

ahhh the old summer 1999 nin.com shockwave files. yea those
are sweet loops. find out if there's anything else tho, like
actually leaked from programmers. that'd be great to hear.

i'll see what i can find out...but i dont' know how to ripp
from tapes...i think i can figure it out...

remember when nin cleared out mass stuff from the studio on
ebay? that's what's a lot of the stuff is suposed to be
from...

btw, do you know if any tapeworm stuff is leaked? what about
those live tracks maynard played w/ apc? what were the
titles of those?


 

offline titsworth from Washington, DC (United States) on 2002-05-28 08:09 [#00238448]
Points: 14550 Status: Lurker



the only things they sold were keyboards and other equip,
not like they were selling demos or anything

no tapeworm anything is leaked, but the song "vacant"
performed live by apc IS a tapeworm song. maynard wrote the
verses, trent wrote the choruses, danny lohner wrote the
riff, charlie clouser reworked the original recording.
nothing else related to tapeworm has been leaked, tho it's
known that 15+ demos exist.

yes, and keyboards hold thier samples, and loops, and
sequences in thier memory...that's what's suposed to be on
the tape.

vacant, huh...i think i'll go dl that...

well, ppl have released whole samples cd's of their abulms
before...and i totally agree with the philosophy...if
someone were to sample me (and aslong as i get
credit/royalties) go right ahead! i picture it as my
offspring mating with other offspring to produce the new
sound/track...

i really doubt that this is what the nin ppl were thinking,
but it's my understanding that they didn't care and just
wanted the money, fast!
