Had one of those "Am I a dumbass or what?" moments today... I was moving around some posters I've got around my desk and there's one from Creative Review from November 2001...abstract polgons; very very nice (so nice I'd put two up next to each other..)... Anyways..I thought "that image looks kinda familar" and sure enough, it turns out to be a still from the Grantz Graf video by Alex Rutterford...don't know why I didn't notice before really... So it looks like the GG vid was complete back in NOV 2001..wonder why we've waited so long?... You can get hold of an unfolded version of this poster from CR...they cost £5...It's the NOV 01 issue you want..(got a big article about WARP in there as well).. its pretty big BTW around 2ft by 3ft...excellent quality paper as well...Wish I'd bought a few more copies now... (The latest CR has got an excellent PRAYSTATION poster in...check it out if you get a chance...)... |

oh yeah...this guy designed the SQPR logo...that one that looks a bit AFX really... The >[ thing.... anyway, Squarepusher is a pagan word meaning an Archer... hmmm..you learn something new everyday (I always thought it was a ref to Acid...).. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Thanx for the info=) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

np...should have noticed it before really as it's been on my wall since November...with 2 2ftx3ft posters staring at you everyday, it's kinda thick not to have noticed...especially when I'd been looking forward to the GGvideo for so long... oh yeah, another thing....you know that bit in AOTC with the acoustic weapon in space...well, there's a bit that's exactly like that about a minute in...awesome piece of work...(took about 5 months to make apparently...the guy nearly had a panic attack the first time he heard the track as it was so dense...)... |

You Europeans get all the dumb luck! :) Where's my Gantz Graf poster!!!!!!!?!?!?!? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is the new cd indeed going to be called Gantz Graf? Never before have Autechre called a cd from a track name. I think it's wrong and hope the new EP will be called something different |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh man i can't whait to see it !!!! I read that gantz graf article on ae.nu and it really sounds like something special. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its actually untitled, but the title track is called Gantz Graf. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah..you can def see he's put a lot of work into it... Theres a bit of spiel about it in the mag where he goes on about every note having it's own indiviudual shape...and you know how dense GG is... fuck..I wanna see more videos like this...where the sound/visual is sync'ed so well...it took me a fair while to get into the MP3 of GG (the other 2 tracks I liked more to start with) but when you see it & hear it, it makes a lot more sense.... I'll see what I can do about ripping it off the DVD...I'm a bit fucked hardware wise at moment but I'll see what I can do once I get back to work on Wednesday... |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|
..and i thought SP meant defying the odds,as in the old saying 'You can't fit a square peg into a round hole' (or something).I know,my brains' mashed as well...}:> |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Does anyone know where you can watch the Gantz Graf video, or who directed it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Get yourself a sub to Creative Review..it's a pukka mag, wonderfully designed and laid out (as you'd expect from a mag aimed at "creatives"...hate that term..).. you get to see a lot of shit well in advance of actual releases...Like this poster from NOV 2001..8 months ago... It's about £56 for the year for the UK but prob double that for US/RotW...it's only subscribers who get the DVDs (one every 6 months...)... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
regital: Directed/Created by ALEX RUTTERFORD ... he's done some work on the AIFOL video with Chris Cunningham... & so far only about a minute of it has been released on this Creative Review DVD mentioned above...full version is out on Aug 5th, I believe... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Thanks Jand. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey jand, it was prolly a good idea to read the interview on the back of the poster. it's lush and is actually framed on my wall. god damn creative review it's soooo expensive!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah... I've now got one with the poster and the other with screen shots & interview next to each other...some of his other work is soo smooth; I like those fluid type monochrome things... Yeah...it is expensive...I'm lucky as I get a copy via work and then theres a market stall that sells out of date mags in chelmsford for 50p each...so I generally pick up a couple of extra copies that way as well....wish I'd picked up a couple more now tho as they had tons... Have you got the latest one?...with the PRAYSTATION poster?...I sooo love Josh Davis work, looking forward to his book due out any day now... |
||||||||

no i havn't got this months, i don't do graphics anymore so i decided to stop getting it. i'will take a look though. another pet hate is the price of artists/designers books, but i suppose they need to get money somewhere |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah..I know what you mean about art/design books, I could spend endless amounts of cash on em... but a word to the wise... Waterstones don't expect people to shoplift books... I never said that tho...;)... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh i know, it's very naive of them. just watch out some expensive ones have tags on :)))))) i gave up doing things like that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jand; you didn't happen to record the skam night on radio one? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah...those PCB type things hidden behind the barcode...pretty crafty things... but yeah..I've stopped going into book shops so much recently...was getting a little hairy and you only need to get caught once.... One good one that worth paying for in the MAEDA@MEDIA one... by John Maeda....think it's only about 20 quid...seldom a week goes by without me having a look thru that... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cheers pal, of course i'm still interested in design. i'd quite like to see the designers republic/schematic book |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah..def one for the shopping list... Design books are like mind porn for me... Strangely enough just this sec got a email from TDR... "DR-No B A2 poster is now available for purchase. http://www.thepeoplesbureau.com" time to go check that out... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
arse..I might as well sign my entire salary over to TDR...I now remember why I don't often visit there... Far too tempting...:).. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know but it's quality. there's a book i saw in creative review entirely based on cut up buildings, amazing images. canny remember name |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I know the one...something 2D/3D architecture...they've got it for sale at that site...think it's about 35 quid tho ;(.. there's a newer smaller thing thats only a tenner...might go for that instead... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
what is "cr" ? i want this poster too =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SEPIX: CR is Creative Review... a UK magazine for "Creatives"; a horrible word for people who work in advertising ot the media...I work in neither, just get it because I love good design... check out ... you might have to sign up for their 7 day free trial thing to get onto the site but it's worth it.... The poster comes with the NOV2001 CR...or you can just order the poster if you don't want the whole issue...let me know if that site doesn't give you the info you need and I'll find out more for ya... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Looks like back issues are £8 (gulp) or if you just want the poster it's £5 ... Wish I'd picked up some more copies for 50P now, I could've passed em on to you lot...but only put 2 & 2 together when I saw the GG video...dumbass or what??? The Nov2001 issue is pretty cool...as well as the Alex Rutterford/GG Poster/inteview thing it's also got a good feature about WARP, it's website & designers.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shit...don't sign up for the 7 day trial...they want your Ccard details; not a good idea... The info you need is on there anyway without signing up.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
an afx logo poster would be much nicers... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
An AFX logo poster would be a piece of piss to produce tho...you could blow up the cover of SAWI real easy.... or knock something up in Freehand/Illustrator and pop down to your local Kinkos with ya disk in hand... This AE poster is pretty similar to the Drafttable/Exploding Geometry style of graphic design that's been doing the rounds for the last few years...Abstract 3D shapes and Shards exploded kinda of thing....you'll know the style if you follow the web deisgn world in anyway... Except, of course, in the video it moves... |

the usual game, no credit card - no fun :( |

sepix: email crcirc@centaur.co.uk ... that's the circulation dept... I've got the latest issue in front of me and it says they accept cheques so you should be able to go that route...wish us UK fuckers would go to Euros, would make this far far easier...The sooner someone paves the Channel and we become a proper part of Europe the better, I hate our little island mentality... oh yeah...Don't expect a reply for a few days...the UK is kinda closed til Wednesday... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice info... didn't know. also, posters would be nice. My walls are naked. I must find some. |
||||||||
|
|

|

working at the movie theatre in my home town had 1 (and 1 only) advantage: free movie posters! Though now, the managers take them all just to have 1 more way to dick us over, so we can't get them as often and it's usually the shitty movies... But I have gotten some cool ones in my time working there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. that sounds nice, well how it used to be. I'll probably purchase some movieposters to cheer things up. Naked walls are kinda sad. |
