coke can track?

Hello,

I once heard that Richard James did a track using nothing
but sounds he could make with a soda can. Does anyone know
if this is true and, if so, the release it's on? thanks.

tolstoyed-

are you saying the coke can track is on windowlicker? i
sorta doubt that--none of the three tracks sounds much like
a soda can. or where you referring to the diarrhea sample?

gracias. i didn't notice anything in the FAQ about it, so
what's the story on this site and aphextwin.nu? new
conglomeration for '03?

hehe, sorry i was joking
but its hard to belive he done a track like that
well perhaps on some gig or something, but i doubt he'd
release that

and, yeah, welcome on borad

well, i don't remember where i heard it, it might just be
more BS fed to an annoying journalist. as i recall, he was
supposed to have done it on a dare.

Everything's being moved to this site (eventually) so it
covered a vast range of artists and not just Autechre and
Aphex. To be honest it's better because on aphextwin.nu ,
the MB usually had topics about say, Autechre or Boards Of
Canada,etc.

Alberto Balsalm ?

Nah, not Alberto, I don't think. one article in the Wire
said some noises in that were from a radiator, though. very
tom waits. ;)

you'll probably be talking about Radioboy aka Matthew
Herbert.
He uses household items and samples them to make entire
tracks.
I saw him do this live and it was fuckin nuts. He used Gap
clothes, McDonalds Food, Cereal Boxes...and yes coke cans.

the story is more like rich talking in a to the interviewer
about how he and his mates used to do tracks with any
objects they could find, he was explaining how it was hard
to have a bassdrum sound out of a can but that a carpet is
good. i dont think you'll ever hear the tracks

it sounds like there is some tin can tapping used as one of
the sounds in Alberto Balsam, but it's quite the assumption
to assume that it's a COKE can HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! hehehehe...

richard does all his tracks with a computer and a modified
coke can! and the coke company probably sends him a big fat
paycheck! i smell double-dealing and corporate corruption!

I often wondered that as well, about what and where that
track was. Finally I realized that it was probably the
reviewer making some attempt at humor that characterizes
what he knows about RDJ's quirky persona.. meaning, he
probably meant 'RDJ has shown us that he's the only one that
can and would make a track out of the sound of tapping on a
coke can'

there is an autechre track that sounds like it uses a can..
track 9 - "caliper remote" on lp 5 (the solid black cd cover
one).. it sounds like the opening tab being strummed or
flicked.. but it has other sounds in too..
