i kinda wanted to post to this since me and kcinsu have a history of vast hatred and i have nothing really to do right now. i also wanted to make sure my .nu account was still around. so here are a few points:
1. commenting logically and meaningfully (you know, criticism) on music does not require that you're a musician yourself. there's plenty of precedent, in academic or in "pop" circles, for good-ass critics who are JUST critics. TH's tracks surely don't light my ass on fire but i thought the general gist of his comments was right on.
2. it's up to every musician to decide for themself how much or how little they are going to care about what other people say about them. you KNOW that if you name a track "the era of the prophets, blah blah..." that some peeps are gonna be rubbed the wrong way, especially when it isn't immediately arrestingly awesome. not that it's a bad track, but it's gotta be hella good to "justify" that title, imo. otherwise it just comes off as wank.
if you truly make up your mind that "i don't care what other people think," then fine, name it whatever the hell you want. but then you've got to really be prepared to NOT CARE when people who may or may not know their shit diss you on a stupid bbs.
3. kcinsu music isn't bad but i'm having trouble really getting into it. part of it is idm snobbery (some of the pad patches remind me of the 'synth' section on my sister's old korg electric piano thingy), and part of it is... i'm not sure that i can dig "ambient" music in that sense. it's not grounded enough for me. what i mean is, the "ambient" music that i like (music for airports, sawii, reich) is stuff that is repetitious, pulsating, and very centered like, thematically. i know that i could sit down at a keyboard and just record 4 or 5 tracks of me jamming in D minor on various pad patches and have something that sounded, to me, dangerously close to a kcinsu track. NOT that a kcinsu track is easy to make or shoddy, but... i dunno. try som

hey i got cut off!
continued:
"but... i dunno. try some chord changes, maybe? i get a feeling of "this melody could be anywhere in this track and still fit" when i hear a kcinsu track.
4. i don't think autechre comparisons make sense at all. again, it's that interlocking feeling i get. every bit in an ae track seems to be 'talking' to every other bit, and it's all so mysterious (draft7.30 is on right now). in 'red
flower,' i can imagine myself tweaking the very same plugins to make some of those sounds. which is distracting, and
just indicative of not really enough 'mysterious distance' from the dsp we are all familiar with (an integral
component to enjoying ae, imo).
-pete ascdi (yes i know my tracks are also kinda mediocre. see #1) "
ps... about TH's comments being right in #1... i meant his original first post of criticism, not the rest of the degenerating wank ones. thanks peeps.

I would like to thank you ascdi, for actually writting a respectful criticism.
See theo? You can still write everything you want to say, and not be an asshole about it.
Did you see any put downs etc there? No.
Ascdi just earned alot of respect from me for that.

Dolleater: Dont leave ja, thats crazy talk
Theo: At first you were stating your opinion and allthough it was brutally honest, it was your opinion. And from what we can judge from your music which is currently online, and to have you say this: "when I was getting started I used to sort of follow the formulae of certain producers and pastiches of certain tracks I admired.. from this , and once I got comfortable making tracks , my own touch on the music became more and more noticalbe", is completly hypocritcal to everything you just said about not putting Zeus down to build yourself up, and personally I think its silly (especially someone who is talking about origionality, and seems to just post remix's on his zebox site, marginal sounding at that). "Believe me my stuff dont have to be brilliant to outshine your bullshit.", "are you crying over there? believe me if it weren't so horribly pretentious I wouldn't attack it like this.. that was your first mistake" Now you are just nitpicking Zeus apart and being cruel, stop
Dont let people get to you Zeus
Jarworski, seems as of late, you have been using this place to put people down, cut it out, or maybe your ego is so fragile you need to feel big by acting tough on a message board, in which case that is very sad. Pretty easy to act tough hiding behind your computer huh?

I really don't see this "negative posting style" of Jarworski.
I do however see you telling off an xltronic member AGAIN - which you have done so many times now and is also starting to sound like a stuck record. it always pisses me off when you do that, makes you look so arrogant.

which is not something I can say for either you qrter, or Jarworski for that matter, you guys seem to do it every other day, I dont think you can talk and tell me about telling people off, when I see you do it everyday.

Here's a little song i wrote, you might want to sing it note for note, don't worry, be happy
in every life we have some trouble, when you worry you make it double don't worry, be happy
dont worry be happy now dont worry be happy dont worry be happy dont worry be happy dont worry be happy aint got no place to lay your head, somebody came and took your bed, don't worry, be happy
the landlord say your rent is late, he may have to litagate, dont worry (small laugh) be happy,
look at me im happy, don't worry, be happy
i give you my phone number, when your worried, call me, i make you happy
don't worry, be happy
aint got no cash, aint got no style, aint got no gal to make you smile but don't worry, be happy
cos when you worry, your face will frown, and that will bring everybody down, so don't worry, be happy
