Dear AphexTwin.nu'ers,
i've been hanging round here for a fair while now...don't post much, just read your interesting posts...anyway, i'm starting a musical community / group sort of thing for music / art makers...i think something like this was discussed earlier, but i'm looking to get a community of music makes of non-repetitive electronica / classical / turntablist music, because i fear that music has gotten to the point where minimalism had gone to far into mindless repetition. Music makers tend to rely too much on catchy loops and over use melodies / harmonies to get their music out their...thats why i'm looking for a group of musicians who feel the same way to compose music in a new non-repetitive way...this doesn't mean that no repetition should be used, as a theme is usually the backbone of the song and deserves to come back at some stage, but i think you all get what i'm trying to say...
i'm sending this "call" to you AphexTwin.nu'ers, as i know you have a great taste for experimental / GOOD music, and i'm also going to call upon Dj Shadow type composers to join...
Artists who compose interesting / off the wall art and would like to contribute to the community are also VERY welcome :)
I'm thinking of calling the style of music "Cephalic Avantgarde Progression", or "CAP" for short...
anyone even slightly interested, if you could write either to the list or my e-mail, that'd be great :)
if you would like a sample of the sort of music 'I' compose, then you can check out www.stormpages.com/cheapmagnet/index.htm for some 30 second samples of a few songs...once i get the ftp server on the site to work i'll be uploading full songs
i'll get a proper website and so fourth for us if we get this idea up and running,
thanx in advance :)

I'm in love with that introduction song to your page! It's simple like Super Nintendo, and I like how it loops forever like a videogame too. I don't think I can play .rf or whatever files so I won't bother downloading them even though I'd like to hear them. I have some non repetitive stuff at www.mp3.com/artificialselection, like "asexual spore releasing hyper bloomer", a lot of people on here have great non repetitive music I think. I guess non repetitiveness is a good way to judge accurately whether something sounds good to me. But I also like symmetry in art, and for that you need repetition, by definition. I think complexity is usually a defining characteristic I like, but the definition of that is just something that's hard to understand (due to too many involved parts for example) The best stuff is complex but composed with symmetry, in some logical form.

i totally agree :) i love complexity in music as well...and your symmetry comment is very valid. I'm going to check out your music next month (when i get more download megs), which i'm looking foward too...if you, or anybody else for that matter, is interested in seriously having a go at this sort of community thing (not to challenge Reflex's one at all!!!), then leave your names either on this board or send me an e-mail :)

If you were referring to artificialselection, thanks. I checked your art page and it took FOREVER to load... but I got the top 3 pictures. I admit computers are excellent tools, I mean it's primitive for me to use a big clumsy pencil, it's hard for me to compete with the computer. When you use a computer you are sort of using someone elses invention to to the work. (I'm using someone elses invention, the pencil, though...) I've done some tinkering in paint shop and stuff so I know how easy it is to make great looking complex stuff, it's kind of like the computer made it, not a person. This really doesn't matter as long as the art is interesting... but since so many people can make interesting stuff really easy, it has less value. Obviously, you can still make some really original stuff and spend a lot of time on it with a computer. Your stuff was great. I don't really know how the creation process went, time consuming detail or one click special effects, but its nice to look at and that's what matters.

Notice how the clarifying word "the" works: his music is "the shit" and your music is "shit"... hmmm, heh heh.
Sure, I'm officially interested in this thingamajig as long as I don't have to spend very much of my own personal effort, heh heh heh.

Reflex said "you cant just create a new kind of music"
WHAT on earth do u mean by that?!? why can't we make a new kind of music?? is there a moral law against it? I'm not here to start an arguement, just so find other talent interested in making a new style of electronic / classical / turntablist non-repetitive music, as i said above...i think we have full right to see this through, as it isn't conflicting with Community Vibes.

true, to an extent but it's a bit defeatest giving up all hope of doing something new. It's using what you've got for a different purpose ie turntablism, electronics, wood etc everyone using the same music programs doesn't help as the parameters are set by such nerds.

i get your point Reflex, but its like any arguement about "new" ideas...everythings a branch of something else, no ideas can be formulated, only extensions off current ones, etc etc...ok, fine. What i PROBABLY should have said was "hi, i'm Cheap, i want to get other composers to SPECIALISE in creating 'non-repetative' music. Yes, this has been done before, but VERY rarely, and if you look at the songs around you, try and find a good non-repetative song. Not too many? Ok, now, i love non-repetative music, so how bout we take this "IDEA" and extend it "FURTHER". we aren't creating a new idea or new 'type of music', but we are taking something that hasn't been done much or well to a new extreme...thats what i hope to do. you ok with that Reflex?

Cheap: Now I remember I tried to send you an mp3 awhile back but it was too large to send, well that song is at my page www.artificialselection "whiet ziella", I think I forgot to tell you, if you even remember. And I made "asexual spore releasing hyper bloomer" downloadable, but it might take awhile till mp3com approves it. The latter mentioned song is completely non-repetitive due to the nature of it's construction, it's not exactly the same twice (except for the brief melody bits), which is why I mentioned it. I have your link written down, so I'll check it on my other computer (really impressed with that intro brief song) whenever I move out and GET it...
