Mille Plateaux

Anyone who can recommend artists/releases from this label?
I'm looking for some Fennesz-like stuff. A friend of mine
suggested Andreas Tilliander. Are Mille Plateaux-mp3´s hard
to find?

Kid606 released an EP entitled "P.S I love you" on Mille
Plateaux. It's the only MP release I've heard and it's quite
monotonous clicks n cuts -type stuff. I wouldn't really
recommend it unless you really dig Kid606.

you should check out "clicks&cuts" series- there were 3
parts of it.
no recommendation really- i dont like the whole click-thing
(with little exceptions- jan jelinek is great)

its funny but pure electronica is a bit too dry for me at
the moment- i need an organic element now.

focusing on this trend i d rather recommend scape label-
they re much better and interesting- heavily dub-influenced,

It's the clicky thing I'm looking for. I've heard about some
3xcd "best of click-hop" or something, but I can't find it
for sale.

mille released clichop ver 1.0- quiete interesting- but the
scape compilation steadtizism3-instrumentals is clickhoppy
too and...

better ;oP

I will check out some Scape-stuff, thanks.

i got the clicks & cuts 2, liked it, but now im a bit bored
by it. and with the whole click and cuts scene.

scape on the other hand, that label is far superior for my
taste.

Andreas Tilliander : Ljud

is worth checking out, if you're looking for minimal glitch.
Kid606's PS i love you is pretty good, if you warm to it,
but it just feels wrong with "kid606" as the artist name.
I've got clicks + cuts 2 which is interesting and in parts
very nice - but not consistently captivating for my likes
and wants.

Have you checked out Oval? MilleP isn't in general (as far
as I've come across) too Fennesz like?

i heard that force inc. created mille plateaux for alec
empire's early ambient stuff. i'm not sure this is true
though.

the whole clicks & cuts thing got old VERY fast. i do still
like some ryoji ikeda though, mainly because he takes it to
the extreme.

makeSND cassette - SND
matrix & dataplex - ryoji ikeda

Points: 3346 Status: Regular



yeah, dataplex by ryoji ikeda is quite good.

also, can't go wrong with pretty much any alvo noto release
(although i don't enjoy as much his more experimental stuff
under his 'noto' alias).

Does 'clicks & cuts' refer to a particular production
technique, or is it simply a name for the albums?

The text is MUCH better than the label.

Bodies without organs, for the win!

both. it's a genre and and it's also been used to name three
compilations on the mille plateaux label (clicks & cuts vol.
1,2 and 3)


 

offline CORTEX from Canada on 2008-04-01 20:34 [#02190532]

actually it seems there's also a vol.4.

So it's a genre, too? I had never heard of it until today.
Is it a reference to how the music was made (computer clicks
and ctrl-x), or how it sounds (clicky beats and breaks)?
or.... both?

mouse clicks, I should say.


 

offline tolstoyed from the ocean on 2008-04-01 21:11 [#02190538]

in that case what would cuts stand for?

ctrl+x = windows command for cutting... like cutting and
pasting in a sampler. :)

probabaly...it think it's a sound description, though i
wouldn't bet my life on it

yeah. I thought about my theory after posting it, and
figured it was probably just in reference to how the music
actually sounds.

from wiki:

Glitch (also known as clicks and cuts from a representative
compilation series by the German record label Mille
Plateaux) is a genre of electronic music that became popular
in the late 1990s with the increasing use of digital signal
processing, particularly on computers. The origins of glitch
music are derived from the failure of digital technology.
The effects of failure in technology, such as bugs, crashes,
system errors, hardware noise, skipping and audio
distortion, can be captured on computers and provide the
basic building blocks of Glitch music.[1] Often considered a
sub-genre of electronica or intelligent dance music, glitch
eschews traditional instrumentation, preferring instead the
use of mechanized and non-natural sounds. Though rhythm is a
central focal point of glitch, the style's various
sub-genres range from the ambient to the dance-oriented.
[2]

Glitch is often produced on computers using modern digital
production software to splice together small "cuts"
(samples) of music from previously recorded works. These
cuts are then integrated with the signature of glitch music:
beats made up of glitches, clicks, scratches, and otherwise
"erroneously" produced or sounding noise. These glitches are
often very short, and are typically used in place of
traditional percussion or instrumentation. Skipping CDs,
scratched vinyl records, circuit bending, and other
noise-like distortions figure prominently into the creation
of rhythm and feeling in glitch; it is from the use of these
digital artifacts that the genre derives its name. However,
not all artists of the genre are working with erroneously
produced sounds or are even using digital sounds.

Not too many clicks but a lot of cuts, sharp sharp cuts,
Stewart Walker "Stabiles" is an ol'classic and I think it's
on Mille Plateaux and it sounds nothing like Fennesz, sorry.

Five years! Wow. This topic is a good example of how
Xltronic worked for me five years ago. It really helped me
discover new music. Now it's the place to be if I want
midget porn, funny links and "listen to my new funny tune!"
It's sad...or is it?
