Heshlo!
Dude, you should be swapping tracks with the gods of
electronic music wizardry like funkstorung, autechre, otto
von schirach, richard devine etc etc... not some mortal
moron like me... heh heh. Well, you are able to hear mp3's
right? (because last time your computer couldn't handle the
site or something). I have 3 music sites. If you want, try
the upper 3 here:
http://artists.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/wmw/
the "4 rooms 4 walls" one is a remix of otto's track on his
glaaaaaamorous chopped zombie fungus trilogy.

I will now invent a rating system to show the aesthetic
value of my music relative to crunch 1. Each star stands for
one unit of positive aesthetic value:

my music- *

***********************************************************
***********************************************************
crunch1-

The data speaks for itself.

Where can I hear num3? Well, I usually like short tracks
because you only want to focus your attention so long on one
particular structure/idea. I like chaotically constantly
changing stuff. You can totally have any of my tracks. I
probably didn't send you anything because of sheer
intimidation of crunch1's superiority.

you kno that crunch2 is so much fatter, 1 was cool an that
but that was then and now the whole scene is pumpin again,

It amazes me that you would use some slightly negative term
(I assume you mean thin in some negative way) to describe
crunch1. I like C1 about... hmm, 2 1/2 to 3 times as much as
C2. C1 is a profound masterpiece. I assume you kidnapped an
alien and forced it to use it's weird telepathic powers to
create the tracks. C2 is great, but more repetitious I
guess. I mean, nothing on that beats toe tac tic. I totally
did not expect what I saw in the video. I like it now, but
was expecting more strange hallucination inducing melting
geometric universes. It was rather disturbing how their lips
moved to the pseudo vocals all fast like, and the weird
pulsing machine thing... I wasn't expecting it to even have
real people in it, or if there were maybe they'd be mutated
and twisted in some other dimension. I've never made any
videos myself (but I used to make animation "flip-books" heh
heh)

i listened to all ure traks : ) i like them but they are
all real short, like ides that are all good ...

i am listening to p.d.t at the mo which is taking me back to
the andre eastermann ep on MAS from along time ago on 33
which was one of the things that got me into making this
type of music !! very nice ...

C1 is good i admit that, the soundforge is probably what you
are hearing that's missing cos we bought macs after that but
lost SF from the PC, we haven't used it since ?

it's the start of something b4 we found our feet really,
when we were trying abit of everything and were more heavily
influenced by what other people were doing at the time ...
it's still one of my fav. albums and i've really heard those
traks slot but we don't use any in our live set except the
new version of toe tac tic ...

that p.d.t trak just ended, going to go see if there's more
...

You know what would be funny? Remember when the true
identity of crunch was unknown? The real crunch are probably
STILL unknown and so you just decided to pretend you were
the real crunch to see what would happen, heh heh.
I am happy now. Thanks for humoring me and... pretending...
to like my music :)))
Now I'm quite interested in soundforge, whatever that is...
I thought you maybe used some sort of programming language
to make crunch 1. But I suppose if you use any software you
obviously use something that was made with a programming
language anyway..

As far as music, I very much prefer the production of very
polished final creations, quality over quantity I guess.
That's why I like crunch1. It's finished and polished like
mad and you can hear it whenever you want... it's written
like words in a book and stored on a medium. I also am not
into music socially (other than with messageboards- so I
don't care about "raves" or "djing", playing live and stuff
like that really)... I'm not into anything socially though,
which is unhealthy. Well I wrote down all those tools you
used. Apparently with them you can casually vividly paint
your imagination with ease.

You can probably find it at www.sharewaremusicmachine.com
but it is just a very simple tracker. If you don't know what
a tracker is, it's hard for me to tell you because it's the
only thing I've ever used and so therefore would find it
difficult to contrast it to anything else. You just enter
wav files, like percussion sounds or whatever into a
structure (via a visual grid where time goes downward) It
would look like a simpletons tool compared to what you use
probably, so there's no use checking it out most likely. Do
you know how to program computer language code? I don't but
I want to learn how. I want to make videogames actually. I'm
reading a book now about the makers of the game Doom2 called
"masters of doom".

i did c.science (programming) a-level for a yr (1/2 the
course) but it was too heavy so i did sound engineering
instead ... my sisters b.frnd of 10 yrs is tester for x-box
and he can write/program all day/night long ...

a few of my mates write their own software, i have some
bits, plugs and stuff of theirs ...

i think native instruments and grm an waves are all good
soft products too for this sort of production ...

afx used metasynth and altho i have it i hardly use it cos
he kinda caned that main sound but the rest of it has some
mad shit.

computer games sucked up so much of my life, i hardly touch
games now, cable and dvd is my thing i am gonna get into web
stuff and animation, i wany my own TV channel on the
internet 24/7 ...

Frankly, I'm not very interested in the real world. I would
have been, probably, when earth's systems weren't so
corrupted. I can imagine being a naked animal millions of
years back, having everything I need in my own bones and
muscles. Things just don't seem beautiful now in cities and
human over-amplification, but I can handle it. Plus I'm just
currently thinking in one paradigm. It's easy to switch
around from different perspectives and see things in
different, maybe conflicting ways. I've spent just about as
much of my life as possible escaping to alternate worlds
like music and videogames and books. This probably sounds
irrelevant. Programming would be quite a universe to escape
to though. Some people have done that for their paid job
(like john romero and carmack). All you can really do is
organize sound and light really... what else can you do with
it. I guess it's just brains having fun, after all our major
senses are eyes and ears. Maybe I'll stop writing before I
seem insane. *forgets what I wrote but clicks "reply" anyway
