To go along with shutup, my first fruity track. I have been woking with Renoise trying to get the hang of things. I have done two short demo peices which I am going to work on and make into full length things. One is called GlitchBitch[demo] (Glitchy track) and the other is Billy The Jazz Robot (Sort of drill track). Anyone with constructive comments for me would be most appreciated :D |

I'm not really hearing any glitch in GlitchBitch. Maybe we have a different understanding of it? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Must have :P...By that I mean I haven't got any idea what glitch is :D! The beats just sounded like glitches to me, so I called it glitch...sorry :( |

No problem blanco nino. As computer-aided composition slowly eclipsed the traditional analog approach to crafting electronica, the palette of possible sounds soon widened immensely, resulting in the advent of the clicks + cuts style in the late '90s. No longer was the artist confined to sequenced percussion, synth, and samples, but rather any imaginable sound, including the uncanny realm of digital glitches — a possibility that was quickly exploited by a generation of youths with the means to create entire albums in their bedroom with only a computer and the right software. Where early-'90s analog-toting pioneers such as Aphex Twin and Autechre had envisioned the quickly diminishing areas of electronica that had not yet been explored, and, simultaneously, another insular group of pioneers led by Robert Hood and Basic Channel stripped away the elements of electronica that had ultimately become little more than ineffective cliché, a second wave of computer-armed protégés studied these aesthetics and used software to create microscopically intricate compositions harking back to these pioneers. First championed by the ideological German techno figure Achim Szepanski and his stable of record labels — Force Inc, Mille Plateaux, Force Tracks, Ritornell — this tight-knit scene of experimental artists creating cerebral hybrids of experimental techno, minimalism, digital collage, and noise glitches soon found themselves being assembled into a community. Though artists such as Oval, Pole, and Vladislav Delay, among others, had initially been singled out by critics beforehand, Mille Plateaux's epic Clicks_+_Cuts compilation first defined the underground movement, exploring not only a broad roster of artists but also a wide scope of approaches. The artists on the compilation, along with a small community of visionary artists in the software-savvy San Francisco/Silicon Valley area of California led by the Cytrax label, soon found themselves as the critically hailed leaders of yet another electronica movement.

I like it! What are you using on the break? |
||||||||
|
|

Oh shit. Well, you get the basic idea. |

You pedantic bore. |

Still no clearer...I suppose I will have to go downloading. :P Anyway I have changed the title of the track to NotGlitchBitch :D Anyway what did you think of them anyway? I am saying anyway a lot tonight. |

i like the glitchbitch. the other one isn't exactly my cup of tea. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
It's Battery on both tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I never said I didn't like it. I thought it was alright! But I feel as though to pass proper judgement I'd have to hear the whole thing. I'll try the other track next... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I only checked the first but it sounds cool! It's not just pitch shift in Battery is it? It's a nice effect what ever it is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I like where Billy the Jazz Robot is going more I have to say.. keep us posted. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didn't say that, look up pedant at dictionary.com. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol, I dunno which track you are referring to here :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I said it wasn't glitch, is that what you meant by saying I was a pedant(ic bore)? |
||||||||
|
|

Soz! I checked 'Shut up'... |

Forget it, let's be best electronic forum buddies from now on. |

i think i like the robot one best. some really neat stereo effects goin on there. and the beats are pretty dope too. i especially like the way it starts, how the beats fade in as they speed up and they seem to move from the sides to the center..? if that makes sense. as for glitch bitch, i think it sounds like the start of something that could be really cool. i like the bass sound you got in there. both tracks are really too short for me to say much else. but i like em. be sure to post the finished products when they's dun yo! |

Okay. |

wait! i want to be best buddies too! oh gawd.. am i too late? |

Ah, on that one I actually did the basic beat with Battery, then slightly granulated it, then did some pitchshifting :D I got that Ableton by the way, looks well fuckin funky. I've not had a chance to have a proper play with it yet, but I spent like half an hour on it and it seems well good. |

Gracias. I have been making music for 6 months now, and I am starting to be able to do the stuff I want to be able to do. I have quite a few melodic tracks half finished, but I won't post them until they are fully done, which is why I have been posting mosty beats so far :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ableton is brilliant! Loads of fun. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so i've been making music for almost 7(?)years and i still don't know what "granulated" means. so what exactly is it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Basically it is a small section repeatly taken from the track then split up into grains of sound which are then either slowed down or randomised or stuff like that. At least that is what I think it means :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A section of sound taken form the waveform and granulated I mean...I'm crap at explaining stuff :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ho ho! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh i see. there used to be a program called... hmm maybe it was medi-synth that could do that. like chop up a sound bit then randomly mix it up and play back the chunks at a certain bpm. i don't think you could do much else to it though.. that was a long time ago. |

Bhump.o |

good track man. Would be good to hear the finished version. The beats remind me of Tilapia by Autechre a wee bit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmmm glitch bitch reminded me of everyday. Still very nice though. : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

'Granulated', if my understanding is correct, is an adjective used to describe a quasi - crunchy, crackly aural texture. Autechre & Oval use it to an extent that they are considered among THE pioneers of skin - tingling, register spanning avant - electronica. |

And I sound retarded. |
