I'm working for you. I'm scanning an exclusive italian interview to BoC (dated March 2002, from Rumore magazine) where they speak about music, etc... There's another page where they say things they like and thing they don't like. I'm scanning the music equipment of various laptop artist (laptop, software, etc... dated always 2002 so a little bit old) Maybe could be interesting for some musician between you. Everything from my WooferAttack's archives. I'll made some transaltion for you and maybe Tolstoyed could help me. \/\/. |

here a first taste... |

@ woofer thanks woofer...you're the man.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks again woofer! i'll read the whole thing when i get home...i haven't read many interviews by boc, and the last one i read was quite interesting from what i can remember. |
||||||||
|

i just checked the interview rell quickly and found out that MHTRTC was sold in 100.000 copies. this is probably one of the most well known electronic releases ever and it was sold only in 100k??? sad, sad fact. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
100,000 hmmm... I would shit myself if anything i wrote sold that much. That's a really decent amount of records sold if you ask me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is, but you can find that album on every (probably) electronica top 10 list, so that would imo mean that other less known artist get sold in much smaller numbers, which is really sad in a way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
True but that is the way with this kind of music, it's specialised so you can't expect it to sell to much. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, it's a shame so little people know about this stuff... anyway, here's another fun part: -things that boc like: .things that sound a little "un-tuned"(not sure what's the right expression) *space odity by david bowie *god only knows by beach boys *wonderful world by louis armstrong *tomorrow never knows by beatles .things that sound "tuned", progressive rock and kung fu (?): *devo *aphex twin *cocteau twins *nitzer ebb *incredible string band *wu tang clan then there's a part i don't understand fully, but it says something about some robot who is singing songs?? weird hehe, and they also like those tunes you can hear in luna parks. -things that boc dislike: *electronic devices that don't work *meat *napster (i bet they dislike soulseek thses days :) ) |

Yes, there are plenty of "normal" acts like rock bands and dance acts who'd love to sell 100,000 copies of an album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im sure about that, actually the majority of them don't sell that much. but when you compare best selling rock albums and best selling electronic albums there is a huge difference. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
EVERYONE likes nitzer ebb! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't know who that is...i don't think that qualifies me into that everyone group. but i could start liking them. maybe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just hope their new album is out soon! |
||||||||
|
|

thanx Woofer, That list on the right aint BoCs equipment right? could someone translate the whole thing? or post a txt file so we could use a translation program? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who's ever that equipment is, speaks in singular...i think boc would refer to it in plural so i doubt it's theirs :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the equipments are used from various artists (matmos, phonem, etc...) that grey article is in english, don't need translations. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks Woofer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, that's italian all right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
COULD SOMEBODY TRANSLATE THE BOC INTERVIEW!!! Dont tease us like that! give us a txt or whatever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for some exctract about BoC interview transaltion, check my other topic here below: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
other transaltion: where did BoC works usually? Mike: "it's a little studio with a open chimney and glasses walls. everything (also the ceiling) is full of instruments and strange machines for record" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what kind of machines you use? "we use a lot of old machines full of old fuses. a synthesizer we often use is a modified 'Chrome Larynx', from 1971 and was build from a friend of my father who was a technician in a hospital. anyway we don't use a LAPTOP for create music" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
where do you take inspiration so? Marcus: "i feel strong connections with that musicians who are productors. especially persons who understand that imperfection is more beatiful and seductive respect "corrected" and "educated" music. Kevin Shields from My Bloody Valentine, RZA from Wu Tang, Cloudead and Dose One" |
