New Rob Booth interview.....

In april's sound on sound magazine. bought it today. its an
interesting interview, and he reveals why some of the names
are cryptic .e.g. 6ie.cr comes from 606ie, a 606 loop, and
with theme from a sudden roundabout, sudden is actually a
place.

He talks about why ae are so secretive and discusses how
they have got to where they are now. i.e. started to hiphop
remixes, etc, to draft 7.30.

He mentions various hardware and software things, I found it
an interesting read, but don't have time to type up much
more about it, its worth getting, oh and also it has
screenshots of ae's max/msp software, which has an unusual
interface look to it.

Also the magazine is especially interesting (april
addition), few bits on additive synthesis (my pet
electronics homemade project) and digital delays (I'm
designing a chorus unit at the mo-v.similar theory), also
gear reviews, and the like.

old Rob Booth, heh.

I'm afraid there aren't any links to that interview yet :-(
SOS articles are put on-line 3 months after publication or
something like that...
So I guess you have to subscribe, wait or buy the
magazine...

Sort of restores my faith in them - I read a couple of
interviews with Sean where he sounded stoned and arrogant
and really, really stupid.

One thing that struck me is how they're against random
generation, and how they use triggers to trigger other
triggers in ways that let them control stuff in real-time -
so it's not exactly random, but I'm sure it leads to lots of
happy accidents.

God I wish I could stop working and just mess with shit like
this 18 hours a day! :-|

buy the magazine, then you can drool over expenisve gear.
Theres also a section on recreating blue monday by new
order, which is interesting too. go on......

The articles appear online either 3 or 6 months later on
sospubs.co.uk, but I don't know if they put interviews up. I
know they do techniques and things like that.
Its a good magazine, since you can easily read it cover to
cover, its packed full of interesting bits and pieces.

they aren't trying to reproduce anything. thats what makes
them the greatest musicians of all time. they aren't afraid
of anything. just going forward...

cygnus: the screenshot you are refering to is from digital
performer - it is quite readable in the left upper corner,
don?t you think?

they aren't trying to reproduce anything.

Ironic, then, that they started out remixing and making mix
tapes. :-)

But yeah, they're definitely one of the most forward looking
outfits going... I'd like to hear some of what they left off
Confield if what they left on is pop music in comparison.

It ain't your papa's fruityloops, that's for sure.

Its a shame he didn't 'ham it up', and say he uses fruity
loops for draft 7.30. Or even reason v.1 for confield, and
rebirth for tri-repetae, all slightly tweaked on tape with a
splicing block and knife. I don't see why afx should be the
only one who can come up with complete crap. Maybe sos
wouldn't beleive it, but many others would lap it up.
e.g. rdj made a sampler. yeah right!
