On the Druqks tracks, or are they sampled from someone else? Just wondering. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they were made with piano synth thingymabobs. someone else will tell you... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, he only play guitar |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no he doesnt legend has it, i think, it's a computer controlled piano, but prolly it's just samples |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm pretty sure he plays the keyboard atleast |
||||||||
|
|

Yea, thanks- I fugure it has to be a programmed Piano that Richard was noodling around with but I've never read anywhere for sure. I figured someone here might know for sure. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
didn't he also sample the piano sounds from john cage? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did he? ok.. cool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was under the impression that they were played by Richard on a prepared piano. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
me too. i like to keep this fantasy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what is a prepared piano? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
piano/prepared piano is all piano |
||||||||

A prepared piano is a piano that has had its sound altered by placing objects (preparations) between or on the strings. |

I definitely remember him talking about his midi-controlled piano in some interview. Might be bullshit, but that's what I imagine the Druqks stuff was made on |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks isnieZot, i'd wondered occasionally what that meant for a little while now. For some reason I don't think the pianos on druqks are sampled from elsewhere. I always imagined they were played, i don't recall the parts being exactly complex.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
someone once linked an article on the warp webpage saying that it was one of those midi-controlled piano thins.. no samples, just midi playing the notes. Aphex doesn't play the piano apparently... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it's samples from a prepared piano, like the violin on i care... that he played and sampled |
||||||||
|

Well from my experience Avril 14th as it appears on Drukqs is completely impossible to play without using your penis/foot/3rd hand/absurdly long finger, and since you can hear key pressing noises I'm sure it's not samples, therefore I subscribe to the midi controlled piano school of though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ahh, sweet. Tanx |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can play it... t'is not hard, actually... t'was even the first song I taught myself how to play when teaching myself to play piano... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im pretty sure that's sampled too, i even hear a sampled metronome, but maybe that's the pressing of the keys since it stops at points on the other piano tracks you dont hear these specific noises you hear on avril 14th |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
put it up |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, but I'm trying to upload two tracks for pomme too, and they don't seem to be working, but I'll record right away... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yay! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I can play it too, but there were a couple of chords which were way out of concievable hand range so I had to change them and they don't sound perfect |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you mean those chords on the end? you just have to play the lower part of the right hand with the left. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that was a lovely link |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

no offense intended, but you are probably playing it wrong. I don't claim to be great at piano, but I've been playing for almost 3 years and I have a knack for being able to listen to music and then transcribe it to the keys, and avril has sections where there are 3 parts being played independently of one another... and for that you'd need to be extremely good at piano, or have a 3rd hand. It's not the type of song a beginner can teach himself and be 100% correct on for the most part. ;) |

I agree with the frog fucking the cuddly rabbit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
where is it this rumored third hand comes into play? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he's probably talking about the very end. but yeah, I think he has a . |

Zephyr Twin, you're right. In fact, that piece sounds (and is) very simple-but I could never seem to work it out on piano perfectly (unlike some of the other tracks.) Then I realised there was more then two parts. btw, I find it really strange that Aphex Twin has been making electronic music with synthesizers for years now but claims he can't play the piano. I don't really get it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I reckon the chordy bit at around 1.25 has bits where you are pressing keys too far apart, and around 1.40 the third hand is playing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
checking... ... no, as I said.. you have to use the left hand to play parts the right hand would normally do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wasnt there a jpg of this doing the rounds a few years back |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
left hand is already busy playing the left hand bit PWN |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can do both. t'is not hard. earthleakage: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Okay, I also think that at around 0.50 the right hand riff is played in two octaves at once with a left hand part as well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well.. I can reach it... I can't play it GOOD, mind you, since I am self-taught, but I CAN play it, which means someone more accomplished than me can play it just fine. but I'll run it by someone I know who's had 15 years of playing classical music, and who's got the best ears of anyone I know, and see what he thinks of what that sounds like... |

He has a few Disklaviers if he was telling the truth in a post-drukqs interview with xlr8r |

mainly what I was getting at is that there are certain parts that even if you are playing them properly, there is a part one octave higher (or two or even three, not sure how many octaves the jump is, but I am certain I can hear it) than the right hand part that is an exact mirror (or close to it) that you are missing, so technically you aren't playing all of it if you are getting by using only two hands. |

Yes |
