"When I signed with them, in 1993, that’s when ambient music was at its height, I just lied. They asked me if I was making ambient music and I’d never done an ambient track, but I said yes, and they said to send them a tape, so I quickly made some ambient stuff and sent it to them and it became my first record, which isn’t ambient at all really if I listen to it now, but that was what I thought ambient music was at the time. It was my most popular stuff in a way, it’s funny… It was very quick to make. I did an album and an EP in a week. There were two extra tracks that they never used too. People still come to me telling me they wished I would make music like that again (laughs). I couldn’t. I didn’t know what I was doing, I was trying to be ambient (laughs). " [Luke Vibert] |

"i’ve got about six or seven hundred unreleased tracks, Aphex’s got about three or four hundred, Mike’s probably got about six or seven hundred, and same for Tom. I’ve got all of Richard’s stuff, and all of Mike’s, and they’ve got all my stuff, but Tom rarely gives us any of his tracks. He’ll play us bits of something, and I’ll be asking if I can get it, and he just says no. ...he’s just very protective. I have to steal tracks from him… like that time he played something to me, and I asked and he said no, then he went into the kitchen or to the off licence or something, and I quickly copied that track. I played it recently when I was DJing somewhere, and he came up to ask what it was, so I told him it was him and he was like 'have I given it to you' and I was like, 'yeah!' He couldn’t remember… it was quite funny. I don’t really care if some of my music ends up on the net… Richard’s the same… we don’t really care." -Luke Vibert (again) |

why don't they just put it on the web then..mofos. |

see even luke vibert thinks tom is just a big pecker. first he punched a fan in the face, then he refuses to let even his best friends hear his music, and lets not forget how much his music sucks. do you know squarepusher? who would want to? |

they are rather thoughtful, Luke Viberts. |

even his brother thinks he's got a bit tough personality :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he didn't punch a fan in the face, just pushed him a bit. all because of a little misunderstanding. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
what misunderstanding? |

"I’m a bit worried about the Squarepusher tour though because I’ve never done a tour with him, and he’s a bit of a mental character. Up and down. He hasn’t successfully completed a tour for so long now. I’m sure that’s why they asked me to do it, because I’m their best insurance policy that he’ll actually finish the tour just because I’ll be there with him, holding his hand. Yeah, I’m a bit worried about that one, I don’t think that one will be much fun, it’s always a bit stressful with Tom. Everything is a bit close to him, you know, everything really affects him, he can’t just chill out. Everything is a bit intense, not very relaxing. Not like Aphex… Aphex is always the same. With Tom, one minute, he’s so mellow and the next he’s like wired." -Luke |

" [...]Tom rarely gives us any of his tracks. He’ll play us bits of something, and I’ll be asking if I can get it, and he just says no. Is it because he’s scared of finding his music on the Internet?

Last week, Japanese scientists placed explosive detonators at the bottom of Lake Loch Ness to blow Nessie out of the water. Sir Godfrey of the Nessie Alliance summoned the help of Scotland's local wizards to cast a protective spell over the lake and its local residents and all those who seek for the peaceful existence of our underwater ally. |

"Weidenbaum: What's the most surprising thing you can remember finding on the Internet about you or your music? James: Yeah. I think the funniest one I saw recently, someone had written what the "Milkman" song had meant to them, or what they thought it meant, and it was really elaborate. Like, the milk is white and the milkman's wife is God and the milk is the white whale, and stuff like that, and it was really abstract and went on for ages and got more and more obscure." -Richard hahaha :D |

Amon Tobin on sampling: "If you sample something you're giving a lot more respect to the original artists than if you adapt their melody and call it your own. At least I'm saying it's all samples, it's all from other sources, the raw material. I'm not taking any credit for it. I'm only taking credit for what I do with it, for the arrangement of the samples, the way they're put together and manipulated. When you're a musician and you do that, you're taking credit for the source and that seems to have less integrity." |

q: So did you see Jim Thirlwell up in New York? a:The bloke from Foetus? He hates me - he REALLY hates me. In fact I wound him up really badly. I'd taken the piss out of him, and he didn't like it. He got really, really... he's rubbish. He's really weak. He couldn't handle it at all. He said he was gonna kill me, and he was really trying to make me believe it. And I didn't know if he was lying or not. So I said, "I'll bet you a hundred quid that you don't kill me tonight." And he was scared - he couldn't handle it, 'cause he was trying to scare me. I said, "A hundred quid - bet on it." And he bet on it - that he would kill me by the next night. And I saw him the next night. And I was going, "Fucking a hundred quid, mate - I'm still alive." He couldn't fucking handle it. He almost hit me, actually. Gettin' so angry. It was wicked. q: You'd probably hit him back? a: I dunno. Probably, yeah. If he hit me I probably would clock him out. I'm not really into fighting though. aphex twin |

Weidenbaum: Your record, Chiastic Slide, is probably going to be listed as the number one electronic-music record of 1997 in Pulse!, the magazine that will publish a portion of this interview. Booth: What? That's fucking ridiculous. sean booth |

Thats got to be awkward. Thinking of the hype built around you and not liking it, but wanting to make a living making music, and knowing the hype is necessary. |

q: When it comes to women, would you rather date a fan or a girl who has no idea who you are? Peter Steele: I would rather date someone who has no idea who I am because, at that point, we have something in common because I have no idea who I am. If it's somebody I meet at a show, it's only because of the lighting that I look really good on stage. I'm 461 years old. My face is falling off. My colostomy bag is leaking. I fell outside. I broke my hip. I have an ingrown toe nail. My cable company shut the service off. And nobody can help me." |

Weidenbaum: Your partner in Autechre, Rob, is not around. Could you describe what portion of the music is his, or what he would say is yours — you know, vice versa. Booth: At times, yeah. But we can copy each other as well. Quite often it's things I've done and I'll say, That's so you, but I've done it. Weidenbaum: Could you take a minute to describe such a moment? Booth: No. Weidenbaum: I'm doing my best. sean booth |

AR - Does software you use have any control over Autechre output? SB - No, you have to define everything before you can even start. I don't understand what part you think the software is responsible for, exactly. AR - Generative music... SB - Well, no no what is generative music? AR - Algorithmic music, random elements in system... SB - This is the part you don't understand. You don't know what you're talking about. Do you know anything about generative music? AR - Generative to me means generative algorithms, evolving systems of... SB - So you know about mapping complex numbers against imaginary numbers, but what can you tell me about our music? Do you actually know anything about the way that we make music, or are we speculating? (laughs) |

I really liked that interview. I like how pissy Booth gets at the clichéed idea that their music is "random". |
