I really find it interesting that you can hate someone based on so little knowledge of them. I would say that, how i act on this board is pretty much how i act in real life. Except for the fact, that i more often say "fuck off" or something similar, if someone does something i dislike on this board. I, for example, hated ezzkeralden for making loads of shit topics (wich he does) But i'm quite sure, that i could have a grand time if i had a drink with him at a pub somewhere. I'd really love to see for example, Cygnus and dog_belch have a conversation in real life. On the other hand, i feel better about being honest about music someone produces, if they are "strangers". (online friends, you might say) I generally say to all the people that i know in real life that makes music, that i like it. Here, i really try to give some constructive critisism (because i believe i'm able to give it) DISCUSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I really find it interesting that you can hate someone based on so little knowledge of them. it's because no matter what little knowledge you have, it's all the knowledge you have, and thus it's what you establish a relation to. case closed. |

I do generally dislike most people, because I find the majority are charlatans and fools. I don't actively chide them in real life because I'm loath to have any contact with them beyond the entirely neccessary. Online however, I feel I can call people out, rightly or wrongly, whenever I want, as I can turn the bastards off and have nothing more to do with them, once I've bored myself. Occasionally I meet people and I really, really like them and invariably we click and have a grand time. Most people, however, do my fucking head in and I'd love to fucking do them over. |

No, you'd still be aware that this knowledge is very thin. Is it not intersting, that you can generate feelings from so little? |

I read somewhere that most people either basically trust, or distrust all people they havent met. I'm more in the naive/positive boat there. |

In real life I'm actually quite sexy. Like, for instance, I talk to girls and stuff. Here I'm just a geek like the rest of you. And it's good that way. It keeps things in perspective, which is always healthy. |

I, for example, hated ezzkeralden for making loads of shit topics (wich he does) But i'm quite sure, that i could have a grand time if i had a drink with him at a pub somewhere. So after the nights gone really well, and a few pitchers have been drank, he says something very opinionated and similar to his post method on forums. You slowly begin to realize the core of him. He is the person behind the posts. It all becomes more and more clear, you reach into your wallet to pay for the drinks and tell him you've just remembered you've got to be somewhere. |

even if I know that my knowledge of what the rest of the universe holds, I still have relate to it from time to time. in other words even if the amount of knowledge you have about something is very very small, but that's all you have, that's what you relate to. I relate to what I believe you, not to what I believe you may be. Of course, it's possible that my attitude towards you can change if I gain more knowledge about you, like if I found out you were the worlds first successful turing computer, but even then, especially when it comes to humans, I can't be sure. Even if I meet you in real life, you could be lying, acting, pretending, and I'd never know the real you, but to me that doesn't matter; I relate to what I believe you are, not to what I believe you could be. |

Sure, that explains why Bush is president. But still, it might sound a bit pretentious, but i'd like to believe that i try to keep my mouth shut about things i'm certain i hardly know anything about. Like the nature of some guy/girl sitting behind a keyboard somewhere. |

I think the internet is a fun place to act out, be stupid, and crazy. theres no rules In real life I'm just a kind, pleasant dude. That's how I was raised; I just mind my own business and do my own thing, but when the time is right, i love to get into mischief .. i like to explore and analyze I would love to meet anyone from xltronic in real life because I enjoy all of the interactions I have here. What I fear is anyone here taking facets of my online persona and applying them to my real-life persona. you know? for example, i think dog_belch might punch me in the eye, or take a heavy object and break it across my head GLADE 07: THE GREAT XLTRONIC MEETUP |

does anyone here even distinguish me from the general clutter of posts? I'd say I only recognize about 5% of the people that frequently post here (or anywhere) as separate individuals. But then sometimes I feel closer to certain individuals on here than I do in real life, which is a bit disconcerting. I really can't judge my online persona, it's all over the place... am I the "quirky" guy? probably not... you can read all about what some girl from my highschool thought of me you can view this girl's myspace you can buy my collaboration cd (with milieu) |

Without reading your links, i remember that you had a problem with your ass, and you have a good sense of humour. I certainly feel more attached to some members here than others. |

I take the liberty of lying quite a bit on line, but only when someone presents a view in need of opposition. |

there are people who have distinct personalities here... and it's not for just how long they've been around. (these are just internet personas) redrum you can sort of imagine as neil patrick harris in his early years - but he speaks with a rich irish accent - and is the type of guy who will stay with you through a conversation right up until he starts disagreeing with you,whereupon he frowns heavily and looks confused or angry while taking a sip of beer dog_belch you can kinda visualize as a squattier john leguizamo, but not as well dressed, wears less leather and gold and frowns a lot, if he disagrees with you - he doesn't say a word- while he just stares into your soul and wants to rip you apart. and you get scared! but then comes the friendly sigh,mental handshake and agree-to-disagree, then an earth-shattering subject shift into the 1990's - which you've both just silently agreed will be easier to talk about impakt is a wider-eyed and chippier version of garfield i imagine, likes to sit down and raise his eyebrows in agreeance, and smile and scratch his head a lot.. is that true??? |

What I don't understand about young people is their confusion between being disagreed with, and being fucking wrong, as in, based on facts, misinformed, erroneous, incorrect, wrong. |

i_x_ten is a long, blonde-haired Ali G who drinks a fruit juice supplement ever morning, will take you into his bedroom and show you a hard drive, whereupon he'll ask you, in a fashion similar in style to a drug dealer selling you some shit -- "hey......... do you like drum and bass?" leaving you with the assumption that the hard drive is full of drum and bass mp3's. so you say, "oh, yeah! but i didn't bring my laptop." to which he raises one eyebrow and says, "oh no problem......... i got the ftp..." and then does a skateboard trick or something, and plays nintendo... |

i'll ask them in real life someday, hopefully with hyak nearby :] and i hope i will understand his ways |

First of all my man; you are not old. My dad is 62. THAT is old. That you've mentioned Kid Frost--- I'll assume you're in the range of 30-35. If that is old, well, then guys like my dad are ancient. Artifacts of the 1940's. Do you miss being young? |

No reason to be a prick online, though I can understand why some people feel they have carte blanche to do so. It's annoying, but human. I like the weirdos I encounter online. |

"I feel closer to certain individuals on here than I do in real life" that was aimed in your direction xoxo oh and what happened when you were a mod? I'm partly like jesus in that I forgot. I just remember you were raging and menacing and unstoppable, but the specifics elude me. Something about the phrase "moribund moping schtick" and the word "joyless" being thrown around. It was like one of those movies where two characters get into a big fight and start crying and yelling at each other but end up crying on each others' shoulders and having a touching moment. Yeahhhh |

i think "formidable" is a more accurate description of dog_belch, but then again, i know him as well as the next joe xlter |

I'd like to state as well, while where having a manly chat about this, that Uviol is probably one of the most underrated members here. He's a thoughtfull and truly nice guy, that makes some very intersting music. |

d_belch can sometimes be quite aggressive...online. and i hope he's not that aggressive offline. i wonder what falito is doing now, btw |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

uviol has a special internet aura, that's for sure. I can't think of anything about the guy; I don't remember a word he's written, but somehow he has left an impression... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess he just manages to be kind and civil, while being liked by most. He should be a guru maybe. |

For some reason I tend to be less opinionated online. I also think due to that Im not anyone to remember here. Perhaps I should be more honest Mr Belch-I respect those that call others out, I always try to do that in real life. I know we havent ever had a discussion before but usually in your rude angry ramblings you have almost complete validity...which is something I hardly see online, you just go the extra mile and remind the people how daft they actually are (im waiting for my wrath for posting this) its odd though I remember when I posted here early on you were a much more optimistic person. usually people are just jerks for the sake of being jerks I dont usually think that of you, sometimes though I think damn he went too far. Dirty Priest I always hope when I spam you review it, mostly because you give honest opinions. I do like the "oh its nice" but it doesnt really help me progress, so I appreciate the honesty interesting thread |

some people just resonate with you as people who you would avoid, you can tell by the things they say about how they live their life. mostly for me its because they remind me of real people i know |

if it's in the name of a good flame war im all for calling someone else out - but when one party just stops replying in the middle of the thread and logs off cause theyre mad - or actually gets serious and brings rationality and logic into the discussion it's just retarded |

oh thanks! umm throwing ether if you wouldnt mind, I would also say Angel Crash, but for some reason zebox slowed it down. |

Throwing Ether: + *On the plus side, i really enjoyed the squarepusherish complexity to it. Lots of good details * The "youre ready" sample, and the things that come after that bit are quite nice - *The whole song revolves around one synth riff that i don't think is that strong. Try using some chord progression or something. Suddenly changing the riff and the sounds drastically. In general, i think you pay too much attention to detail, before you have something that really deserves to be worked on. Try making 10 different basslines in one day, and then listen to them the next day and see wich ones you like best. I could imagine the way you started your track was "i want to make some []pusher like beats NOW!!!" |

Ha! Well I hope I'm right, I believe I'm right, I don't say things "just because", regardless of whether it's online or off. I freely admit I am a fool and an idiot, but I only ask people are themselves and not... well all the other things people do. On the other hand I am the King of the Rash Judgement, and more than a couple of the people I would now call my true friends I originally made very prejudicial assements of when we first meant, so, I know I'm not always right. |

hahaha youre right I usually write by making a couple of bars then I go back and try and perfect them, then move forward and I repeat this process until I finish. Problem is I usually dont know where to go next after finishing up a couple of bars. sometimes it makes something incoherit and other times it creates writers block (like this time) This definitely helps ill try this out thanks again! |

Maybe it would help to imagine that you're writing something that one should be able to play with a guitar or a piano. You can imagine that with a lot of aphex's stuff, because it's brilliant. I'm a big fan of melodies. So that would be my advice, make something simply that you can listen to for long, without hating it, or feeling bland about it, and THEN start doing the advanced beat thing (wich you actually do quite well) |
