there is good and there is even better music. it is not neccessary to have good control of your synths and machines but there are artists and pieces of music which proof that these artists have not only good control of their machines, but you might think the machines are body extensions of the artists. name artists who seem to have synths and machines as body extensions |

autechre, with ep7 and confield they totally proved to me they are master of their machines also cristian vogel seems to know his machines pretty well and can form music like modelling clay (examples: rescate 237 and dungeon master) |
||||||||

|

i would say autechre too but not for ep7 or confield but for the untilted live series where you can hear their progress from live set to live set. madlib is a master for me for being able to make a hole album using a cassette portastudio and a boss sampler. |

live series? where can i get these? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Yeah im with you on that , Madlib use crazy simple equipment and make whole Jazz Albums . Impressive to say the least. |
||||||||
|

|
live series = live sets. the 2006 live sets. they played the same set all over again every time with slight changes. you can get most of them from the xltronic torrents |

nod osdam is another hiphop producer who has severely impressed me with his skills on limited equipment (much like madlib, the clouddead selftitled is entirely composed with an 8 track tape, boss sampler and a radioshack microhpone.) itd feel wrong to not mention richard devine in this thread, although who knows if he has any real control over what he's doing :P also, im sure you guys are tired of hearing me talk about them, but justice have a great feel for their sounds - they can pull, rip and distort any little sound at the drop of the hat it sounds like. |

i think if you gave mr devine something extremely limiting he would still produce some crazy tings. |
||||||||

what do you mean by "control"? AE get deep with sequencing obviously but its whats in the human brain to start with - its the ideas. yanni is a a stellar pianist but he is indistinguishable from any other stellar pianist |
||||||||

richard devine likes kyma presets |
||||||||
|
|

"control" means in this context that the artist can not only manipulate his sounds but form and model them. When you listen to autechre's ep7 or confield, or cristian vogel's stuff it sounds like they are not sampling the stuff and repeating but they can form the sounds into any shape they feel like. there are some albums and artists who can do that, and that's the question in this thread. who artists or albums do you know which sound "controlled", not just sampled and repeated over and over again. |
||||||||

it would be quite a great idea to make such a compilation where you would tak the "big guys" (afx, sp, ae, devine etc.) and give them, let's say an korg emx-1 or an roland mc 808 only on which they would have to do a track for it. i wanna add merzbow to this set - come on who else can make whole albums by crashing chairs, recording it and puting it trough a guitar distortion pedal? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually ep7 isn't really a good add. i mean we know that those where the days of algorythmic selv-evovling sequencers build in max/msp. they mastered max maybe but in the sense of your topic rather their program control them than the other way round. i'm very sure that most of those tracks where recorded in the "press play and see what comes out" mood. |

steedie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you are right. but autechre are guys who know their machines very good, even if confield and ep7 are not the best examples of that |
||||||||

im listening to one word extinguisher and am hereby adding prefuse to this list. |
||||||||
|

i heard he made that whole album on an mpc - i don't believe it though. |

go plastic and drukqs, end of discussion |
||||||||
|
|

You are all wrong! Kraftwerk is the obvious answer. They are practically robots. |

It's "Odd Nosdam". :) |

I would say King Tubby. |

Good choice. |

woah, spoonerism. hahaha, good catch. :P |

drukqs. untilted isn't my fav release, but in the context of "machines", it fits better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Autechre and Aphex definitely. Mind... you say control... I like it when I'm making music and I'm NO LONGER in control of whatever in front of me's doing (in a good way of course). I love getting lost in loads of patching stuff, it's great! |

Aphex is the best at this. His music sounds like everything he did is not an accident, but still groundbreaking and full of seemingly happy accidents. Does that make sense? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the mastering of drukqs is sheer unbelievable. just listen to it. can you hear how much is going on with the bass drum in 54 cymru beats? or the breakdown with the bells in mt. saint michel. my fuckin good. but actually looking at the fact that he can probably have every gear he wants then i cannot add him to this topic. |
