do you get that sometimes. you now when you make music for a while and you think that your music is getting better and better and then you launch up some album of a favourite artist of yours and you end up thinking there is no use in making music because you'll never achieve this sort of sound? i have this today. i was working on a few more abstract things today and ended up listening to untilted. i just broke down. i mean the sound of it. the lushness of tracks. the thing that makes them sound abstract yet dance'y and simple on the other hand. jeez i wanna sound like that. have to give up music i guess (again). |

I feel the same with writing. I haen't sold my first novel yet but I'm sur some sort o' evil J. K. Rowling will steal my soul and stuff. But then again I look at my penis and feel good again. |

i won't be satisfied until each thread reaches the abyss. although come to think of it, that doesn't seem particularly satisfying either. nevertheless. |

start making music just for yourself. for your own pleasure. but if you're thinking about huge career and you're serious in that post - yeah, you better jump off the roof or come to the dark side. we have THE POWER TO SUMMON COOL CHICKS |

I read Travels With Charlie and found this refreshing bit from steinbeck: ONLY THROUGH IMITATION DO WE DEVELOP TOWARD ORIGINALITY remember early ae ? |

not really following your point. you wanna say that they copied someone ? who ? |

the whole progression (?) of human kind relies on imitation and inspiration. it's not like people live alone in a cave and then suddenly release incunabula. |

if you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original |

i don't consider myself an 'artist', but yeah, i get it all the time. i think dickie once talked about locking himself up, just focusing on making his own sound, and not get influenced by other people's music. it does sound like a great idea, but will eventually turn you into howard hawks/fucking loony. |

obi: dood of corz i was talking about the chicks. phresh: i not what you mean when saying "artist". i generally hate when people say that about me. i mean an artist is someone for me who puts some feeling and drama into his tracks. my tracks are basically stone cold because my way of creating is just different - it's all maths, structure. i think of myself more as an engineer. might be because of the lack of musical education though. |

i'm not sure. what you think is stone cold, might evoke some kind of feeling or emotion with the listener. then again, it might be total shit. |

Don't worry about it man. When the idea for a good song comes to you, it will come. No use forcing it. And while it may be good to some, others might not like it. Just write music when you're in the mood, and at least enjoy it for yourself. |

michigan. i like saying michigan. i have no relations to america, but i like to say michigan regardless. there's something inside the word, like a sunken treasure chest. right now i'm a diver, and all of a sudden i spot a chest buried in the mud. michigan within. it reminds me of this one time i went to sweden and saw a rollercoaster. |

autechre have limitations. there are things that they are good at, and there are other things that others are better at than them. we don't love their music because they are the most skilled electronic musicians of ever in every catagory, because they are not. they have just shaped and developed a very unique sound over their career that has been very influential. don't look too much to just them, look at who influenced them, who they like, and what interests & influences you share in common. then try to look at other angles and approaches they didn't cover. what is it about experimental electronic music that you like? what is your personal take on it? i think within that you can give a nod to those who came before, without going through the frustration of trying to live up them. |
