This very short essay is all according to my tastes! My english is awful so please excuse Very few artists today maintain a high ability to discern a "fat beat". I personally think too many artists get away with creating simple, uncreative, un-thought-out beats. If not a fat beat, then a fat sound. Like that vivacious, destructive WHOMP of dansk rap by richard devine. Or that loud, wrenching, delicious terror of netlon sentienl by Autechre. Those 2 are a few of many but are the best example I can think of... "a creative music sound that is not a fat beat" Fat beats stimulate my mind more than any drug has ever in my entire life. Draft 7.30 is currently the album containing the most "fat beats" , and the fattest beats in history. It is the most creative album I have ever heard. Terrifically done, the beats are all extremely dynamic. Some are simply intense, fast paced, and fat. It is like having your brain taken apart, placed in the blender which is Draft 7.30 and your brain is milkshaked by fat beats. I have listen to reniform puls over a hundred times and I pick up certain things that I had not previously picked up before during some listenings. This same thing goes for all autechre albums. Your ears never are full drenched by their tracks, you only get certain parts wet. When you feel as if you are being soaked though you KNOW it -- for reasons individual and personal to you. I feel as if sometimes that if i grasped the entirety of certain fat beats created by them that I would turn into something else. instead the energy is turned into microorganic visual kinetics A fat beat is basically un-explainably by any english adjectives. It is imperative that we begin to understand fat beats on the micro level. It is imperative that we listen to as much autechre as we can so that we can be raised to this higher state -- gescom too. Richard devine aswell. DID ANY OF YOU FUCKING LISTEN TO THE BEATS ON THAT GESCOM RADIO SHOW. "ONE WORLD"??? THAT MOTHER FUCKING SHIT WAS SO FAT. |

pinnacles of fat beats: Richard Devine's remix of Come to Daddy Reniform Puls by Autechre 54 Cyrmu Beats by Aphex Twin whole album of Draft 7.30 Left Blank by autechre. JESUS GOD THAT SHIT IS FUCKING FAT TO YOUR BOOTY. YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT BOOTY SHAKING? Autechre live in NY 1999 (you'll have to download this one) The juiciness of the last piece of this act is unexplainable by human adjectives "lipswitch" by richard devine is a fucking definitive album in vehement, furious hard beats Buy ASECT/DSECT, it is not as fat as lipswitch but it has Dansk Rap, Corina Chirac, and Isuko... |

Like those neuromechanical jacked up beats? Those ones that you cannot really bump to, but they get in your brain and make you think of huge robotic asses being shaked? Treat yourself to ENVANE -- released in 1997 I think |

Hahaha I think someone is passionate about Auty Echer. Good to see you mention Envane, the beat on Laughing Quarter (track 3) requires me to fan myself quite a bit otherwise I would pass out, especially when the melodic elements drop out for the final minute. I will download everything else you recommended. |

it was an interesting text. But since you're so passionate about the subject, I think you should record yourself talking about it, and you should lay up the beats so I could hear them. In short : do a radioshow about it! |

this was a good essay thankyou. i read it with my morning coffee. pleez write another. this time on skinny beats. ie, when a song contains a breakdown or a sophisticated and pure pattern change like 1/2 pace or a hi-hat change like spectral spare and gives the listener a chance to digest the fat element of the song. eg. Mt Saint Nicholas contains epiliptical fat beats and spectral skinny beats and seemlessly moves between the two. |

i took your advice and completed a volunteer DJ application form at KNON http://www.knon.org/index.php?id=246 they have a show that plays warp and warp-related artists i think, but they also play alot of shit. alot of synth pop is played on the show. hardly any talented or creative artists if that doesnt work -- i will send something in to be played one-time for that show. hopefully they'd do it? i dont know |

laughing quarter is good but "gimmik - le ciel" is the best...jesus christ, that track is so good that it's not normal. |

there is something very primal about a well performed "fat beat". |

i totally get it. great words, cyg! i honestly wish, there was some fucking way, that i could put force this understanding to some of my friends who just don't get this music. i really do....sigh :/ if only they knew. |

haha reniform puls is fantastic...the whomps/thumps are so drawn out...your brain really anticipates them to hit in and leave at a smaller pace. Each time, no matter how many times I hear the track, my brain hears the begining of the "fat beat" and wants to end it before it actually does. my brain kinda of, anticipates it ending well before it actually does good call :) fat aka lagging beats |

I often wonder, since IDM is really the only music where I can have a re-inforced opinion, that no one person really hears a song the same way as another. I would love to be able to listen to a song that I have compiled in my head, and can only listen to a certain way; the way that the beats, build up, notes, have been compiled in my head.....I wish I could listen to a song the way you guys do, and vice versa...and hear what parts I am missing. I compile a run of a track and I pick up certain parts (of reniform puls, for example) where I follow it real fast, then get slowed WAY down on a few notes, then sped right back up again. I've tried numerous times and just cannot stop listening to this song (for example) one way. I simply cannot change how I listen to this song no matter how I try...it's so .... well, unforgiving. |

My favorite part of Draft is Xylin Room, at like 3:16 or whatever (depending on the mp3s you have, i don't know what exact time it is on my vinyl upstairs). but it's right where there's a slight buildup...then it hesitates off for a second, then WHAM, you get slammed with that high, quiet melody that continues on for the rest of the track. When that high / quiet melody first slams in, is one of the most powerful parts in a song I have ever experienced. It's like a shroom trip, and right when it slams in, the curtains come CRASHING down around you, and a fully extent trip unfolds in front of your eyes at the speed of light. |

I can make faces and distord my face to every beat and twist of Draft 7.30. I seriously think I could act the album out to a deaf person, simply by making abrasive facial expressions.. chew on that. |
