"I have always tried to push the boundaries of what could be
considered electronic music, and take that to a new
dimension." Hmmmmm....

it's no wonder that Devine has worked with everyone from
BT and Trent Reznor to Apple and Audi—using a wealth of
M-Audio gear including the Oxygen 8 v2 keyboard controller,
Octane preamp, Solaris microphone and more.


hahaha

"The detail that you can capture is unreal. There are so
many positive things I could say about M-Audio hardware and
software that I could be here for days talking about this."


“I have used M-Audio products on every single project that
I have worked on, whether it was sound design for other
audio companies, TV commercials, video games or sound
tracks,” Devine concludes. “It's been the workhorse gear
that keeps on going and going.”

richard devine much be the most fake ass wanker in idm
world
he is really copying other artist and make it worse
i once tried to listen to it but it is all pretentious
tweaking of lame sounds and he is trying to be as
interesting as autechre or something he s really trying too
hard

but as all americans are fake they probably prefer richard
devine over british artist thats why he did became what you
can call famous or something. He's is really typical
american who wants to do it bigger than autechre

Why so done on Devine?...His faster intricate is far more
musical than much of Ae (who seem to consider process more
interesting than output far too often...)..

And who can blame RD for product endorsments...everyone has
to pay the rent after all and anything that let's a musician
continue to make interesting, forward thinking music in
today marketplace is good by me...

Vive le Devine!!...

Much of Richard Devines stuff just flat out bores me. There
are a couple of tracks that I like (including the come to
daddy remix) but they are interesting rather than grabbing.
Obviously that is just my opinion, something cygnus seems to
think I shouldn't be entitled to.

I don't dislike him, I just prefer the ae take on the ae
sound.

Wow, lots of Richard Devine haters here. I really like his
approach to sound design and think he creates wicked
atmosphere. I don't know how anyone can be into the
production side of things and not appreciate what this guy
does. Also I haven't heard anyone that sounds like him.
Please make me aware of who these artists are that he
supposedly imitates. i'd probably really enjoy their
music.

Closest thing resembling a criticism I have for RD would be
that a lot of his stuff sounds pretty similar.

well I've been searching for something similar to what
richard devine does. and honestly I haven't heard anything
that comes near it in terms of production or detail. except
for shapeshifter maybe. he made an album that's kinda
aleamapper-ish.

fuck this guy. Ive had enough of his sponsorship bullshit
and his flaunting his ferrari synths at everyone. Im all for
discussing hardware, but he just seems like he's really
exclusive about it. Like he's personal friends with Delia
Derbyshire and she came back from the dead to build a
special tape loop machine just for him. Thats how tight he
is with the elite synth crowd. Fuck off you dick head.

Points: 4910 Status: Lurker



That deep baseline that comes in halfway to "Dansk Rap" is
awsome. The first half is pretty boring though.

I like Devine. Latley I've really been enjoying his remix of
Otto Von Schiarch's Laptop's and Martinis (for the Armpit
Buffet album).

My problem is that sometimes within the course of a track he
will hit on something REALLY sweet, like a certian deep
growl sound that he will only use once, for example. And I
just wish he would have taken that sound and run with it for
a little bit, rather then immediatly moving on. I mean his
music is looped enough, he could easily run with some of his
better sounds a little longer.

That's the fundatmental difference between Autechre and
Devine for me... when ae hits on a new interesting
sound/idea within a track they ALWAYS explore it for a
period of time. That's why ae keeps me coming back for more
and Devine's albums are mostly forgettable.

I can see the skill and immense detail involved in his
productions; it's just that I find the sounds and the way
that they develop throughout a track really dull. I have all
three of his albums, and there are some great tracks, but
that typical stutery, mechanical, screechy glitch sound gets
a bit much after a while. I find that other, better bands or
artists in the same genre tend to inject more variety into
their sound design and in the way their tracks evolve.

I saw Richard Devine play outdoors in a forest last
december. And he went off! It was great! Hands down the most
intense, mind-blowing and all round best live electronic act
I've ever seen (No-one tours australia but I've seen: aphex,
prefuse, vibert, phonecia, monolake) Most of the people
there were into psy trance, so it absolutely gutted them-
they hated it. But seriously, it was great

I still have to familiarize myself with who's sarcastic all
the time and who's sincere, being the xltronic newb that I
am. It can be hard to tell because I've heard a lot of
people on messageboards say a lot of ridiculous things that
have been said in all seriousness.

I'll definitely have to see his live set sometime if he's
ever in my area. I imagine the sound at a RD show would be
quite exceptional. It's good to hear he's got the
performance side of things down as well as the technical
side.

Hehe, I know what you mean and I'm not trying to make it
hard on you just because you're "new". I'm mostly just
sincere all the time, but I like to have fun with "idm" and
some of the pretentious things a lot of artists say in their
interviews.
