Confield WTF??

well i started with ep7, which scared me away for a while.
with confield, i think the melodies are actually in the
beats and rhythms, its more of an exercise in texture. i
don't think its great, but its good enough.

i understand everything.
i created it
i created confield as a test
it seperates teh people who know quality from the people who
have a self-perception of an ideally original individual.
you are all the konstrukt's of the twelve.
never forget that.
you have seperated yourselves into these two categories and
beyond quite nicely and i thank you for your participance in
this little experiment.
now if you'll excuse me i must get back to my latest
'identity'>knell.
RDJ aka AFX aka tom jenkins AKA squarepusher AKA autechre
AKA god.

stop it, you guys are going to drive me insane. have you
ever heard pan sonic? merzbow? sawII??? melody is not a
prerquisite for making music. it's an option. all of music
is noise. why not take it to a purer form? why not make
music purely out of noise. it seems natural. somtimes melody
can be a distraction when you're trying to make communicate
with sounds. so eliminate it! it's not always necessary.

mm... have you not listened to it in a while? there's some
noise tracks. [while listening to it] track 11 on disc one.
on disc 2- track 4, track 9, and track 10 (arguable I
suppose)

I prefer melody, that's mainly what I look for in a song...
but it's always nice to go off and try something else.
Confield is freakin' unique...

I do miss their pretty synth stuff from Amber and
Incubabula, though. Nice melodies, they're definitely
capable of some more.

my only advice would be to leave the album alone for at
least a month, better if two, and then listen to it again.

for all you pholks who think ae is soooo radical and cutting
edge i invite you to step into the time machine and go back
7 years or so to when i was listening to this new and
cutting edge 'musik' phenomenon called noise.
it's been doen to death, and to be honest i have no idea how
i listened to that rubbish for two years?
noise, jazz, and classical were all i listened to.
noise is so old and now it's returned to 'kewl' kutür with
the likes of ae.
bollocks.
they are doing nothing at all even close to the quality of
'noise' that came out in the early to mid 90s.
jus the same, it was a response to popp culture and a really
lame one at that.
if one is to listen to the natural sounds, as opposed to the
fabricated, i'd rather listen to rain on my roof thank you
very much.
and to the boarder dude>you aren't missing a thing!
MWA HA HHA HAHAH DDD

so you're saying we shouldn't listen to ae cause it's all
been done before?

Yeah, I guess that's what they're saying.

skodt - can you give us some recommendations for those of us
who like Confield and would like more of the same...

I checked out Noise Genre at Allmusic but which artist(s) should you
start with?

Noise may have been done before, but melody has been done
MUCH more.

When a noise is more effective than a melody I see no reason
not to use it...
It's the endresult that counts, not the ingredients

skodt...you alive during the Futurism Art movement in Italy
duing the first deade of last century?...

I guess not....

Read the Manifestos issued then and you'll see exactly what
a huge part noise played in that movement....

http://www.unknown.nu/futurism/noises.html

The Art of Noises, by Luigi Russolo
Published as a booklet July 1, 1913.

The Painting of Sounds, Noises, and Smells, by Carlo Carrà

August 11, 1913.

And you wondered where The Art of Noise got their name
from.....

Cheers for the cool link Jand. I remember reading about
these crazy cats a few years ago. YOu wonder how they did
it. I think even Autechre get a rough ride today, imagine
what it must have been like a century ago. People like
Russolo are an inspiration. (he also came from portogruaro
in the Veneto!)
