Hello everyone. Who in your opinion has the best technical ability in electronica to date ?. Im not talking about the best songs just overall abillity. some strong contenders must be .... 1Jega 2Aphex 3v snares |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Autechre!!! |
||||||||
|
|

Amon Tobin and Richard Devine. Though I'm not really into Devine... his music is very impressive. |

mmm yes they have that good trick they do to drums, they change the beat to a different style of beat over a few bars of the tune and end up with something totaly different . thats skill! |
||||||||

Lipswitch by richard devine is impressive i agree. not easy on the ears though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hard to tell, cause it's hard to hear most of the time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hard to hear if someone is "one" with there equipment. or you are just hard of hearing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think if aphex really felt like it he could kick anyones ass when it comes to technicality. Tho i would say Squarepusher and Autechre have done some serious audio trickery lately. Richard Devine sure. Its hard to say really. |

crunch squarepusher hrvatski (got some crazy shit, you hear marbles?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yea i suppose its a tricky question . I also think aphex is the master masher but he will have to keep on his toes to be the best as there are people catching up to him . I wish he would realese some of his live stuff on a big album because some of the tunes ive heard live have blown all his other albums out of the water!. Ive seen him 5 times and has never once dissapointed me. |

whats crunch like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree. People are definitely catching up to Mr. James. He should just go ahead and release his 'too weird' material. If it's so ahead of it's time, why hold it back? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Bring it on richard, im ready for it baby! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm in regards to technical ability as a musician...i'd say squarepusher definitely but when comparing technical ability as far as making sounds... its really hard to say.. you cant really judge 'ability' when it comes to experimentation... everyone's doing something different...often with different equipment and techniques |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the obvious choice: richard d. james! he is, in my opinion, the best at what all these other idiots [sorry] try to make. don't get me wrong, i enjoy a lot of different 'idm' artists, but I think richard will always be the most technically advanced... he's just brilliant |
||||||||

|
|
autechre |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
autechre and crunch then probably otto von schirach, michael fakesch, richard devine, r. d. james. the people making the software are the real techno wizards. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what label is crunch on so i can check it out? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
amazing, get crunch 1 and crunch 2 |
||||||||
|

|
|
yes mr. AFX, like your hit song we have to "praise you" like we should! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
first get crunch 1 though. it's on musik aus strom. crunch 1 is much better. it's magically delicious. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sssh, don't tell him that crunch is our collaberation material we're sneakily promoting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hum... anyway, everybody knows that's it's me who have the best technical abilities, musicaly and electronicaly WORLDWIDE !!! =) |
||||||||

Have you played with an MS-20 E-man? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i bought one last year for like nothing with the allmighty SQ-10 (sequencer) since then i can't get my hands out of it... you can just do everything that comes in your mind with it (except midi) it's delightfull and it's complete artistic freedom, just wish it was polyphonic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love the hardcore filter! It's sooo harsh, and tasty. Have you tried any CV gate midi things to control it or do you edit things after, or leave it as it was recorded? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the cv/midi is a must have, but i'm broke now, so i record and fuck with it in cooledit, not very convenient... but yeah the filter man!! WHOAAA i got a chorus and a flanger pedal, plus a digital echo (that was a revolution) in an old big samick mixer, i still miss a reverb and a disto and i go to heaven ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Any beat-editing impresses the hell out of me, probably one of the reasons I like <-----So much |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
who is <----- ??? i don't see is face |

hmm in regards to technical ability as a musician...i'd say squarepusher definitely He's certainly the most capable of making music per se... if you rounded up a bunch of electronic musicians--say, the whole Warp crew--and handed them acoustic instruments and a 4-track he'd mop the floor with them. He's got chops as they say. Given their choice of weapons though Autechre is hard to beat. Disks like ep7 and Confield have changed the definition of music and how it can be made... they take categories like concrete and abstract and utterly invert them. |

richard d james can make an entire track out of an empty soda can and a carpet from bass drum i read that somewhere... imagine the tack : very repetitive with a bizare soda-can solo troughout the song! =) |

Hi fleetmouse nearly didnt recognise you , youve turned into a cat ! yea squarepusher is somthing special isnt he. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he is THE mixer-man, i saw him at pukkelpop this year, it was really cool, flawless! one of the best souvenir i keep, better than the aphex set! |

Rob Jenkins could give RDJ a good run for his money.... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
sure... huu, who is rob jenkins ? |
||||||||
|

Tom is fockin special. I'd love to hear him collaborate with some virtuoso non-electronic musicians like John McLaughlin or Herbie Hancock. Dunno if you've ever heard Inner Mounting Flame or Birds of Fire by McLaughlin, but I can imagine Tom playing bass in realtime along with them (the bands, not the CDs) and then feeding the mix through his computer.... o sweet madness that would be.... I think the best music in the coming years is going to come from this kind of thing - live music given the electronic treatment. Some of the most exciting music these days is coming from treated guitar recordins, like Fennesz and Zammuto. |

ah ok, you know my grandma could beat the shit out of you if she heard you, she is the biggest saw1,2 fan i know, she only like tha and ageispolis from saw1, and not the darker tracks on sawII (but she likes the one with just voices and drones) and it's crazy how fan she is! like ophecks and the beatles there is my grandma and the saw's =) |

Hybrid & Squarepusher, Aphex, AE & tons of other people |

yeah you know whatever etc yada blah blah etc yada you know whatever |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would say autechre too.. they're sounds really amaze me, RDJ's sounds not so much.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Autechre for electronic ability. Squarepusher for melding live instruments into the mix. Boc for warping sounds and sheer fucked-up out-of-tune-in-a-good-way ability. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree on tricky dicky devine.. very good.. |
