Drone-A-Day #3

luckily "day" = "full sleep cycle" for me, so I'm cheating a little and pre-dating this.

notes: cleaned up my sound a bunch by separating the Moogerfooger & Whammy II outputs. They and the Alesis DM-6 are the noisiest parts of my signal chain. Going forward, these will always be routed through my Line 6 KB-37, chiefly for the noise gate. I wonder if there's a better way of doing this with Ableton or the MOTU?

btw, why are we wearing bras on our heads?

Ae 365 day 3

Kind of a two-fer: here is one track (MCR Quarter) twice: local color from Estonia:

And the full length track, with some of that videogame crap you people like

[as]prone, Drone-A-Day, Episode 2. 01-02-2012

next week: bass guitar-derived drones

365 Days of Autechre, episode 2

To me, the essence of a beautiful Autechre moment is where you find their combo breaker-trademark hypnotic ostinato /simultaneous texture stun. @2:10, por ejemplo.

365 Days of Autechre, rebooted) Day 1

let's try this again, shall we? Every day of 2012, I shall endeavor to post a video or audio clip of my favorite group, Autechre.

the time has come for the best of deeds

It is my goal to try and make one soundscape/drone a day for the next year.

this aint honey?

Driven by hunger, a fox tried to reach some grapes hanging high on the vine but was unable to, although he leaped with all his strength. As he went away, the fox remarked, 'Oh, you aren't even ripe yet! I don't need any sour grapes.' People who speak disparagingly of things that they cannot attain would do well to apply this story to themselves.- Phaedrus IV.3

See, I interpret the story differently. Phaedrus, nor Aesop, were there, nor did they speak Fox. There was a critical mistranslation. I have a couple of furry friends with Ur-Quelle manuscripts, and what the fox ACTUALLY said was,

"Why bother? I'm trying to evolve from an omnivore to a obligate carnivore, because that's how the sea creatures do it, and they seem pretty with it. FUCK THOSE GRAPES! I WANT BLOOD!"

The fox then put Hate Worldwide on and ran down a rabbit who'd gotten fat on ballads and strawberries.
