Irc Inspired Boredom

This is what happens when I get bored:

This was preceeded by a conversation in #renoise about how pretentious a certain artist is… and how much said artist sucks. Feel free to join #renoise to join in on such lame conversations

[dj_io (organic io)]

wow, i didn’t even catch the rdjames and []pusher until the 2nd time i read it.

personally i actually like some of BT’s stuff

yeh i agree bt is alright. i mean how could you go wrong with making a program that the completely helpless masses can use to pirate stuff!?!
xD

From that pic alone, not to mention how Tom Jenkinson and Richard D. James have appeared in interviews, I’d say BT comes off as much less pretentious. I prefer their music to his, but that doesn’t really matter. They’re no better. Not as people anyway.

[It-Alien]

lots of people say I’m pretentious, but finally I’ve found a musician who is more pretentious than me (and probably even more than Ingwie Malmsteen).

never heard of him, though. The picture on Wikipedia, which Byte-smasher has edited, is as photoshopped as Briana Banks ones…

by the way, Byte-smasher: damn! I always dreamt a t-shirt like that one! I asked to a friend of mine to make one, but she never did. (and yes, I’m too lazy to make one myself)

all i can say is, im glad i stopped raving before ppl like these took over.

[phonkey]

Never heard of the guy… but according to that wikipedia article he’s a freakin genious. Far be it from me to say that he wrote it himself though it certainly seems that way. could also be a crazy fan I guess…

He might not be top notch of the world but if you have objections against certain articles describing his work you can submit your point of view upon it…

Changing wiki articles is very easy… .

btw wtf is he talking about here:

He is also one of the direct pioneers of time correction techniques [[i]citation needed[/i]]. Time correction is where a producer takes a series of samples with random occurrence (such as rain) and time corrects each individual hit according to a rhythmic and mathematical grid, much like the BT stutter. The result is the seemingly random pulses take on a rhythmic form as well as a developing pattern, but retain their chaotic unpredictable character.

Is this just timestretching, gating or beatsync? or what?

I once read an interview with BT where he was bragging about using 10 computers at the same time and having soooo much gear and vst’s.

I quote (as good as I remember): “I have all the vst’s you have, all the vst’s your friend has and a bunch you’ve never even heard of!”

I that doesn’t make you gag…

[jiku]

You couldn’t handle that? Are you super touchy on everything, or just BT?
I don’t know… Maybe some of you guys are just dying to take everything literally, even though it’s said in obvious jest and really doesn’t even matter if it were said in all seriousness. Why, your head just turned green.

I’ve really enjoyed a lot of ESCM & Movement In Still Life, and thought that Pop was the only great thing that came out of most any boyband out there. But the pic made me laugh, and the wiki is way too biased, hardly ANY citations to the high claims about his genious and inventiveness, jeez… Wasn’t impressed by his latest album at all, but that’s a matter of taste I guess.

Let the man be what he is; A good composer and producer that makes a lot of people happy with his music. Although I wasn’t impressed by his myspace either, hehe… “Single white heterosexual male with big-breasted blonde myspace-friends on top”, wahey!

ROFL

I love it!!!

Here’s an interesting (read: hilarious) interview with the great BT: http://emusician.com/mag/emusic_sonic_surgeon/index.html

The interesting part:

When you use the word soundscape, are you also talking about the ambiences that you include in your music?

Definitely. There’s so much attention to detail put into building a space in these tracks. Take, for example, a song like “Paris”: that track has the sound of me scuba diving — which I’ve time-corrected in unreal note values above 64th notes (128th notes, 256th notes, 512th notes) — which is a technique I call nano correcting. I developed it while doing this record. So I time-corrected the sound of my scuba regulator.

Is there a simple way to explain nano correcting?

I just finished outlining a book I’m writing on time correcting and stutter editing. There will be a chapter on nano correcting. There’s going to be a chapter on frequency-specific swing and on gravitational swing and swing templates — it’s really complicated. It’s funny, because I sat down to try to explain it to myself as if I were going to articulate to another person how to do it from step one, and it’s not simple. [Laughs.] Basically, nano correction is correcting unreal note values. So anything above 64th notes.

[Foo (mr_mark_dollin)]

Sounds all too noisy for me.

Want some truly mind blowing innovative stuff (far beyond stutters), try this:

Fovea Hex http://www.janetrecords.com/

And that’s just one off the top of my head. Trance is too 1994.

@kaneel

What about dblue who got an email from him just because “glitch was sounding like him” and then asked for the source.

Oooo. This is interesting!

dBlue: care to share that email or offer some tasty details?

[choice]

heh this guy should be called BH for Big Head.

i had thought i heard something goofy about stutters, an this would be it!
