wrong... no, i'm not saying you're wrong - i'm sure autechre think fractals are a really cool way to make music; aphex twin thought it was cool using pictures to make music, and has used them in a track, and fractals are a probably easier way to do it.

oh, it's very alien, and oddly enough, comfortably familiar =) i personally think that if fractals were used, they likely sampled sections they liked, instead of re-arranging fractals to create entire songs (which would be even more unlikely, although the repeating patterns of fractals could very well explain the rhythms ;) )

right? oh, i'm here for the discussion as well. i was merely stating that the selection of the Wire you quoted referenced the cover and liner art of said release, and did not make reference to the music. i personally like using individual programs to create odd sounds, and then use those sounds in various degrees to create something, but not the one program for one track. i'm sure that autechre are similar, since they stated in that interview which was posted recently that they have some mates which get sucked into software and don't end up doing anything (cough aphex cough). --- actually, on a somewhat different tangent, i've noticed that aphex, who used to be known for using modified hardware to create all his tracks, really got into computers and has since released significantly less music, whilst someone that used to be compared to him - mike paradinas - still uses basically all hardware, and is quite prolific. this could be that having hardware requires more money, or it could mean absolutely nothing at all. but i've gotten sucked into a couple programs and was more interested with all the weird things i could do than actually producing anything. it of course bears no point in bringing up, but i wonder if any other artists have experienced this (or can be presumed to experience this). cheers, \derek --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
