naturally, there's nothing wrong with experimentation and misuse of
technology. especially in a digital environment where the equipment is
virtual and there's almost no chance that you could actually damage any of
your "equipment" by driving anything too hard. listen to track 5 on ae's
EP7... i love the way the compression is misused on that track... in fact,
listen to all of EP7 as i think it may well be a fairly common attribute of
that release. makes things sound dirty and... claustrophobic?... i dunno.
i love that sound, although i do think it can be overused. as far as calix'
use of it in that track on the warp site... i think i'd have to hear it on
cd or vinyl to be able to tell if it's (as was suggested before) some kind
of accidental thing involved in getting it ready for the web, instead of a
deliberate stylistic gesture... but i guess i'd be tempted to throw her the
benefit of the doubt, and say that's it's most likely not just accidental
'bad' production. i think she knows what she's doing, even if it doesn't
perhaps appeal to me at all times.
at any rate,
there's my two cents.
-b.
p.s.-anyone listened to that jetone "autumnmonia" release? there's a fellow
who seems to have developed a uniquely (to my ear at any rate) 'compressed'
sound to his percussion. sounds airless. in a good way. the ultramarin
release on force seems to feature some of that similar sound... but not
quite as prevalently... perhaps more 'tastefully'... and a live show i
picked up sounds really neat and compressed too actually.. christ, what an
unwieldy post script...
