And for all you math posers out there, the function for falling objects
(i.e. gravity) is an exponential function, therefore if you apply an
exponential curve over the triggering of a sample, you can have all the
wonder of math and science that our god RDJ brought us by commercially
releasing a recording of the sound of a ball bouncing.
As a side note. I know Aphex gets wayyyy too much play on this list, still,
so many years after he has publicly declared he's going to stop putting out
records. Well, obviously he still makes music. Rumor has it that he's on the
SuperCollider list. Well, last week this persona (who most have agreed *is*
RDJ) said some really fucked up things about raping women. After he got
called on it he was totally unapologetic, and even more of an asshole. Then
to make things even stranger, he starting actually talking about SC, quite
intelligently. So here we have an asshole that talks the talk that's on an
esoteric computer music mailing list. I think all of you fan boys should get
up and send a message to eric_hard_jams@btinternet.com
Oh, yeah, and don't buy any more Aphex records, he's an offensive prick.
