  • About that VGA Host guy that you pinged me in the shoutbox for
    I thought it was really interesting. I really like IDM paired with Glitch just for how alien it sounds. I like how I dont really know how it's made, but with this album I know that at least some of it was programed. I also like how all over the place it is.

    Kinda just happens that I really like the genre. I'm a big fan of Autechre so this certainly fits the bill.

    I'm glad it was an enjoyable listen
    I think a fair amount of it was programmed in a tracker program that doesn't use samples, MDtracker is the only one I know the name of, and rendered and exported like you say with the render edited in a DAW

    Yeah I did more digging and it turns out it's the only album done by the people who did it.
    Only released via digital file by an online label, was forgotten on hard drives until two years ago.

    Pretty fascinating stuff.
    And I will check out the whole tracker music thing, I heard that there's a big artist that simular to the b side of the album.

    Been listening to it for the past 5 days or so and It might just be my favourite IDM album. I did a review on spunikmusic if you wanna know my full feelings on it.

    Furry Lawnmower is the track that's always stuck in my head now

    I downloaded 1tracker and I like it. I might do a tracker music album with something else along alongside it, maybe clean bass. Live preformence is important to me so I want to tie it to that somehow. Made my first real track but I'm figuring out the process of turning .scl files into audio files. It's done somehow, im sure.

    i'm bored. so, i will exaplain some more n tell a brief story for anyone who wants to read it.
    it's an acoustics thing between string and body size of the instrument and ties back to that "fullness" of sound i previously mentioned.
    the viola has larger strings and thus produces a slightly deeper and richer tone than the violin.
    i started off playing viola, my father (when i did meet him) bought it for me when i was in 5th grade at a pawn shop as my mother was too poor to buy an instrument.
    i had originally wanted to play violin, and when i realized at the end of 6th grade that if i just bought an e string and shifted the other strings over it would have the same string layout as a violin, i did so.

    later, when my mom bought me a proper violin, and my father had left my life entirely, i tried to sell the viola he had bought for me. it was a newspaper ad asking for a violin. i dialed the phone number and they said their son was just starting playing and they were looking for a 3/4 size genuine stradivarius. as i was a poor, it was a replica and not genuine and they wealth-splained to me they were not interested and hung up. as an ignorant kid wanting to make a sale, i lacked the fortitude at the time to explain to them that their child would in all probability grow into a full-size violin, and that buying a size he will not need in 2/3 years is fucking stupid.

    i say all that to reiterate there is a difference between poor n wealth in the music community and it is pervasive in a variety of ways. poverty being the mother of innovation i altered my own instrument as a 10 year old and would play music from violin class on my keyboard, going between d major and c and teaching myself cello in the music room after school. but bougie kids gets a leg up in quality by having rich parents who can afford whatever instrument and a music tutor right out the gate.
