Re: Film Discussion / Now Watching

Several great nights at the cinema. Past couple months have been slow going for me when it comes to film watching. This year started off far too busy with the distro and related activities to do much else, but getting back in the groove now. Did you catch all of these in a theater? Just the spaghet...

Re: Music and Noise

Hey, I'm not even saying I disagree with you on anything. These are very abstract concepts we're dealing here, I don't see why several different approaches could not be equally valid at the same time. Exactly---there should probably be as many approaches/answers as possible, to better match the con...

Re: Music and Noise

But sound for sound's sake is not sound for art's sake, though? I think one of the difficulties of noise music is that we very rarely actually hear the noise itself. I guess, then, that the soundcheck is probably more truly focused on the sounds themselves than the set itself! Hmmm yes. But the poi...

Re: Music and Noise

I guess I mean that "art for art's sake" (i.e. sound for sound's sake as being inherently musical) is a definite historical perspective on artistic/musical production, but I imagine that there could be cases of producing a sound for its own sake that do not result in the creation of music...

Any sound produced for its own sake, rather than as a byproduct of some other activity, is music.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Are you in a project, I don’t book very often but that might change. But likewise, if you play out in Los Angeles, lemme know. *Aside* anyone who books in San Diego, I’d love to play. I’ve approached Stay Strange in the past but haven’t heard back from them recently.

Hi, I'm Ryan aka Insufficient Despair. I'm based in Torrance, California. I don't have any formal releases yet. Been enjoying the ride going to and playing shows, sometimes booking one here or there. You're not too far from me, all things considered. Post if you come do a show down here in San Diego!

I've been spending time with Current 93's The Light is Leaving Us All over the past week or so and I feel like I've finally unlocked it.

Re: Cut Up

Has anyone tried to do cutup with a sequencer? I've done some with sp303 and the Korg sq-1. Great results with sq-1 ramdom pattern midi -> sampler. The SQ-1 is what I have, and the random pattern seems to work very well for this sort of thing. Putting it into a sampler is a very good idea!
