hi
any fans of this?
i haven't heard it 'till today; listening to Momentum.
I don't know exactly what i would call this music style, but that doesn't matter at all; what i do know is that i find it very very pleasing. Curious that i haven't heard it before.
blah blah blah....
i don't know if this was worth a new thread, come to think of it. I must be lonely.

very cool music. and also the guy behind Ableton Live.

you should check out some "related" artists (although more dubby and less ambient) on Rythm & Sound, Basic Channel etc. I think you'd like the "Maurizio - Maurizio" album and "Tikiman - Showcase" for sure.

Eh, no. Though he works for them.

Their music is very cool. Does Rob work only alone as Monolake these days?

Best wishes, FRitz

I thought Robert Henke and Gerhard Bekles were the developers of Ableton Live?

He posts quite a bit at the Ableton boards, in case you want a word with him.

Gerhard Behles and Bernd Roggendorf are the 2 (very cool) guys who formed Ableton while Robert Henke (also very cool) does some cunsulting work for them and programmed some additional stuff. That's what these guys told me personally. Bernd Roggendorf was part of the core NI team where I worked with him at NI some years ago.
AFAIK Ableton has additional programmers these days.

Yes, been a massive fan for ages. In top-10 producers at the moment in my books.

I'd recommend getting to know the 2 related and very influential record labels, Basic Channel and Chain Reaction. They both have very good compilations out ("Basic Channel" and "Chain Reaction...Compiled"). As for somewhat related artists, you might want to check out for instance porter ricks (everything from BioKinetics to Symbiotics), Vainqueur (Elevations), and definately definately Vladislav Delay (Multila would be a good place to start with, also check out his side projects like Uusitalo). Also you might like Plastikman's Consumed.

There are also netlabels putting out similar stuff, like Filtro (http://www.filtro.com.mx/) and Thinner/Autoplate (http://www.thinnerism.com/)... Don't have my bookmarks handy right now, so can't check out more.

Enjoy

Multila is insanely beautiful.
You might want to check Tim Hecker's stuff. Radio Amor is still my favourite.

Groet, Erik

monolake?
