This video makes me want to try making music again

[shamann]

ur jeluz :p

uv wot :?

Just to pouint something out quickly here:

The man isn't just triggering pre-programmed sequences, although its very close to that!! As far as i can tell after a few viewings, the loops are just, well, looping and he's triggering glittches and stutters over which he has some level of control using his reaktor ensemble. I think its f**king clever personally.

I'm happy to admit that i find some glitch music utterly dull and pretentious after the genre's been around a few years, but i was just impressed with the sheer ingenuity of creating and mastering your own reaktor tool thats capable of some very fun and intertesting tricks.

Thanks for someof those other links people posted, i'll check them out.

And whoever suggested Live to me - thanks a lot, i did actually own it some time ago but had to sell pretty much due to poverty!! Still, it was a very fun tool and something i'd consider again at some point if my curent love of DJing/live arsing about sticks...no pisstaking from vurt etc please!

Lol @ all the jealous people. It is true. You are all so much better yet he makes it Poor wee lambykins

That Kid Beyond video was very impressive too. Makes live look very good.

Personally, I'm quite impressed that everyone I've known who's seen him live has described it as about the most insane and exciting experience in recent memory. Clever or not clever, original or not original, that sounds pretty good to me...

[CypherOne]

good one indeed...

[Kriminal]

what an interesting bloke.......






NOT!!!

One word, two syllables, rhymes with skaters...

Nice video, clever stuff gwannin on dark

As some of you who know me here may remember, i basically decidied to jack in making music some time ago when i realised it wasn't my calling. I have since focused on DJing and i love it.

This kind of live improv stuff appeals to me a lot, it just looks like pure unadulterated fun instead of sitting in front of a sequencer and "producing" a track. If i can do this kind of thing with reaktor then i might start saving!!

Anyway this guy is brilliant, have a watch.

or perhaps more evidence that making music is not your calling

I thought this Exile guy was doing Jungle. I can never keep the absurd variety of Techno genres straight. Shrug

DnB refers to the faster, more intense stuff and is typically darker. Jungle covers the reggae-related avant-garde stuff.

I always thought that it was all called jungle when it evolved out of ardcore, but then got renamed drum and bass a bit later. So they're essentially interchangeable, but dnb often refers to stuff that's more 'modern' sounding, whereas jungle refers to stuff more in keeping with the 1993 sound.

When I think jungle, I think of chopped up amen breaks, sine wave sub bass and ragga vocalists, or more generally of oldskool revivalists, when I think drum and bass, I think of cleaner, more complex, two step based stuff. Often slower, less intense or more avant-garde. In some sense.

God I love genre arguments

I don't remember asking your permission, but thanks for the hugely helpful comment anyway

And also well done for totally missing the point of this thread. Have a cigar

[LIMITAPROACHINGINFINITY]

Is this guy actually making real dnb music or just punching random keys that happen to trigger events that are beat synced? sorry for my lack of knowledge on the matter.

I SAW HIM ADJUST THE 'RED FADER' THAT "doesnt actually do anything at all"



very fun looking, but its all guesse and check im afraid.

[LIMITAPROACHINGINFINITY]

I think that that guys real talent is in ensemble (reaktor) creation.

You're right, but people who got into the scene later thought they'd re-invent the genres. Now that most of the old school has left, the new definitions have pretty much stuck.
