he does this periodically to try and assert his independence. it is important to ruthlessly suppress all these episodesThis is his misguided attempt at being iconoclastic
jungle is brand new.
the thing about ancient-sounding electronic music is that it's the most sonically rich, alive, full of mystery. just listen to 2:33 to 3:50 in that set for evidence. fog of war is the teacher.Amazing how ANCIENT this stuff sounds now.
The sound quality is so bad on this set that I'm assuming the main appeal for you here is the MCing/vibes.
This stuff would still sound absolutely fantastic on a big rig. Preferably standing next to it with the wall vibrating against my back.
they're weird because they're famously pristine/clinical but also really aware of the magic of old imperfect recordings. they love a lot of the old guys like Ussachevsky and Dockstader. so particularly in NTS Sessions you get these weird tracks that somehow sound granulated and 1000 years old at the same time.Yeah, electronic music is mostly very granulated these days. There are people who do it astoundingly well, Autechre for instance, but the whole sound design craze needs to fade out, I think. Not that granular synthesis isn't amazing, cos it is, but most people don't use it to its full potential.
i doubt you'll thank me for this reply but granular synthesis employs very short bursts of sound much less than a second long. these can then be rearranged, pitched up or down, etc. that voice timestretching you know and love from many jungle tunes, is an example of a granular effect.what does granular mean in this instance?
