    lost signal network (mix series)

    Hi all Has been about 1 million years since I spammed you interesting people with my dodgy mixing. I've got back into recording them and have a series that I'm quite pleased with, but always nice when things get heard, even once. I'm pleased with them because I didn't realise that my lifestyle...

    16- or 24-bit audio interface?

    the soundcard handles the conversion between the analogue domain and the digital domain, e.g. to go out to your speakers or to go in to your interface from gear/external sources. These conversions are done at a sampling frequency and bit depth determined by the resolution of the converters. The...

    House and techno 2014

    as far as the topic goes, there isn't that much that's getting me really excited... a few 12"s last year from Joey Anderson have got to me, but with large swathes of stuff not really doing it for me at all. UntilMyHeartStops put out some great 12"s and I would expect them to continue this. I'm...

    House and techno 2014

    i would say techno is more like krautrock... more experimental, more punishing, more cerebral. i learned that i didn't really know shit about house from Johnny Abstract of Manchester, who is not unknowledgable in these matters... the house music that he showed was much rougher and rawer, but...

    bloody miserable

    yeah it's grim... hard to talk about it as well, cos you end up inadvertently slagging off mates who are successful, or alienating people still hopeful of success. Just makes you feel totally alone, and the credit from people who know the score (like, Zeke Clough is really into my work, had Move...

    Buying a cassette Walkman, like... now!

    may be possible to take apart simply and remove dust with sharp gusts of air from your mouth, or canned air if you have that. if there are metal connectors contact cleaning fluid and cotton buds will help.

    bloody miserable

    I started on Citalopram 20mg a few days ago. Always been a sensitive individual and circumstances over the last few years have not been in my favour... coming face to face with the worst behaviour that humans are capable of. Tried to offset it thru flinging myself into creative work but the...

    Buying a cassette Walkman, like... now!

    worth googling.. there are a few tape forums with contributions from really knowledgeable people (e.g. tapeheads.net ). The thing that you really want to know is the parts availability for the future and whether the design is built with that in mind. Pinch rollers, belts and tape heads will...

    Krautrock Bit Me In The Ass

    I am serious that I found elements of their resistance inspiring. I don't plan to picking up a machine gun, but I think to have a group challenge the fundamental structure of a corrupt nation is an important thing, whatever mistakes were made. I mean for sure, I did the moral maths, and I...

    Krautrock Bit Me In The Ass

    I watched 'The Baader-Menihof Complex' on BBC Iplayer last weekend, it might still be on there. I remember the first generation members were mentioned by the singer from Amon Duul and decided to investigate. I've been utterly fascinated and inspired by their resistance, and shocked at the power...
