    Yo, Hermeneutics » default AfroFuturism thread

    EDIT: Started this as a request thread but thinking we can do a little more with it -- Just a request. I'm hoping maybe someone can help me find something. I'm reading a lot right now about black science fiction and afro-futurism. I've pulled together a lot of the foundational stuff over the...

    Children of Men

    Link. The premise is this... Set in London with a dubstep-heavy soundtrack, no less. After getting myself worked up about seeing this, I've just noticed that the North American release date isn't for another three months :slanted: Any of you UK folk planning on seeing it this weekend (or...

    web hosts you can unreservedly recommend

    I thought we had a thread about this but I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone recommend a good, reliable web host to me? I've been having a terrible time since I switched to Dreamhost in May. It's a 2 year contract and the refund period has just ended, but I'm thinking I may switch because the...

    J Mixer 'Sweet Love'

    Link: J Mixer 'Sweet Love' (cut from this septik mix at RWD) I posted a query about this in the grime thread but it got air. Anyway, I think it merits its own thread. Who's heard this one? I think it's fairly new - caught it on Rinse twice this week on Tootsi and Glamma's shows. I don't...

    Spike Lee's Katrina Doc

    Eno's "scenius"

    Maybe someone can help me with this. I've searched a few times for the origin of the Eno neologism "scenius" without luck. blissblogger and others have helped to popularise it. In A Year with Swollen Appendices: Brian Eno's Diary, Eno says... But that's all I can find about it (though I...

    Athena CL - text-based music composition

    Has anyone come across this software, or maybe used it? It was sent my way through a project that I'm working on and from what I gather, it's a largely text-based tool for building musical compositions for websites and maybe other applications. I'm not sure what to make of this yet so I was...

    (Not) taking care of your records

    I don't really take care of mine very well, beyond putting them back in their sleeves when I'm done and trying not lay greasy fingers on them when I eat and mix at the same time. Sometimes I leave them on the decks getting dusty for days at a time and when I play them the needle looks like a...

    "dread" bass

    Just a quick question on the origins of this term. It does pre-date the Dead Dred track by the same name doesn't it? I swear I'd come across it in writings on dub well before then but of course I can't find any evidence of that now. :confused: If anyone knows...

    Fainting goats

    VIDEO @ http://www.qarxis.com/Fainting_Goats Myotonic goats are also called Wooden Leg goats, "stiff leg" or Tennessee fainting goats. These are one of the few goats that are indigenous to the U.S. There are two strains of this animal. Most of those found in Tennessee and the eastern U.S. are...

    Where is Kodwo?

    I've looked all over the net in vain, finding only Ccru, Nettime and assorted bits. Nothing recent. I'd expect he'd have a lot to say about dubstep and grime, and I'd like to see how he reconfigures his break-based concepts in the hacked-2step context. Anyone?

    Listening list for an electronic music class

    Dissensus crew - I need to harness your music list-making powers for a moment. The problem is this: I'm a TA this term for a course on Western popular music since 1945 and I've been asked to present the final lecture on electronic music. 3 hours to distill 25 years worth of accelerated music...

    3D spectral analysis software

    Does anyone know of a decent three dimensional spectral analysis program (preferably Mac)? I've found loads of plugins and standalone proggies that do the 2D version. But I'm looking for one that outputs a 3D image of frequency changes over time. Sort of like this one, but without that...

    Hotflush Interview + North Am. grime/dubstep profiles

    Right. I'm not sure what the collective thoughts on announcement posts are right now. Maybe we need an Announcements forum. In any case, I've been working hard over at Riddim.ca to put these things together. I think they're interesting. Maybe you will too. Hotflush Recordings interview...
