Question for cristian

[anarchosyn]

Hey Cristian,

Just out of curiosity, have you integrated csound synthesis into any released compositions aside from that beautiful closing track on All Music Has Come to and End (cd version, "Tearing the Groove," no?).. ?

It really wouldn't matter eitherway, but as I slowly ebb past the learning curve of this instrument, I've gained a new appreciation for that piece..

Really a bang on track..

nice question...

well , I only released a few examples of my csound bits... I was into it when Consume had an SGI Indigo kicking around our apartment for some reason , back in 96... (dont ask me how that happened, my memory is a bit hazy from those years)... I went crazy for it cos didn't have any mac wares at that time , and I knew from a visit to Birmingham Uni as a teenager that unix was being used for institutionalised computer music... Well , anyways , to be honest I was using Cecilia over Csound CLI coding, and using Cecilia and the Unix system sound editor, I made and edited Tearing the Groove and most of the edits on All Music... i remember Si Begg being pretty jealous at the time , and also ending up with some mad DC offset that raised some issues at the cut ... shortly after that , we were introduced to Hotline and suddenly the revolution began with editing and sound design on Mac, which became a major reason why Super_Collider sounded like it did... Csound and Cecilia was really a stepping stone for me into learning quickly about no holds barred digital music production....

plastered cracks = still one of my alltime faves, along with survive and tearing - especially love that album. if it was done with csound it goes way beyond what i heard from other people who worked with that so i'm truly surprised to hear that.

Hey mate, sorry it took me so long getting back with this, I missed it the first time through. ;)

The guy in the picture is just your laughably typical conservative reactionist (it sometimes seems like they are falling off trees in these parts). The story escapes me at the moment, but it's from a protest in the 80s, presumably over the inclusion of a casino in the surrounding area. A mate of mine sent me the snap, and I found it humorously ironic enough to tuck away on my HD for a spell. :)
