I never tried drugs (nor do I ever intend to), but that makes perfect sense. It's like falling asleep on a jazz gig, dreaming about very weird things and then getting woken up by a drummer's solo.
16 years ago this was the first song that thoroughly blew my mind to bits. Sent me to a different reality forever knowing that this song exists out there
i love how the transition between live and programmed drums is so seamles. plus there's lik a 50% chance we switched continents somewhere between these two live drum recordings
If this genre and style is new for you, I have to tell you.. You've got a beautiful journey ahead of you Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Autechre, Oneohtrix Point Never etc... Just golden
Patricia dear child, as soon as possible I would buy a white horse and ride to your place. I would be your prince. I would save you !! Hold on my dear !
ok, story time: so, there was a time in my life where i didn't think this was my fav idm song (at the time i thought it was analogue bubblebath by aphex twin). or my fav squarepusher song (at the time i thought it was do u know squarepusher). or even my fav song off ultravisitor (at the time i thought it was andrei). i already luvd this song, but 1 time i listened 2 ultravisitor in its entirety 4 the 1st time & it immediately became: - my fav song off ultrasvisitor - my fav squarepusher song - my fav idm song - my fav 2000s song &... - my 3rd fav song of all time. my 2nd fav song is sunday morning by velvet underground, 1st fav song is baba o'riley by the who. yeah just great job tom, great job.
I see you didn't read the release info at the time then 🙂 it said something like "although some tracks sound like they were performed live, things are not always what they seem"...and yes, I'm relatively old...
years ago when we first heard it a freind and I said it was superman flying over the world soaring higher and higher into the air and breaking sound barriers, but I like yours too ;)
this is the first song to thoroughly blow my mind to bits. Left me not knowing who I am anymore.. in the best way. Your description isn't even a metaphor for me. That's how it really is for me.... with a bass solo
Mexican taco master nah i know exactly what he means, with the progression, you can envisage like a perfect next chord or note or whatever, and when he goes there, its satisfying to have had the foresight ^^
I see your point, It´s like when during a speech you think about the possible words to come and then they happen. Well I kinda receive an stimulating response.
well aint that what communication is all about, but its the feel of it that matters the most, like did you guess he was going to soak everything in reverb or to cool down down everything after etc etc ? dont overthink it, just know it and thats it
@@CatfishD He's not a drummer (at least not to my knowledge), he probably recorded a drummer in a studio and then sampled the drum hits, made a sequence out of them
@@CatfishD I wasnt aware, and given that fact its probably the more likely scenario. The reason i thought it was someone else who played the drums was because he often collaborates with drummers during live shows but i guess thats just because he cant play everything at once lol
Just heard this for the first time and I was blow the fuck away!!! I've been familiar with squarepusher and enjoyed a lot of what I've heard, but only recently decided to dig in and dedicate some space in my mind to take it in. Fucking phenomenal. And this is live 🤯
It sounds more complicated than it actually is. (he he) nah this is fucking mad man. Who are we. where are we. Who is really making this stuff. Im honestly trying to focus.
This is just one guy, right? How the hell does he do this!? Is he actually playing that bass? To what extant are the drums programmed? I don't even know how to process this music.
he is playing the bass. The rest is pre-corded, though replayed live with added effects, pattern shifting of all sorts. It is now not so difficult to obtain a "real" drum sound, although programming the patterns the way he does is extremely difficult and time consuming. Hope that helps.
William Clark yes. Very savant. He's like an engineer, a ph D in music theory and a killer bass musician. Check his bio. There's Aphex Twin which is a bit like him, although even more technical but less of a musician.
this music makes you feel something. not bout shaking ass, or selling cars or showing off how many bitches you got. it grows and flows take you on a journey
This is probably in my top 3 best Sqaurepusher tracks of all time. I really wish he would revisit the Style of Go Plastic, and Big Loada. After Ultravisitor everything was just kinda ok... and mediocre. In my opinion... the only thing even close to this he's done recently is Z-Machines - Music for Robots... which is practically a direct callback to this style [although unfortunately the Z-Machines drum kit is is very flat... and not nearly as lush as this]. It's also unfortunate that Z-Machines is just a one-off experiment.
Please check outy improv channel. Not as good as this but if you're into this you may like... I play every instrument you hear, i.e. doublebass, bass, guitar, violin, harmonica, tin flute, chello... except for piano and drums, and those I compose digitally...
