Making techno in 2020: maintain the punk attitude and use whatever you can get your hands on. The digital/analogue/hardware/software debate is secondary to expression. Great chat - keep spreading the word and subverting to nerd!

@blakecasimir 3 года назад

That's all well and good. But how to release? How to promote? How to get known? There's more of us doing this than ever. THAT is making it more difficult.

@PerseusTraxx 3 года назад

@@blakecasimir I thought I replied to this but then it vanished so I'll start again... Distribution and getting heard can be hard. You may use a distributer but you have to get the right one. Self releasing on your own terms is costly, but the friends/contact/lessons you make and learn along the way are all part of the process. It gets your music out to a wider range of people and means that people who like what you do are more likely to approach you to release your work. I rarely release digital and have released on vinyl over the last 10 years or so, sometimes on my own labels, sometimes on others, so can only really speak from my experience here, but I always found that having the faith to put your money where your mouth is, and a pox on the naysayers, can be the most satisfying route. If it doesn't work out - fuck it - do it again, and keep it on your terms. As with making music, it's an evolution and part of creating art for the sake of art.

I like that every time I saw or heard Surgeon speak, he is so down to earth about his skills and talent. Also the ad-hoc approach is something that's close to my MO.

Always keep a reverb on stand by, when things go haywire, let it pay for a while, drown it in reverb, mute the kick, fix the patch, bring kick back :))))

Having had the honor of being an acquaintance of and also privileged to play with Charles Cohen live on 2 different occasions in the early ‘00s, he was a very quiet yet encouraging guy that was all about pushing sounds into the light! He had a interesting energy around him and he knew his way around that music easel! Mad skills!

@ElemuntDesign Год назад

im already on the first question and the question/answers given are extraordinary, i think what he is saying is very much a testament to creative endeavours being akin to working, and honing your craft rather than the idea of creativity being some kind of innate talent flowing out ones brain. this same flow state hes talking about where your brain is simultaneously thinking of what comes next and whats happening now, is also akin to just general life, that kind of state of being where dwelling on ones misfortunes or mistakes too much can send you into a negative spiral, the forward momentum is equally as critical to producing something more beneficial and healing.

Love how Surgeon uses a minimal but powerful modular setup similar to what Julia Bondar does. I am focused on that for future live rig as it lets me master core modules deeply and have more fun. Plus carry a monster case to events is not fun.

@@mylarmelodies This music is very personal and deep. Coil was a labor of love from lovers John Balance and Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson.. Coil was not proper with any label. The project was funded by the wealth of Sleazy who was a partner in Hipgnosis (70’s album covers) and making videos for MTV in the 80’s, Both are now dead Their last album Ape Of Naples is the deepest and most diverse.

This is not really a real RU-vid Video, you just put a recorded podcast to RU-vid it seems to me, put almost 10minutes commercial BLA, as complete first ten minutes are just like commercial. furthermore, as even the so popular name Surgeon, you are directly cutting in afterwards, so you are making his name kind of part of it in that sense.. sry I am honest, to me it seems a questionable format

@mylarmelodies 2 года назад

My dear Tim, this is a podcast and I don’t know a better way to explain it but this is literally what podcasts are. You can also find it on every podcast platform as audio only. Podcasts have adverts in them because otherwise you are producing content which can take multiple days to create at entirely your own cost. I do not even begin to make a profit in terms of the value of my time invested but I do it because I (largely - the interview bit and when it’s out there) enjoy the process. My podcasts exist on RU-vid as a courtesy and because I used to do them in person and film them, in fact I am able sometimes include webcam footage, for example the one last posted with James Blake. I guess you’re new here but if you stick around, you will see.
