Guest getting photons Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I thought it was common knowledge that all of the piano tracks on drukqs were the disklavier?!?

SQUIDLID Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Ok, here's what it says in the booklet from Warp Works 20th century Masters: "John Cage and Aphex Twin both altered the machinery of the piano: Cage by inserting rubbers, screws and bolts into the mechanism, transforming it into a gamelan of detuned sounds, Aphex more simply, by laying chains across the strings." Hope that helps... Oh yeah, some cunt didn't check the grammar and spelling in that booklet properly before it was printed, I hope they got a good hiding!

Guest cyphersum Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I bet RDJ is quite enamored by this piano's capability as well, wouldn't doubt he's played with one. This is quite an interesting conceptual evolution to a traditionally prepared piano (which is purely mechanical in modification). http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~sbacker/empp/what.html Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/13282-drukqs-prepared-piano/page/3/#findComment-288001 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dr. Elemeno von Hat X: PhD Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 overdubbing allows anyone to achieve the illusion of multiple arms. ...but it takes some talent to do it with the feel of all the arms at once.

Josso Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Yeah on most of the tracks there is some degree of editing, loops and slight alterations.
