  Quote

Weidenbaum: In the time of Bach, people would write tunes based on their friends or loved one's names, each letter become a note. It's still done today, a kind of parlor game.

 

James: You'd have to have the right name. I don't know what the note K sounds like.

german notation actually has an H note, and so Bach stuck his name in that way. there's not really a K in music, but the -ch in Bach is somewhat close. a thought.

theres only 12 chromatic notes in the scale right?

i wonder ifs it possbile to detune say for instance note c between c#, you would have a whole nother range to work with.

is that possible? like C C^1 C^2 C# C#^1 C#^2 ???

that's what he meant by microtones, basically.

Yeah I was about to say, microtones could be introduced and named as other letters. You could double the 12-note system to 24 for example, and just in-between frequencies.

So, inbetween C and C# would be our mystery note at 527.202Hz

Think I calculated that wrong though.

really funny that he didnt want squarepusher to live in his bankvault

(in weidenbaum interview)

its like no not you

interesting reads.

bump.

Chris Cunningham!  We miss you dude! Come back to us! 

This interview from Muzik Magazine in 1996 when Mike & Rich came out has a lot of interesting stuff in it, primarily because they just got Mike and Rich very drunk on vodka and recorded them bickering. I had the magazine when it came out and then for a very long time I don't think this interview was on the internet anywhere until the lannerchronicle re-published it:

https://lannerchronicle.wordpress.com/2020/08/02/the-odd-couple-mike-rich-interview-1996/

They essentially slag each other off quite a lot, in a laddish way but also in a way that you can see some of what they really think creeping in. And you get a sense of their personalities at the time. Lets just say that if you had to choose which one of them to be stuck in a lift with for six hours you'd definitely choose Mike.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Rich: “What’s up with you, Mike? You didn’t used to talk this much. I suppose the fame must have affected your personality.”

Mike: “No, I was just always quiet with you because you try to play games with people’s heads. You’re like a bully. And what you do with bullies is ignore them so they go away.”

...

Rich: “I don’t want to work with any electronic musicians for a while. But I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on you. Did you know that Mike’s girlfriend has an Aphex Twin tattoo on her ankle?”

Mike: “It’s only little.”

Rich: “I was thinking about it the other day, wondering how you are going to explain it when you kid asks, ‘What’s that on mummy’s leg?’.”

...

Mike: “You don’t do any promotion for the label. It’s crap.”

Rich: “What do you expect? We are just a couple of boys from Cornwall. We don’t know how to run a label.”

Mike: “Is that why people don’t know ‘Bluff Limbo’ has been re-released? And why you’ve sat on my best stuff?”

Rich: “We are waiting for Virgin to put money into promoting your next µ-ziq album before we release the older stuff.”

Mike: “Crap.”

Also has a picture of the famous tank.

lets cancel aphex twin

I was thinking more along the lines of could I skip worship this week

Anyone have article from Bounce issue 476?

 Probably has been posted around before but it's a new one to me and pretty fun, popped up on my youtube feed. (audio of space age bachelor magazine interview)

Weird thing out of YouTube comments RE: the tank--somebody said: "Put two and two together folks. They don't let just anyone have access to tactical/weaponry stuff in Britain. RDJ has Royals somewhere in the line". I was curious if that had any traction. I always saw it as a working class hero tale of dad in the mines and mum at home but it feels "truthy" in a way.
