Hi

I'm Sicone,

You may remember me from such great ideas as:

Let's remake SAW 85-92

or

Let's insert our cocks into blenders

Seriously guys - whats the worst that could happen: someone somewhere makes a song you don't like.

No you don't understand. There could be world domination, mass destruction, some kind of pandemic.

saw 85-92 is not broke, no need to fix it

I think its an interesting idea, certainly not worthy of this hostility, its not like by doing this you wouldnt still be able to listen to the original. no one freaked out when wisp reworked SAWII a bit... I mean Id prefer the original, but it'd be interesting to hear, just as long as it wasnt done as badly as the many flim interpretations...

There's a difference between remixing and remaking. A good remix album could be tasteful.

it might serve you better to angle this idea as a tribute cover album, and acknowledge that the end result will be far inferior to the original (but not necessarily uninteresting)

Goddamn guys - it's his first day on the forums and you lot are already tearing into him as if he was some Moby fan or something - his idea has merit, and honestly it's better than a lot of other musings about music I've read here lately...

Oh, and this really belongs in the Aphex Twin forum, so i'm gonna move it there - not his fault though, as he's new.

Even aphex liked wisp's remixes dude!

this thread is great, in a bad way

An interesting suggestion, but look at the posts above. Do you really think these people would be capable of that level of collaboration?

Look at the bright side Sicone, you have "Worst First Post" and "Worst N00b" for the 06 WATMM awards pretty much in the bag.

Also, you have set a new benchmark for horrible fanctfactiony things to do to electronic music.

I honestly don't think I could top it. But I'll try...

Here's my awesome new suggestion! U B TOM!!!

 

That's right, in the great tradition of the Shadows Fan Club's U B Hank Series, I propose that we re-record all Squarepusher's great hits WITHOUT THE BASS.

 

Now we can all jam along with Tom in our own homes!!!

 

How could this great idea possibly fail!?!?!?!?!?

We all love the instrumental music of APHEX TWINS, but we all know that it's not a proper song without words!

 

Let's write LYRICS to all the great APHEX TWINS songs and record ourselves SINGING ON THEM!

 

Now those great songs will finally be COMPLETE!!!!!

this idea reminds me of a review I read of madlib's shades of blue album, where madlib remade a bunch of old blue note classics. the disgruntled reviewer was comparing some of the tracks as like "pissing on a picasso." bottom line: what's already a classic should be left alone and not fucked with by outsiders.

go head and do It. Ill listen.

Hay Guyz!!!

We all love thar analord music of APHEX TWINS, that's why we decidad to maek more of it!!!1

Let's call it soemthin like EAP for instance, lo l o l.

It's a tribuet to all the great APHEX TWINS anaøords songs EVAR made!

Now thar seres will finally be COMPLETE!!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOWEEEEEEEEE

i read in the wall street journal that if you remix SAW tracks your hard drives spins backwards.

Hi All,

 

This may sound like heresy but has anyone thought about "remaking" SAW 85-92.

 

I think it's some of the yummiest music ever composed but as for the sound quality - yuk

 

and we all know why:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selected_Ambient_Works_85-92

 

I've heard it said that the tape hiss and other artifacts are desirable on this album but I disagree.

 

Certainly some of the "lo-fi" (no offence intended) sounds are very desirable but the tape hiss??? come on.

 

I've done some experiments with noise reduction and frankly it's not the way ahead as it artifacts too much and does nothing to bring back the missing top end. I've come to the conclusion that the only way to do this is to remake the entire album as faithfully as possible. Obviously, what the "correct" mix should sound like is open to interpretation as nobody has heard what the top end ever sounded like originally (except the man himself) but....

 

Have you ever made a bassline or warm pad or blippy bleep in your home studio and thought "hey that sounds just like "Agiespolis" only cleaner".

 

Maybe the "final" version of any track would end up being a collaboration - my bassline, your bleeps and Kate from Norway's beats. Maybe there will be no final version just an open source project without an end.

 

Maybe the twin himself could judge entries.

 

Maybe someone has suggested this before and I'm 10 years late to the party.

 

Whatever - thoughts on a postcard please.

who the fuck do you think you are?? George Lucas??

lol

i love you ivo

HEY GUYS. LOL.

I HAD AN AWESOME IDEA. LET'S REMAKE ALL OF DRUQKAS WITH ACOUSTIC GUITARS, LET ME KNOW WITH YOUR FEEDBACKS.

Yo Josso - nice fractals
