plaid Plaid Live + Broadcasts + Interviews

oh right! i get ya now. :)

sorry, i'm a bit slow today! need more tea and tunes i think...

haha :)

Not really an interview, but some interesting quotes at spinner.ca

[For our work], we use software incorporating phonemes [ie: phonetic bits of words] while paying attention to things that happen in our own mouths and throat. There's a lot going on with the pitch and the breath. It's an interesting process to examine, it's actually incredibly complex.

Interesting M meets Plaid interview. I can't say that I'm surprised by any of what they have said, but unfortunately I am still stuck in the past with their sounds. Of course I've liked much of their material since they have crossed over into a dominant digital environment, but it's not quite the same. From recent memory both "Host" and "The Melody Remix" are on the opposite side of the spectrum. No doubt they are burnt out from using the same drum machines/synths all these years, but I think they can still give us a lot more to appreciate with them. Sometimes less is more. They are still able to easily give me goosebumps from their melodies (Strata 3), but it's that old material I've heard hundreds of times that is still able to consistently do it.

I'm stilling waiting for Scintilli in the post, so no expressions yet, but did they use their 808 or 606 on the album? Ed and Andy's drum-programming is severely underrated in the community IMO.

i totally agree. there are more than 10 Plaid tracks that i just listen for the drums on them!!!

su truely said mate, so true! ;)

This is a proper unknown, yes? Although, the 303 line that comes in around 1:50 reminds me of something... but what?

Bad tune.. thanks moonside!

All good mate, liking very much the track that starts @ 3:20... what a fooking rough tune! That bassline is heavy and those new vocals Plaid have been woring with fit perfect in the track.. best use of them some far for me... sounds so otherworldly.

I need to upload some of my vids from last nights Soundcontrol gig but need to get rid of this hangover first! Can't believe how much new material they played last night, well impressed though!

was a most excellent gig! unfortunately the limiter on my recorder was doing silly things with the amount of bass (same thing curiously happened when I recorded them at Bang Face, methinx some sub sine waves are perhaps added to the bass) so there's clipping all over.

does anyone know who that lively keyboard chap was who supported?
