Autechre 'The Wild Bull' by Morton Subotnick

you like the aks? I want one. An ems vocoder 3000 too, 5000 would be my first choice of course.

How much did the serge cost? Sorry for asking again. I wish they would build a some vactrol based oscillators and low pass gates for the serge. Maybe someone can clone some. Its kind of annoying how exclusive the buchla world is. How stupidly expensive the old stuff is and the favoritism people show to each other. I have a feeling if the arc of the covenant made music somehow the audities foundation would have it. We'd never hear the thing though. It would just sit there.

how can you not love the ems synthi aks :grin:

i bought the serge about 4 years ago and cant remember the exact price but it was about $15k...i am missing it already

if i get a serge again i will get an animal just keep it simple, but then i will want the wilson analog delay too, so maybe 2 panels.

actually thinking about it an animal and a tkb could be like a little music easel.

yes if serge had vactrol lpgs etc :-)

yes i cnt even begin to break into the 200 series world, i would dearly love a 259 but cant pay $5000 for it.

fascinating, ever heard the marshal time modulator? If so, How does it compare to the wilson delay to you?

just had to say ->man this stuff is good.

let me just bump this thread to say that i'm borrowing a friend's aks (that he himself has on 'permanent loan' from someone, whatever that means), and it's freakin' amazing. i really want one now, after only playing with it for about 5 mins! (i'm scared to touch it in case i fuck it up, i basically only have it here because he only ever records with it when he's over at my place)

oh and i listened to the wild bull again today, brilliant stuff. i must check out subotnick's other work!

first of all has anyone heard this LP?

 

I thought i had but after re listening to most of his catalog i realized i either skipped over this one or just didn't pay much attention when i originally had it.

 

If you haven't listened to it since picking up Autechre's Confield ( like i hadn't) i highly recommend doing so.

This is probably the most potent influence Autechre has picked up in their electronic music sound in the last 10 years i.

Not only do some of the rhythms sound autechrey but the way he manipulates the Buchla is very Fm synthesis esque.

It sounds very much like a proto confield/ep7/draft in a lot of ways.

Now don't think im saying 'guys autechre ripped this off' , i actually think it's pretty fascinating they decided to expand and improve upon this obscure style of electronic music. It would be very hard for someone to convince me that Autechre didn't at one time fall in love with this album.

listening to it atm. wow.

I don't really get this album. Its sort of meh in my opinion.... what exactly about it do you guys enjoy?

the textures! pretty much the same reason why i enjoy autechre's more avantgarde stuff, and noise/abstract ambient music in general.

hmm... I'll give it another try some day soon then. Ae fans approve, then I approve

the sounds, not the "songs". i find it interesting, that there is music from the late 60ies that sounds like they were produced this year.
