i met richard devine tonight

he was backstage at the sts9 show in alpharetta; he's really nice and didn't seem to mind that i gushed about him and was all "i have cautella and asect:dsect!"

his enduser remix is heavy

STS9 played here?

He's the only IDM celebrity who's ever answered my Facebook messages.

Holy shit!

I was just talking about Richard Devine's mad sound design skills at a house warming party earlier tonight, and his awesome manipulation of subway samples... and about how if Rick Rubin produced him he'd probably just set up a couple mics in a subway station to capture Devine at his rawest. Yep.

I don't know how I'd react to meeting someone like that whose art I hold in such high regard. I'd likely either make an ass of myself, or just stare stupefied and not say anything. Or maybe I'd just ask to shake their hand, probably the best course of action.

I've actuality gotten advice from Wisp on myspace back when i had one.

'asect:dsect' is some record, got it on vinyl. I sure would like to know why the fuck one of the tracks is titled 'Dansk Rap', which means Danish rap.

not too long ago he was in denmark and i met him at the danish institute for electro-acoustic music (a part of the conservatory dealing with electronic music). didn't talk to him, but he was sitting in a studio with a danish electronic guy called puzzleweasel making a tune. so, well, he's been in denmark.

... just had a heavy deja-vu writing this. weird.

Puzzleweasel is fucking fantastic!

Very few records really creep me out, but 'asect:dsect' really did trigger something.

asect:dsect's great, but Cautella fills me with a sense of awe every time. I don't know how he's going to top that one, and maybe that's why he hasn't released anything in 5 years. Where do you go from there?

he's working on commercial sound design now, television and film and so on

i also met the owner of the georgia theatre in athens and tried to talk him into booking squarepusher; one step in the right direction for a u.s. tour

i underrated devine the first times i heard his music. good dude.

I saw him play at a club in manhattan back when he was still pretty new on the scene. he had a nord modular. I remember doing a lot of nord modular/modular synth research after that show, and thinking that my tracks were even more crap then i had previously thought. was an awesome show.

he put's on a fantastic live set, i've seen him 3 times one of those was in 16 channel surround sound

tht tne, you should have asked sts9 why they're so lame about charging for recordings for all their live shows.... ahhh the good ol days....

they only charge for soundboards; taping is still allowed and audience recordings are available on archive.org (afaik)

hmmm, the 2nd to last time i saw them (in chicago) I saw some guy with a recorder getting accosted by the staff for having it. Anyhow, did you do drugs?

I talked to him on the phone in 1996. I think he said how he was into the newest (at the time) Locust album. I told him (or put the phone to the speaker while the track played can't remember) about Baby Ford's track on Pure Plastic 003 and he said oh you're into the classic stuff.

I wanna hear him make an acid album. Jiff Acid on the Sublight comp a few years back was so fresh!

I know, I just like to believe he's saving up to blow his load on something even more advanced than Cautella in the not-so-distant future. I won a Samples CD he did a while back... Arrhythmia i think it was called. I don't think I would ever use it for anything, but it's still kind of cool to have.
