sequencer circa Come to Daddy

I saw him play at the Essential Weekender in Finsbury Park in 1997.

 

He was wheeled onto stage in a wendy house and he did the whole gig from a laptop (couldn't tell you whether it was a mac or a pc though)

 

While his mates danced around on stage in those giant teddy bear costumes.

 

808 State, Squarepusher and Massive Attack were all at the same festy. Good times.

 

Anyway, I guess he was just using the laptop for playback so it didn't necessarily reflect what he was using to make music at the time

 

But ... the impression I get with Richard D James album and the Come to Daddy stuff that came after it was that it was mostly done on computers using software.

I think he was into laptops and computers and software at that stage didn't get back into analogue gear until a bit later.

A few years back I stumbled across some template code in Supercollider that pretty much demonstrated the bouncy part of Bucephalus. Plus he mentioned in interviews before, that he used code stuff.

pppppowermac

around 95-98 he was using a home made sequencer (co written with GOL who designed Fruity Loops)

he posted some code made with supercollider V1 way back when he was trolling the SC list. He can code.

atari falcon would just be a sequencer no? I imagine very limited sampler ability. How would anyone know anyway

the Atari Falcon030 was capable of 16 tracks of audio recording to hard disk. the Falcon030 was actually a very very capable machine. i had one. i miss it.

yeah, that was it

I wonder what's become of the Wendy house...

i heard it went for 15 grand on ebay. its key for that plasticy bass sound

Code Rich posted in SC forum.. Found here

umm.. no how about this its the only NON sound patch i've got,apart from a

tron game patch I posted here a long time ago,

looks pretty,

oh its SC 1 aswell of course.

let me know what ye think.

jts a 3d harmonograph

if rdj wrote it he would know that sc1 has the gui stuff stored separately

that why everyone else on that list at that time sends patches as bin uuencoded

i was thinking recycle wired to an mpc.. but yeah that works, too.

youd have to have SC1. ancient software

mesh gear do u have a ( newish ) mac

I came here looking for this picture, because the trap house up the street from me has the exact same Wendy House.
