"another mix,

In answer to the questions I keep getting asked.

ccai pt2 , part 1 is Drukqs, as that was the first thing I released that utilised computer controlled instruments, namely a modified Yamaha disklavier, 2nd gen and a couple of midi controlled solenoid based drum mechanisms I made just after I got the Disklavier.

I kept seeing them [disklaviers] in hotels, usually used to pipe muzak around the place and thought why doesn't anyone actually use one of these to compose music on and make beats etc!

A couple of times when i saw them in hotel lobbies, i sneaked up to the disklavier and set it to play ultra low pitch and very slow, funny watching peoples reactions, it was down every corridor etc

NOBODY i spoke to back in around 1999 inc. people at yamaha knew how to connect one of these to a computer and I had to take my computer into Yamaha to try it out to see how fast these things could go, no info on the net then either.

The first year I burned out countless solenoids in the thing and learnt how to repair them myself, the more recent gen ones like I used at the barbican have temperature cut outs on them thankfully, i’ve still fried a few though!"

Yeah, it's been commented on a few times already in this thread.

slothscrape is easily a top 10 sc trak for me

what is your personal fave no.1?

for me it the best of the last batch. i guess i just brushed over it yesterday and forgot about it. triple d would be my favorite but i've had a pretty decent quality mp3 of it as gibgib from some torrent i downloaded years ago on demonoid.

Does anyone have all of the batches? I cant remember if I downloaded proper ones of the third batch or even the second one...

Also, please send this to Rich: http://help.soundcloud.com/customer/portal/articles/243051-i-accidentally-deleted-my-account-can-you-get-it-back-

Tsim is my favorite of the last batch, but overall I'd say 179 brk 2 is my favorite. Just can't get enough of those breaks

ah sorry. always kept my eye on this thread but somehow i didnt notice :-)

Can't get Dolby C out of my head. So catchy.

willing to wager Slothscrape is Richard doing a VL1 with some synths on top , beautiful track

It may just be a conundrum behind smoke n mirror's, having a laugh as he's hunting haggis in the hills, the tracks are there, 207 and counting, haggis, elusive as always and a devil to catch a live one called Richard!

Here is my tally on the last 15 uploads, prior to the disappearance (the names are a bit wonky)…

-5Mp2

GOD DAMN IT RICHARD I PAID FOR 12 MONTHS OF PRO

I did wonder how you'd react to the account disappearing

Maybe Rich will airdrop you a couple of test pressings of MFM from a zeppelin some time soon.
