elseq 1-5

thanks modey

Lmao!!!

After the 15th time playing this through, I've decided that it's a metallic time travel novel. Sometimes time slows way down (eastre) and sometimes time seems to jump and sputter and quicken. It's a long beautiful dance with time.

"feed1" has really opened up for me. I can finally orientate myself in the track and feel the subtle, yet significant progressions. Really cool track. Probably my 3rd favourite atm. The whole elseq1 is worthwhile to me.

On the other hand, "foldfree casual" is still awfully boring and "random" to my ears. It leads nowhere. The beat in the end is so underwhelming. It does not help that I am no really a big fan of the sound design in the track. Too cold and too much reverb in such context for my ears. Can change in the future of course.

I thought foldfree casual was one of the trippiest things they've done in years.. that morphing scraping granular sound reminds me of lsd auditory hallucinations

Same

Thaenks.

there were some tracks that i jelled with right away but can say that after listening all the way through a few times and several times to big chunks of it that it all really jells after a while.

the personality of it as a whole comes through a bit more now. it's really great to listen to if you have some house chores to do or something like painting a room. yesterday i pressure washed the house/walkway/patio and it took quite a while so i was nicely transported out of the menial tedious task of it into a digital autechre weirdness headspace for most of that time.

Does the word "elseq" mean anything in any language or is it gibberish?

Think earlier in the thread someone suggested its could stand for Edited Live SEQuences, which seems plausible.

Either a discontinued equaliser module, the E15 EQ, by BAE.

Or a pun on programming conditional statements i.e.

if( /* this thing happens */ ){
// do something
}else{
eq( /* this much */ );
}

Or el/L being the twelfth letter of the alphabet, ie this being the 12th release, and there are a sequence of albums for it. (That was probably already mentioned and I'm just too lazy to check)

i have etymotic er4 in ear ear buds so they block out about 28 db of outside noise. like wearing good ear plugs with headphones in them. i love them great on planes or anywhere. makes the music feel like it's inside my head.

also, my pressure washer is a dinky little thing so isn't an air compressor type thing.

I was thinking about getting inears too but I am paranoid about what would happen if I forgot to decrease the volume on my portable player after listening on different headphones (I switch them often) and then blasting the inears super loud in the ear canal, or if a youtube audio glitch suddenly happened...

I would love for headphones to have integrated limiter by default (similar to BBC standards for their employees).

no big deal. they aren't that loud. these aren't in ear monitors for stage like singers use. they're just good headphones inside an ear plug. i've used them for more than 10 years. they just came out w/a slightly improved version.. info here

https://www.headphone.com/products/etymotic-er-4sr-studio-reference-earphone

you can find them cheaper some times on amazon etc but headphone.com has good reviews and is good for research. they trash headphones in reviews and will stop carrying them if they really don't like them.. but leave the review up. points for honesty.

Everything can be too loud in a pretty much sealed ear canal. I would love the noise insulation though.

yeah. these aren't 'sealed' really. just attenuate outside noise. i use these headphones for everything so the volume on my ipod lives in pretty much the same place all the time. it's easy to remember to check the volume before pressing play which is what i do before i press play on anything ever regardless of what it's plugged into ;)

A very good habit indeed. I try my best to do this ritual too (I also always try to turn the volume really down when I am finished listening so that it does not surprise me or anybody else borrowing the player) but sometimes I forget.

I've never had the problem of my headphones being too loud when changing between my AIAIAI headphones and audio technica canalphones; I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps my phone can somehow detect the impedance of what's plugged in and saves settings for each..? since when I plug into external speakers I always set the volume on max, but then when I plug my headphones back in it goes back to what I had it on before.. unless it always resets to a default volume if it goes above a certain threshold.

I think I'm gonna have to invest in a pair of etymotic canalphones. My audio technicas are nice but I'm spoiled by the AIAIAIs sound.
