When you can change the tape speed at the flick of a dial, there's no real extra work in arranging new parts to complement the sped-up/slowed-down track. But in the digital domain, it would involve rendering, patience, actual math (!). Not nearly as much fun. Of course, you could be a little more stochastic about it and just count on whoever's working the CD decks to sort it out.Sebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15861556483662617818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1590276773297960446.post-16795572282253747552010-06-02T23:06:49.418+01:002010-06-02T23:06:49.418+01:00Wouldn't it be easy enough with CD decks &...Wouldn't it be easy enough with CD decks & mixer to make something like this work on digital?<br /><br />I imagine it being devised in such a way that it would 'work' out of phase, out of time -- ie, it wouldn't induce headaches and dizzy spells. So it would be patches of bare rhythm (drum programming), patches of pure drone/tone, patches of arpeggiated stuff. Having a lot going on per side would be like, i don't know, listening to Brainticket, or whatever Twin Infinitives sounded like before they mixed it down. <br /><br />Versions of the idea have already been produced, I'm going to post up a list of some that have been pointed out to me in the next day or two....Sam Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256521398930476465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1590276773297960446.post-87567582098255818552010-06-02T00:30:59.140+01:002010-06-02T00:30:59.140+01:00Zaireeka notwithstanding, the closest anyone's...<i>Zaireeka</i> notwithstanding, the closest anyone's come to this is Boris' <i>Dronevil</i> (both on CD and vinyl): one disc all ambient drones & atmospheric dread, the other thick & dirty stoner-rock riffing. Perfectly matched. But it still didn't account for the vagueries of RPM-mismatching, pitch-shifting, or such.<br /><br />The funny aspect about producing such a sonic experiment is that it'd be relatively easy in the analog domain, but a <i>sumbtich</i> of a headache digitally. It would involve so much number-crunching and time wasted rendering time-stretches & whatnot. Pain in the ass. But then how many of us can afford proper tape machines in our home studios?Sebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15861556483662617818noreply@blogger.com
