Re: Techno links from a Black perspective (fixed)

2020-06-27 Thread Zachary Smith
Looks like part of the confusion is just the website's design, to me!

The "library" seems to be more of a general collection of techno
history (with some Black perspectives, some not), but "writings from a
[B]lack perspective" appears at the top of every page since it's the
site name? (The "blog" seems to be much more about Black perspectives
than just the list of techno-centric writing, IMO)

 Hi guys,

 i recently played a 5 hours set under my moniker of rktic - hence deep,
 dubby sounds. Finally got around to make some space on SoundCloud. There's
 lots of 313 content in there, the usual suspects along other things you may
 haven't heard yet.

 Tracklist doesn't exist yet, i was too drunk to save it ;)

 Cheers  merry x-mas!

Re: (313) re: Mills interview in the Wire

2009-02-17 Thread Zachary Smith
This is the kind of argument I hear from friends who don't like music
made with computers/programmable synths/drum machines at all, much
less replayed by computers.  For them, there's no feeling or
'mistakes' unless it's played on manually-operated instruments like
guitars, drums and Peruvian panflutes.I would ask these people
whether listening to prerecorded music on a CD sounds boring .. after
all, they went through lots of takes to find their ideal recording,
discarding the mistakes, right?

It's a fool's argument, distracting from the question of whether or
not a given DJ/producer is an artist or just a hack.  There can be
amazing depth of feeling, spontaneity and improvisation with a
laptop-enhanced set; there can be boring, lifeless, properly
beatmatched vinyl sets.

Also -- and in my opinion, most importantly --  taking tools like MP3s
out of your toolbox (or brushes off your palette, choose whichever
metaphor you like more) just means you have less options, specifically
less access to the unreleased/netlabel sort of stuff we are lucky to
hear on Andrew Duke's show.

 Funny to read that one of the dj's being on the forefront of technology
 speaks about the fact that all these technological developments
 (traktor, ableton and so on) will lead to the fact that dj's might not
 be needed in clubs anymore in the future because all music sounds the
 same, mixed without any mistakes, no feeling anymore and so why not play
 some pre-programmed music?
