Ha! I accidentally did that for about five minutes of an Echospace tune (of 
all things) during the last set that I played. It's true that you won't 
often get a good feel for the bass levels out of monitors, but the 
monitoring on the stage at Fabric is usually pretty full and clear.

Wooo! sounds like I got the right end of this deal.  When I saw Convextion was 
over to play Fabric I was all set to make the journey
South.  Then a few weeks ago I found out the local promoter who'd put him on in 
Manchester last time had scored him to do a little
low key gig here on the Friday.

As good as his last gig here was this was even better.  Not as many people 
there but I thought just the right amount.  And while
everybody supporting him last time was good, I think this was the best night of 
music I've heard here in Manchester for some time.
But the biggest difference was the sound (sorry Robin ;-).  The promoters used 
a little out of the way venue which is part of a
local music tech educational establishment.  I don't know, but I'm guessing, 
this is the room they use to teach live sound
engineering.  And the set up was absolutely top.  Little dark room, cheap bar, 
nice little outside area for smoking and the sound
quality we almost never get in this city.

Unfortunately I missed the first DJ, Sequence's Steve Gravener but arrived in 
time for most of Conor Thomas, who was appearing under
some crazy made up moniker, and who set the tone for fine tunes.  By the time 
the next DJ, Eastern Bloc's Karl Roscoe, came on I was
I just the right mood for the impeccably crafted mix of Basic Channel and

M4.5 played for an appropriately long time.  All the guys supporting Gerard

2008-04-28 Thread Matthew Dickinson
Hello list

New person here. Been reading on and off for some time. My, you are a
lively bunch aren't you?

I don't know how much of an introduction is good form, but my name's
Matthew. I like techno. I DJ and stuff.

Anyway, just want to comment on the DeepChord/Echospace sound quality
thing. When they played here in Copenhagen last year the sound was
pretty muddy as well. And I think it was because they used Pioneer
DJM-600's to mix through. I hate that mixer. Sounds shite and crap
build quality as well.

>From what has been described they seem to have played pretty much the
same stuff. Sort of banging and not so much dub. I enjoyed the first
half. They dropped the Huckaby mix of Electromagnetic Dowsing which I
love. All in all pretty good but would have been nice with more dubby
tracks.

Best
Matthew

I think the BC-related tag fit a lot better with the early Deep chord 
releases than it does today. The new stuff has evolved in a different way.


Oh, and for whatever it's worht, I saw that set at DEMF ages ago as well, 
and this bore absolutely no resemblance. That was a very dubby set. I don't

A polarised affair at London's Fabric. Gerard was fantastic - mostly ERP 
style electro that sounded razorsharp on the soundsystem..some new bits 
and classics, although Vox Automaton was a bit short for some reason. Very 
happy to see him get a fantastic reaction as well.


Deepchord/Echospace was unmitigated sh*te. I'm sure Tristan will elucidate 
far more than I could, as he was fuming! The sound was muddy, so you 
couldn't hear the treble at all, but this was an hour of relentlessly dull 
dub techno with no variation or subtlety whatsoever, and a real shame 
because one of them (not mr Modell) was having the time of his life behind 
the laptop. A shame he couldn't obviously hear what sh*te we were hearing.




Yeah, I was severely disappointed. Going in, I was actually more excited 
about them than Convextion, who I'm always really excited about. I posted up 
some thoughts about his set yesterday (it was amazing), but my e-mail setups 
are totally hosed at present and it seems to have been lost in the ether 
somewhere. I'll try and re-send that when I get home. Anyway... I doubt the 
Echospace sound had anything to do with the sound guys at Fabric. They have 
tablet PCs with WiFi connections so they can stand anywhere on the 
dancefloor and make corrections. And beside that, Gerard's set sounded 
amazing, so it's nothing to do with the rig. I suppose it could have been a 
monitoring thing (Modell had headphones on for at least part of it) but 
there was a sound guy on the side of the stage, within ten feet of them who 
I even tried to talk to at one point who didn't seem to think there was 
anything he could do about it.


IMO what they are doing today has emerged as something distinctly different 
than the BC influences. In fact, I think it's reaching directly back in to 
the dub influences that inspired BC, and they're fleshing those ideas out in 
a way that is less purely "techno", or maybe less encumbered by a futurist 
impulse. They seem to be purely in to dub as a process or a technique, and 
the end result is better for it. I certainly think the "BC copyist" tag they 
are sometimes laboured with has been a poor fit in the last couple of years 
anyway.


What erked me to no end was that there was scarcely any dub in it, or at 
least whatever Rod Modell was doing was so overwhelmed by the pounding thud 
of the kick turned up to 12 that you couldn't hear it. And that kick was 
routinely "doubled up" on the eighth notes, to give you an idea of the way 
in which they changed their normal style. The dub was totally left behind, 
or somehow inaudible. When those guys are clearly booked on the strength of 
these successes I don't understand how they can turn up with a different 
sound, which would have been more at home beside Joris Voorn in the other 
room. I know American techno producers often carry the view that a European 
crowd is only interested in the chugeda chugeda Marco Carolla sounds of 
about seven years ago and I can only suspect it was that sort of 
misunderstanding of what will fly here that inspired this choice. I mean, it 
was just dreadfully dull in a way that sound problems alone couldn't really 
account for. And for whatever it's worth, I only recognized one or two bits 
of their tracks in the entire set, and they didn't get any kind of a 
treatment like you'd expect. I wouldn't even have called it 'dub techno' as 
you couldn't tell if there was any dub going on.


I hate to be so negative about this set, as I'm digging their releases today 
more than anyone's, but when people fail to live and die by their strengths 
it really pisses me off.

jeff





Imo, it's not so much BC mark II as much as 'BC, AD' [if you catch my
drift] with the emphasis more on 'dead' than 'domini'. The pair are so
obviously influenced by BC, you'd hope but they'd also learn about the
subtlety in almost subliminal changes of atmosphere which you get with
BC tracks and which keeps them sparkling for several minutes at a time.

weird.  i wonder if something was wrong with their monitors?

I've actually seen a couple reputable DJs to play an anemic hour of their 
set before realizing the lows were killed at the mixer.


maybe someone killed the highs and taped over the LED? :p

Really surprised at this because the sound guys at Fabric are very,  very 
good and the bass definition in that place is amazing and should  have 
suited them down to the ground, sounds like something went very  wrong.

I guess that was probably the case. The EQ'ing was all over the shop. Shame as 
it sounded so crisp for Convextion, if just a little too loud sometimes.

Only thing I can think is that the DJ monitors had a better/correct

RE: (313) Convextion and Echospace @ Fabric

2008-04-28 Thread Odeluga, Ken
I will refrain from telling T 'I told you so' [actually I mean Tristan,
not the other Mr T].

I had sort of guessed that it wouldn't work and said as much to Tristan
who was gobsmacked that I was amongst the fair number leaving the venue
after Convextion's solid performance.

Personally, I tend to feel Mr Hitchell's solo stuff a lot more deeply
than when it's him with Mr Modell. Plus, for the last few weeks, having
finally got round to digitizing the Deepchord mix of 'Miranda', I have
to say, I've been struggling to see what's good about it, in as much as
I tend to struggle to see what's so good about much Deepchord stuff.

Imo, it's not so much BC mark II as much as 'BC, AD' [if you catch my
drift] with the emphasis more on 'dead' than 'domini'. The pair are so
obviously influenced by BC, you'd hope but they'd also learn about the
subtlety in almost subliminal changes of atmosphere which you get with
BC tracks and which keeps them sparkling for several minutes at a time.
So far [again, imo] they've singularly failed to. And if you fail in
subtlety, the faults of that style become glaringly obvious and it
simply doesn't work anymore.

A polarised affair at London's Fabric. Gerard was fantastic - mostly ERP
style electro that sounded razorsharp on the soundsystem..some new bits
and classics, although Vox Automaton was a bit short for some reason.
Very happy to see him get a fantastic reaction as well.

Deepchord/Echospace was unmitigated sh*te. I'm sure Tristan will
elucidate far more than I could, as he was fuming! The sound was muddy,
so you couldn't hear the treble at all, but this was an hour of
relentlessly dull dub techno with no variation or subtlety whatsoever,
and a real shame because one of them (not mr Modell) was having the time
of his life behind the laptop. A shame he couldn't obviously hear what
sh*te we were hearing.

Don't cheat yourself kid. Get 'em all. I feel you on the basic channel
impressions, but I swear if you listen to the full trax loud and clear,
there's so much more movement and playfulness in ways you wouldn't
imagine (reverb dueling with the pans in a battle for your brains
anyone?). Trust. You'll hate yourself if you don't cop it and you hear
the one you didn't get out and loud (or in and loud for that matter). My

regarding the rerelease of convextion - miranda:


If the matrix release doesn't go forward -- or perhaps before it goes 
forward -- there will be a re-release on down low with only the original 
track and a new track, mastered at d&m, just 300 copies or so. I kinda like 
this idea since tho it would be a re-release, the re-release would be even 
more rare, both old and new versions would be special..but we'll see what 
happens.



just dug this old mail up to ask a question.

will 'miranda' be rereleased through downlow or will it
only be rereleased through matrix? pre-orders on the
matrix rerelease are huge from wat i've heard, so i should
probably preorder it now. on the other hand i'd rather
not buy a 2x12" when i can get the same track on a 12"
especially when the 12" is a really good pressing.

I never saw this site before, but it looks promising. I'm thinking
about grabbing some of my fav Mr De electrobooty from there, it's
easier to download than to rip the records I already own. I'll buy
good digital versions of tracks even if I already own them. Especially
since both my 1200's are broken and sitting in the corner. I really
hope they might put some more UR classics for sale. It would be nice
if they could expand their selection...

I agree Kent, though in fairness iTunes could be a lot lot worse. The 
DRM (currently) is fairly light and can be sidestepped.


It's the 128k-ness that puts me off. I want 320kbps or full-fat wavs (in 
fact i'd much prefer the wav). For that reason, juno.co.uk or beatport 
are what I'd choose over iTMS.

Hey each to their own, but I wouldn't knock iTunes so much myself.

For me iTunes = a reasonably fair, equitable arrangement for both artist and 
industry (no industry, no artist and vice versa, remember?) in which everybody 
who produces gets paid something as opposed to everybody who produces doing it 
for free - as in 'illegal downloads'.

Also, regarding the quality, whilst ITMS files are ostensibly in 128kbps 
format, in fact, with Apple's proprietary 'AAC/m4a' (version of mp3) in reality 
using an average bit-rate, '128' can often mean rates up to 256. (The info is 
all on the web). Also, with the iTunes 'Producers Package', original master 
files from which the consumer files are copied are at a very good resolution, 
again raising the final quality - as I say, if you geek-out enough you can find 
all this - but people often say ITMS songs 'sound better' than 128, and 
certainly a lot of the ones I have heard do.

(Clearly, I don't work for Apple, by the way! Just wanted to give a fair, 
balanced view.)

RE: (313) convextion live question

2006-11-29 Thread Webmaster
What's even more amazing about Gerard's original Convextion and ERP
releases, such as those on Matrix or our old HardSync imprint, they were all
mainly produced with just a single digital keyboard and arranged on a first
generation digital desktop sequencer.  Percussion and all.  He basically
bought a synth and sequencer one day and disappeared for two weeks in his
garage apartment.  He wouldn't skate, hang out, return calls, nothing.  Then
out of nowhere he emerged with tracks that were mind blowing.  Zero to
unreal in under two weeks.

I'm in Atlanta now and can't comment on what he's using for production
today, but it wouldn't surprise me if he borrows greatly from his old bag of
tricks.

It's great to see his music picking up so much momentum lately.  He's
definitely on another level when it comes to constructing tracks, mad
respect for the guy.

Subject: (313) Convextion

As there will no doubt be at least 80 credible reviews of the 800 copies
of the Convextion album, I'll try not to focus so much on what makes
each track essential to the album (and it is an album proper) as what
makes Gerard Hanson so compelling to the core of the techno scene; what
makes him one of the few who can sell out an initial pressing before it
is released, even after a four-year hiatus under this guise. In my mind
that is the thing that's worth writing and reading about at this moment.
People don't need convincing to buy his music once they hear it, and
clips are available everywhere. But in a time when labels, distributors
and shops are closing left and right, why is it that one quiet and
genial fellow from Texas can attract so much attention when so many
artists and labels are struggling? In short, is this merit or hype? This
is what the unconvinced and unaware are asking themselves, and what I
hope to answer in words (however difficult that is).

It will have been said over and over that in Gerard's music there is
always a preoccupation with reverb. He uses delay much more than most
and tends to get away with it remarkably well. But to reduce his impact
on the techno world to his use of reverb Basic Channel style would be to
disregard everything else he is doing. Perhaps 10-20% of the final
result will have been basicchannelised in the aggregate, which will of
course appeal to fans of that sound, and most techno fans full-stop (and
this is of course not a criticism of him, given that he has been
fulfilling the prophecy of that sound since it generated). But lost in
this narrow reduction is the fact that he's still got a very normal (if
not exemplary) techno arrangement underneath, and often 2-3 times as
much going on at any given time, or just as much variance horizontally.
What is superlative is that he manages to do this without clutter,
incoherence or regrets about any part of an evolving track being
superior to the rest. In short, he succeeds. In my mind there are four
essential ingredients to this success that set him apart from his
peers: 

A) His arrangements are always ambitious. While there are some people
who succeed as well as he does at making their arrangements work, and
there are many people who try to do as much as he does, there are very
few who merge this ambition and execution as well as he does. 

B) While this may seem like a statement of the obvious, when his efforts
in total are added up, and everything can still be picked out so cleanly
in the mix, it is nothing short of a miracle. His production skills
can't be faulted, and the pressing of his new album at D+M will only
help to justly solidify this reputation. 

C) Synthesis is perhaps the most overlooked ingredient in what makes
Convextion what it is, and probably the one thing that distinguishes him
most from Basic Channel (to unfairly extend the comparison). In nearly
every track he is deploying sines, squares, pulses and saws in exactly
the right spots, and always tweaking their character throughout, as
though the arrangements require it, although 99.9% of producers and
listeners would be perfectly satisfied without these extra touches. None
of these sounds are essential, but we always know that if it weren't
these sounds, he'd make another equally compelling sound to take its
place, and it would work just as well in the mix overall. There aren't
many producers who can impart this comfort in sound design. It is always
extensive and almost always right.
This is expert synthesis.

D) The one thing that is probably overlooked even more than sound design
is composition, which is always impeccable. Given obvious skill in these
other areas, many producers would mail in the actual writing of music,
which is of course one of the most compelling ingredients in the appeal
of Convextion, if shrouded within his many other successes. The key is
that he is one of the few who have mastered this totality of making
techno, yet still continues to challenge us with the individual melodies
that get wrung through these other disciplines. This is probably the
most commendable facet of his genius. 
Put this all together and you have the techno record buyer's hysteria
we've seen in the last month of anticipation of this release. It has
been a long time coming. I really hope everyone gets a copy. It does not
disappoint.
This can only raise the bar for quality in techno - which is not to say
it's the best album evarrr, but in terms of ambition, imagination,
coherence and execution it's hard to see how it can't be one of them. I
don't know if those are the standards we should use to judge techno, but
if they are, it's certainly one

Re: (313) Convextion

2006-11-19 Thread J.T.
thanks so much for that review Tristan. even if nobody else is as passionate 
about the album as you, your reaction alone is deeply gratifying and means a 
lot to us. very well written and thoughtful, you definitely hear it and 
appreciate it much the same way we do. minto & i love gerard personally, so 
we're more than a little biased, but we agree with everything you said...i'm 
afraid to even read it to gerard because he will get all bashful and 
self-conscious about making more music! i especially agree that, yes, he is a 
master of synthesis and composition..and the mood and intimate feeling in his 
music is the reflection of a sensitive and beautiful human being that is just 
gerard thru and thru, it's really personal, and that's something i value very 
very highly in electronic music. the album is a reflection of over 10 years of 
his work, a lot of experiences in those years...it's just a deep thing all 
around for us and we're real proud of it, regardless of whether its commercial 
presentation is hyped or heartfelt.

the cover has no deeper meaning other than it's pretty and techno, and pretty 
techno! our photog friend ryan guillot took it while he was in prague, yep.

martin is right, d+m is indeed just a mastering house, the record was pressed 
at rand. both places were unbelievably kind to us. we are/were broke as hell 
and could not even afford to do the initial 500 pressings...except that we got 
unbelievable breaks from both d+m and rand. the whole process of making the 
record was really special and would not have happened without the help of a lot 
of great friends, and real diehard supporters of dance music as an artform 
(beyond just a niche dj market or dance-hipster trendy coolness etc etc).

i hope people are not disappointed that we are going beyond our initial claim 
of "limited to 500". it was never our intention to not meet demand, 500 was 
just all we could (not even) afford. now we are receiving lots of help from 
distribs to press more...so hopefully most people who are actively after the 
album will be able to get ahold of a copy eventually.

blah blah zz right? but thanks everybody!

track being superior to the rest. In short, he succeeds. In my mind there
are four essential ingredients to this success that set him apart from his
peers: 

A) His arrangements are always ambitious. While there are some people who
succeed as well as he does at making their arrangements work, and there are
many people who try to do as much as he does, there are very few who merge
this ambition and execution as well as he does. 

B) While this may seem like a statement of the obvious, when his efforts in
total are added up, and everything can still be picked out so cleanly in the
mix, it is nothing short of a miracle. His production skills can't be
faulted, and the pressing of his new album at D+M will only help to justly
solidify this reputation. 

C) Synthesis is perhaps the most overlooked ingredient in what makes
Convextion what it is, and probably the one thing that distinguishes him
most from Basic Channel (to unfairly extend the comparison). In nearly every
track he is deploying sines, squares, pulses and saws in exactly the right
spots, and always tweaking their character throughout, as though the
arrangements require it, although 99.9% of producers and listeners would be
perfectly satisfied without these extra touches. None of these sounds are
essential, but we always know that if it weren't these sounds, he'd make
another equally compelling sound to take its place, and it would work just
as well in the mix overall. There aren't many producers who can impart this
comfort in sound design. It is always extensive and almost always right.
This is expert synthesis.

D) The one thing that is probably overlooked even more than sound design is
composition, which is always impeccable. Given obvious skill in these other
areas, many producers would mail in the actual writing of music, which is of
course one of the most compelling ingredients in the appeal of Convextion,
if shrouded within his many other successes. The key is that he is one of
the few who have mastered this totality of making techno, yet still
continues to challenge us with the individual melodies that get wrung
through these other disciplines. This is probably the most commendable facet
of his genius. 
Put this all together and you have the techno record buyer's hysteria we've
seen in the last month of anticipation of this release. It has been a long
time coming. I really hope everyone gets a copy. It does not disappoint.
This can only raise the bar for quality in techno - which is not to say it's
the best album evarrr, but in terms of ambition, imagination, coherence and
execution it's

2006-11-06 Thread Stoddard, Kamal
Alright. I guess this is as good a time as any to say this. 

THE NEW CONVEXTION JOINT IS FACKING AMAZING!

Okay, aside from the fact that it sounds like the basic channel template
has been stuck in a hyper-evolutionary time folding chamber for like
eons just becoming sentient and this popped out...

...yeah, aside from that, this is some of the most detailed,
fluctuating, pulse-waving, freaky ish out there. I kept laughing as I
put on track after track and thought to myself, "guess dude doesn't like
hi hats and snares?" then only to realize a couple bowls later they were
perfectly there, just phased to Pluto and buried dp in the mix.
Which brings me to the keyword here. Dep. Not deep like,
"wow...man...that's deep..." or the afro-house people deep. I mean deep
as in literally. There are sounds buried so deep in the sonic layering
that (for the first time in a long time)I feel like a real aquanaut
again going exploring for sounds and watching them shift all together at
times like a school of fish (alien pretty fish). There were a couple
songs I didn't really stick with to the end...but I was still feeling
them joints. I haven't even looked at the track titles so I can't give
specifics on names yet. Just remember, it doesn't take much to get lost
in there. Really lost. Not the show. Your mind...

I also got the E>R>P> joint I missed awhile back. OMFG! I really still
can't describe this one. It's beautiful and growls at your face. 

The one thing I found disconcerting about both of these though was they
were FAST. Like some of sheds's older stuff. Like at -8 it's just
grooving. It doesn't detract from the songs at all just the mixability
with some of my other stuff. Truth be told, I hope Mr. Vext never reads
this as I'd hate to taint the process with thoughts of "mixability". 

Oh yeah! and I got the custom hood-art on both sleeve pieces by senor
sharkface JTizzletron which takes it from like collectible to heirloom
status. One of the best vinyl purchases I've ever made. 
 
And as a nod to the kids reaction thread: My boys were all over the
electro Saturday morning. They were into the hard fast stuff. Thrashing,
throwing the couch pillows, and not even caring if I was looking. Just
ballsout. Full on dancing with their mean faces(awesome). Then I went
into some of the more straightup 4x4 dubby deep stuff and they started
doing some weird ground dancing that almost went breakdancy but then
they petered out and went for cinnamon toast. Next time I'm gonna get
flix. Yall gone bug.
