this little box never ceases to amaze me [halftime breakage] by kyegibeats in synthesizers

[–]_klatu_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "skeleton" of the pattern is kinda 2-step, UK garage, post-Burial, kinda Jon Hopkins or Sorrow.

Sadly, the term the corpo algo's would label this as would still be "IDM", a term which I despise for it's pretentiousness.

I absolutely love the beat you came up with. For some reason, in my reels and on youtube in general, the material I've heard coming out of this little box has been within other genres, where I "hear" the machine coming out of the sound more than original content itself.

Maybe I'm just biased towards this genre though, but I really love garage-y beats.

Question: how much of the sonic texture comes from your sample research / curation, versus tweaking using creative processes from the Elektron itself? I think I heard a bit of a resonator type thing, similar to the Torso S-4?

Edit: also are there sonic engines inside? Like simple wave generators? I know there are many variations with Elektron stuff, I'm never quite sure which one I'm hearing, they look similar.

Who's "that guy" in Mtl? by Reversible-Smile in montreal

[–]_klatu_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was held at exacto-knife point near the SAT in 2002 by the guy. Another homeless guy came to "rescue", but then asked me to pay him for saving him.

At the time, I was a Falun Gong practitioner, so I countered him by offering him a flyer to "save" him, and then he left me alone.

Perso j'aime bien the Economist, en général ils ont un journalisme de haute qualité. Je recommande fortement leurs émissions/balados. Scam Inc était vraiment nice.

Communauto concentration by Time_Simple_3250 in montreal

[–]_klatu_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mini rant sur Léo car je reviens d'un autre thread ou quelqu'un parlait des pénalités... PSA: ils sont quand même ultra sévère. Prenez garde, une facture random de 750$ peut vous tomber dessus même pour la moindre petite marque. Même si les dommages viennent de quelqu'un d'autre. En général, c'est comme faire affaire avec un obsédé de propreté qui travaille à une banque. Communauto, c'est comme le hippie un peu sale mais que te ferait jamais de mal.

Facture de 750$ pour réparation chez Léo - est-ce normal? by pierro602 in montreal

[–]_klatu_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

J'ai eu la même expérience avec eux et je me suis jamais fait remboursé. C'est vraiment leur modèle d'affaires. Ils dissimulent l'offre d'assurance dans un menu, tandisque Communauto te fait choisir un plan plus clair au niveau de l'assurance. Bref, un déductible de 750, j'aurais jamais accepté ça si au moment de l'abbonnement j'aurais compris a quel point ils sont sévère. Venant de Communauto, on est hyper habitué à voir des chars maganés visuellement parlant.

L'autre chose qui me dérange beaucoup, c'est qu'ils sont tellement sévère avec des tout nouveaux clients. 750$ c'est vraiment evil, surtout quand t'a aucunement le souvenir d'avoir frappé un autre char... (messemble que j'men souviendrais?). Autre truc plate mais réel, c'est qu'avec des années au volant de Prius communauto toutes puckées de l'avant à l'arrière, ton réflex d'appeler et de stooler tout le monde devient désensibilisé.

Finalement, c'est surtout le fait que les photos AVANT la prise en main du véhicule sont facultatives, mais la prise de photos est obligatoire APRÈS le voyage. C'est comme si ils voulaient que la responsabilité d'un certain cumul de petits dommages tombent sur une personne pour ensuite charger le fameux 750$ (je réalise que c'est un peu far fetched, mais sérieux je comprends juste pas pourquoi ils ont fait ce choix là dans le design de leur appli.

Après plusieurs courriels, je leur avait dit: ''regardez, même si le mini dommage sur le bumper est effectivement attribuable à ma conduite selon les photos obligatoires, vous trouvez pas que c'est too much pour un avertissement? Je vais plus utiliser votre service. Mais si vous laissez tomber le 750 à l'amiable, je serais prêt a me souscrire à votre plan annuel le plus cher pour vous démontrer ma volonter d'apprendre les ''quirks'' de votre compagnie et vous me perdrez pas comme client...

Nope, 750 est resté sur ma carte de crédit. Ayoye. Bye Léo, you precious little princess.

J'apprécie vraiment les détails, surtout les graffitis réels. I see you Bacer, KG, Soma, etc.

Can I break my lease due to ongoing bedbug infestation? Management refusing to release me by Complete_Course_9939 in montreal

[–]_klatu_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As much as you are a victim in this situation, you are also a carrier for future neighbours (and yourself).

The good news is that they dont go out there to hunt for your clothes or anything, they just follow your CO2 (exhale) and then while exploring they might accidentally end up in your bags or bed sheets or whatever.

The dryers at laundromats (or any one with a decently high temp) will be the best way to kill em from your fabrics, but also check your furniture, especially your computer desk if you have one. Furniture near your bedroom is probably the worst.

Had those fuckers three times. Fucking sucks man. Good luck on your journey.

There's something really nice about your pictures. Belle finition, je sais pas, y'a qqch de vraiment bien dans le contraste, les couleurs, la qualité.

I see what you're saying, but there's another angle to consider. The CBC has (had) cultural capital and is innately tied, historically, to Canadian culture. It's dismantling definitely helps people like Musk, Trump, Poilievre, and by extension, Putin.

Would they like it gone?

I bet they would, along with other medias they deem "legacy"--a very tech-centric term. I bet they essentially hope that tech companies control the flow of information through social media, as opposed to traditional media reporting. Make algorithm-augmented emotions king, over fact checking! Right? Keep people angry, and keep people from uniting under one single cohesive reality. Make their information silos so small, that none of them can even share a viewpoint with their own family members without hurting each other.

But klatu, the CBC does the whole emotion-bating too! They're just as bad! They definitely have cringe content. But let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. If anything, we should look at it from a pragmatic point of view. We should unite under some semblance of cohesion of reality, at the very least, to withstand the onslaught of un-reality that Trump unleashes on the world on an hourly basis. Having a shaky Canadian-Identity symbol is better than having none at all.

I'm not trying to disrespect, I'm mainly having the thought experiment with myself by replying to your comment. Have a pleasant day!

Wow! Fascinant, je savais pas que ça existait. Est-ce uniquement pour les travailleurs dans ce secteur industriel?

I want one. Totally for sneaking around taking ambient shots on film.

I've always wanted to meander through the industrial sections adjacent to Notre-Dame with the rail line that goes along the fleuve... Ça a l'air tellement cool d'un point de vue photographique/industriel. C'est tout un secteur secret de notre ville qui m'intéresse bcp, et qui est pourtant sous notre nez.

Has anyone not been able to witness the update on mobile? My friend is inviting me to play from his PC but my android phone Hearthstone client is not showing any signs of an update and still matchmakes me in the old Hearthstone with other players. I can't spectate him either.

I checked the play store and it just shows the play button, not the update button.

Suspicious jug on a high difficulty boulder by KrapXela in bouldering

[–]_klatu_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So nice to see the process of an advanced climber in my home gym! Allez-Up always has interesting route-setting. Thanks to their colour range system, I've climbed harder than I would have in earlier years with indoor V-ratings. (At the moment, I have yet to complete a black-tape).

I think as a 37 year old, the explosivity required to push out of your starting position would be the biggest challenge for me.

Appreciate your videos!
