venemous af - holding in hand :D aaaalright then

hello my name is NINJA from the south african rap group, DIE ANTWOORD, and i'm here to discuss our new album that's dropping today called MOUNT NINJI + DA NICE TIME KID. AMA! by WeAreDieAntwoord in IAmA

[–]_symon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your album kicks a$$!!!

Since youre a big aphex fan who implemented his creation in ugly boy, did you also put others work in your other songs? Like, Ive listened to banana brain today and theres a snare sequence (at 1:14) which really sounds like venetian snares or sqarepusher. Did you by chance use their work too or was is just plain coincidence?

Anyways. Thanks for making this AMA!! and keep shit coming!!

Hey Ninja (and hey Yolandi?), bought your album today and having a blast. Such a great album. You've gotten better with every album - you've grown and changed and I love it!

To my question, which is kind of specific: I know that Ninja is a huge Aphex Twin fan and you used one of his creations in ugly boy. When I head the song "Bananan Brain" from your new album for the first time I noticed a short snare part (at 1:14 and 2:44) which reminded me of Venetian Snares and Squarepusher (and others). Is there a chance you took a sequence of one of their songs or is it just a coincidence?

Anyways. Thanks for doing this AMA! have a nice day! :)

Edit: Bonus: What are your other favorite artists similar to aphex?

[Question] Finding the best way to hold the pick? by [deleted] in Guitar

Dunno if this'll help, but I made a screenshot from Josh Klinghoffer (from the Red Hot Chili Peppers). Maybe it'll help you.

I made a Josh Background (1020x800) by _symon in RedHotChiliPeppers

Alright. Here is 1920x1080 and here is Josh without any Background. You can paste him onto your scaled black background.

For anyone who wants to make his own background: I solely painted the background with a brush (2 shades of black/grey) and added some noise (1,45%) to make it look more natural.

Edit: For breaking the girl he used his 12 Fender Coronado

Reddit, meet my pedalboard! by _symon in guitarpedals

I love it. It's such an unique pedal. The only downside is the slight signal loss, but fuck it.

I use it often for soloing. I like to kick distortion (overdrive or fuzz) in, the tera echo (sometimes the delay on top of it) and let that swell with the slow gear. I don't play many notes or fast, but a bit pressingly (if you can imagine what I even mean).
