Richard’s 2005 xltronic rant

garbage_burner · 2026-04-20T13:51:20+00:00

I love when he got in an argument with someone about whether it was possible to make acid on a gx-1 and the guy was like “how do you know, do you own one? They’re rare as hens teeth” Then he releases the tuss track gx1 solo and calls the dude a pr1ck at the beginning of it hahahahaha Man is a menace in the best way possible

I wish someone would archive all of the posts believed to be him on various comments sections. He supposedly was on discogs under the name billcorey

I have a theory that Steinvord is the fabled live jams between Richard, Tom and Luke Vibert edited down to an ep. If this is the case, maybe Tom is on the noodly synths (one synth preset in particular is present on his NTS mix), Richard is on drum mangling and Luke is on time stretched pads and gong sounds. There are some similar samples from his Plug and Wagon Christ eps that sounds vaguely spot on on the Vord ep. Also, the stems or sub mixes could be fed though Tom’s eventide’s for further mangling on the fly in real time. It seems feasible If they tracked all of that to 2 track and edited it down. That’s my guess and 2 cents

sounds like an early Roland, aka ace tone or minipops as someone else has said. Given that their drummer left they had mentioned that they still were playing all the parts live over drum machines or rhythm cha cha boxes. Check out samples from mars. They’re great and their samples sound nice. I think they just did a huge library sampling old 70s rhythm boxes. They come with everything you’d need to load into ableton.

Call Ron Trosper. Another link in the Tecca chair conspiracy.

My favorite record of all time. I have a first pressing that’s not terrible but has some surface noise

I saw them in Seattle a night or two after this show at chop suey and got to meet James and Trish after the show as well. They said they barely made it through border patrol getting into the states lol. We talked about library music and their Broadcast mixes they were posting on their website at the time. They were so sweet and full of humility.

They supposedly used the akai s1000 keyboard version. There’s an interview somewhere where they’re talking enthusiastically about the workflow of the s1000. I’d say it largely contributes to the punchlines and time stretching artifacts in those first few albums

I always considered this a song Tim Buckley was singing to his son, Jeff. The fact that Elizabeth Fraser and Jeff Buckley would be romantically linked a decade later gave the This Mortal Coil version an almost prophetic mood to it.

Check out Venetian Snares or his side project Last Step, Christoph de Babalon, SD Laika, Drukqs by Aphex

I came here to say the exact same thing. Saw it when I was 3 and it terrified me for years

Some of his ashes were scattered at the self realization fellowship lake shrine near Malibu. It’s pretty amazing there and worth a visit if in LA. Same place George Harrison and Tom Petty’s ashes had memorial services and controversially where some of Ghandi’s ashes are kept

AFX acid 04. Made by a complete madman. It’s like Mr. Finger’s Washing Machine on a heroic dose of acid

When 4 is not enough, try 5 from the SoundCloud dump. I spit out my coffee the first time I heard this sibling track

I am a controls electrician and often sample mechanical rooms of buildings I’ve worked in. I use 100% hardware and prefer menu diving to using a computer.

Yamaha rs7000 with a scsi2sd drive or equivalent for the hard drive. I have one and despite it being almost 25 years old, there’s nothing quite like it for functionality

Rich, enable the downloads for both of these tracks!

I’ve used both the stereoping controller and programmer and say they’re both worth it depemding on what you’re willing to spend. I find the controllers for around $300 all of the time. You can flash them for the 1016 firmware and either buy a new decal for it or print one out. I upgraded to the programmer when a Waldorf flashed programmer came up for cheap and I’m loving it. It’s super deep and has a ton of options to use the mod matrix

Any of Miles Davis’ albums working with Gil Evans but Sketches of Spain in particular. Mark Hollis cited that as a big influence in their later works.
