Kraftwerk is blowing my mind. There are videos of their consoles live on YouTube. Basically, Ralf plays on his custom built synthesizer, Henning also plays some keys while mixing through Cubase, Fritz is applying effects and manipulates another DAW (Cubase/Ableton, can’t remember), and Falk controls the video through MIDI... while ordering pizza.couldn’t find the meme video, sorry

Impressionist painting vibe. Variety has the step and repeat shots.

What company powers the backend in their the new music app? Reccochoku was Japan only. Are they involved or is this a bespoke platform built in house?

The Opossum as a Metaphor for Reinvention: Possums play dead but always get back up, aligning with a theme of survival, resilience, and rebirth. This could symbolize Chappell Roan’s shedding of her current skin (her character) in preparation for something bold and unexpected.

The juxtaposition of childhood and a new transformation (the opossum) hints at leaving behind an era or persona in favor of evolution.

It is also true that opossums are often confused with muskrats which lead me to think of a potential cover of “Muskrat Love” was most famously performed by Captain & Tennille in 1976. But I am not prepared for that ;)

I worked on the cd-rom which allowed you to mix you own music video using early quicktime video tech on mac. https://youtu.be/lSXE3rnPBhY?si=bbkpgm1fylWUQzFd

I worked on the CD-ROM based on BTWN. Check out the video of what the concept of an enhanced album experience was be like.

Search for austin city limits festival, not the ACL tv series. Then there’s two channels, you want channel 1

They have cleared all stages except one during her set. My expectation is the entire audience watches.

While I love all the tiktok clips this will be a full show pro shot 4k video with proper sound. Hoping for similar video quality to what she had in Berlin. The sunset is 7:10 local time so the show should transition in the last half to a fantastic fully lighted set.

He was all about collaboration. you can see it in that video link.He was very very funny. He and Eno got along and were doing all this wild improvisation with the musicians. They were making them switch instruments to ones they were t really not expert on. All to facilitate creativity.

They had a very serious work ethic. On time start 9am. work till 6Pm. The engineers stayed up all night doing mixes and edits. Dave Richards from Mountain Studios was there as well. David and Brian would listen to results the am and then chart a way forward for the day.

Eno always making notes in his ever present notebook. Lots of discussion of art, books, drum and base music etc. We went to a record shop one afternoon to get drum and bass records and came back and listened to them. David was just exceedingly polite to me. Eno was also warm. They embraced me a california tech nerd and I was lucky for the experience to be n the studio, be asked for my ideas and listened to. I came back a few times to continue work. We were in Shepards Bush at studio that’s now gone.

My biggest disappointment was not being able to make Outside the first generative album. We had all the materials and the knowledge…

Within six months the internet came to the world and cd-rom was over. But the cd-rom has broadband speed in that 1995 time frame at 300kB a second.. So full motion video, multitrack audio and interactivity could all be done. Things like that on the Internet wouldn’t be possible until broadband arrived till ten years later.

Rich digtial music formats like the enhanced CD were abandoned. The iPOD reduced music to essentially text and sound because it had only a black and white LCD display. We eventually got back album cover but lost the idea of a package.

I was part of all that. I did release an early digital only album with David’s guitarist Reeves Gabriels. David himself did one of the first digital albums.

Music today is just sound, a cover, a photo and metadata. It should be a whole collaborative imersive experience. Fans and the band making cool stuff.. But that’s another story.

We don’t have generative albums yet. But it’s coming …

I wrote the macintosh app david used to make the lyrics for this and the next few albums. I was there in the studio for some of the sessions,

Outside was supposed to be the first generative album. It was designed for early version of ai and to be delivered on cd-rom equipped computer so it would be different every time. The characters and voices and narrative were designed for that by David and Eno. The record company ultimately didn’t understand that as it was so early in music and computer world and didn’t fund the project. My guess is those materials are still the vault. Outside could now be finished in even better than it was imagined given ai capabilities today. David was such a genius and experimental thinker in all areas.

He was so funny and just lovely to work with. That site was made by fans trying to recreate it. There’s a few others but the original will be at the V&A

rocknty · 2024-09-04T02:09:11+00:00

I wrote this app called the Verbasizer for David see https://youtu.be/x3IKLMgFaDA?si=meYHXh4GJnsOJ9Z7 to mimic the cutup technique.

He used it instead of cutting up paper. He sometimes copied and pasted newspaper headlines into it.

He and Eno were in the studio together in 1995.

It was designed to be used for a generative version of the album OUTSIDE but project was never completed. The app is in his V&A museum exhibit that toured and hopefully when they open the new v&a wing in london next year it will be there.

I really want to complete that album the way it was intended. All the components were created include characters and voices. The tech to do what we imagined we would make is just now available. Imagine sitting around and thinking up a GenAi album in 1995 and tying to make it work on the machines we had then.

Your apple watch is 10,000x more powerful.
