tell me about how your shows went
which ones, the last few?
yeah like the 11th (may 2001) at the cooler & the adams house..
oh that stuff's great, yeah, the best. those 3 days were lime lit.
@ the cooler,, this guy lary 7, runs a studio in brooklyn. he likes to produce mego audio & panasonic records. he played, this group electro putas played, which is like this killer like japanese american like freedom proverb group. oh yea, cex played, he always does really well.
yea
and this guy marumari from rhode island,
hey cool
cool bill yea, it was really but yea I played for like half an hour or something and then played into cex's set and ryan just kind've did his thing where he played tracks on his laptop & psyches the crowd
that shit would happen, we were out, hmmmmmm, you know 7 in the morning and then I drove back @ 10, went to the adams house show, which was really nice. josh & I played at the same time again.
nice
that was cool, it was a beautiful day. then that night we did the jake vs eyeshout.. the e.o.s.s. vs hrvatski and that was this killer... my girlfriend robbin made me this giant parrot costume
yeahaa ?
and I did a synchopated parrot dance. and jake was like a mexican wrestler. and our sound killed each other, and I was bleeding at the mouth. we both laid down on the stage for the last hour & a half. I have seth's video footage, we're just like lying dead with like blood all over...
yea I'd wondered if you'd died there hahaha
and everybody just like, kind've stood there, and looked at us and was like mad when they came in... we got this mc for the evening, mc int er upt he just kind've came over and he would look at us and was like "well they're both dead, goodnight" and he just kind've played a set off his computer, like a reaktor /reason set off his computer, it was really good you know, but he just kind've sat in the corner of the stage and we're just lying there dead with lights on us. we had good judges, the categories were:
sound ability, appearance ability, and similarities to squarepusher ability
they had to rate, they had the cards, 1-5, jake had this whole act where he was trying to pay off the judges even when I came out like a bird I came out n pecked people n stuff that was like 3 runs in 24 hours so I didn't sleep for, you know a day or something by the time that night came (@ lilli's) I was just completely waisted I had no idea where I was, you know, I thought I was a bird
so tell me about the new cd
what, the rkk13 ?
yes
yea, that's.. just remixes, it took me 3 years to record them. edited makes 35 tracks, I've probably got like 60 remixes but I only have 35 on the cd and they're all like 2 minutes long or less. & it's just, you know, I asked everybody who I liked, you know, probably 3 years ago right after that attention cats came out, 4 years ago. I just gave copies to people and they were like "yea !" do whatever but they got the cd, & like every sound, every track, I just gave it to everybody. it was pretty cool, everybody was really nice about it, you know people who I was weirded by, you know, scary to me, turned out to be very nice
ok, leafcutter & umm, well yea I think mike has it too, but they're saying that your planet-mu one, your new one's going to be pretty great
yea, if I ever finish it, you know. basically all they've heard is like the stuff that was, ... I finished a single I was going to call stop-gap-measure, that was only like 4 tracks of just like new, like stuff that I did after oiseaux came out. I played with mike, & I gave him a cd-r & he was like really into it. so he was like ok we'll do a 7", and then it turned into a 12", and then it turned into an LP, and then it turned into a cd and a double LP, you know and I haven't really done any tracks for it, you know for like the last 9 months or so
but uhh, yea it's kind've hard to do hrvatski stuff these days, all the software that i use is all like completely gone, obsolete. like vision isn't being made anymore, so everytime I open vision it crashes and I have no way to fix it, like my entire style is like based on this one program that's not being made anymore. so I'm trying to learn logic & it's not very intuitive I'm slowly making progress, I'm making lots of newer tracks new tracks are, are... less, sort've, dance oriented they're only very sort've free time sort've like that sick and fucked up sounding thing you know? which is kind've a cheap feel
yea, what did you use for bad raume (rom) ?
raume (roy muh) ? that stuff is all just vision & the kai sampler. it's just I walked around the house with one microphone, russian 2 mic, & recording everything in the house just like, you know there's 3 tracks on the 7" that came out, there's bad raum is the blue bathroom downstairs, it's just the fixtures, the lighting system, the fan, the lightswitch, the sound of the showerhead, stuff like that. and then there's the doorway, eintrag raum, which is, you know, the squeaking door. and the kitchen one is just all pots & pans, kochen raum, refrigerator, microwave, that stuff so, yea like every sound on that record is completely non like non-dsp, just like natural acoustic sound. I was just going through a dsp blow out. I guess I'll make about 2 more 7"s of raume stuff, because that's stuff I can still do because it's very lo-tech. I can still do it with the one working version of vision I have, I can make that stuff so I did two more tracks already, washer & dryer and then I'm doing a bunch more in a different room & that will be eventually on reckank
nice, so tell me about the label..
reckank? it's just you know we haven't put anything out in two years, so this remix cd that's coming out is like the first thing in quite a while.
