The first track, Airbag, should be on every mix engineers shortlist of reference tracks for “incredible rock mix”.

Good morning everybody! ☕️🫂⚡️

At the 3:04 mark of the track below, Aphex Twin offers us a glimpse at the sample he used to craft the entire seminal work that is Bucephalus Bouncing Ball. It sounds like a marble or ball bearing hitting a glass table.

You read that right: he used that sample to craft the entire song, using now free software called Composers Desktop Project https://composersdesktop.com/

It’s janky and dated and to my knowledge, nothing else exists (almost 30 years later, that does what it does.

Here’s the rub (and the proof of work): there was no GUI for Composers Desktop Project when this was written. It would have all be done via command line. I cannot imagine even attempting to recreate this in #Ableton, much less conjuring up the ideas and executing every beat division and tone with command prompts, and no influence to draw from. What a legend.

Quiet, the mempool is sleeping 💤

Been away for a couple days. What did I miss?

GM, folks ☕️⚡️🫂

Just finished my semi-annual deletion of everything I saved on Spotify, Tidal and unsubscribe to everything I’ve been watching on YouTube. If anyone has any records/channels that they would recommend: I need a reboot.

This is the first record I found this morning. So far so good. #tunestr
