Crate Soul Brothers newsletter #99: Random music
Newsflash 28. January 2003
Dear friends,
it's all happening now: from next week we'll have a totally new radio program every week, on Thursdays between 22-00h. The Crate Soul Brothers show - and the radio itself - can't only be listened through the internet anymore, but if everything goes well, it will be broadcasted from the beginning of February in the area of Budapest on the 90,3FM frequency. Check it if you are near, otherwise keep us listening through the internet at www.tilos.hu.
The next newsletter is planned to be a special one: this time we would like you to write some comments, opinions, likes and dislikes about our newsletters and radio shows. We would publish these writings in the 100th newsletter, and try to make it better in the future.
Last weekend we have started to work on a new remix for a well-known tune of the last year. Although we have a little experience in producing music (mostly Ambrus aka the mighty Erik Sumo), when we are together, usually we have totally different ideas in our mind and it is only a matter of fortune what comes out in the end. When I searched a short reading for this week, I tried to find what a real expert says about this process. Here is the method of an all time hero of us:
"Vadim - [.] I'm interested in production, and I'm interested in extracting certain ideas that are in music, and discovering certain things and going down a certain path. I'm not interested in the randomness, and the non-directionless of music or whatever.
SAB - Well, I like the idea of experimenting with randomness to find the good sounds.
Vadim - Don't get me wrong. A lot of things I've found are just from mucking around. I can find a new ways of editing sound, but that has nothing to do with structure, how you arrange the sound. You can be messing around with a sampler, and suddenly think, "Ah, this sound sounds really ill backwards," or "the way I spliced this sound or timestretched it." You could say that is a random thing, that you never meant to do it. But it's not anything really to do with the structure. Well, I don't know before I start a song how it's going to end up totally. But I've got an idea of what I want to do, and I'm still controlling how it comes out. I could spend days doing it, and not like what I've done, and then I change it all."
