"The physicality of the sound is a radical act against atomization, and the powers that be who want us to stay home and watch Netflix."

completely mindblowing Tyondai Braxton show at Public Records last night. never heard anyone use the detail of that system to remotely the same effect he did. felt like a cousin of the recent Autechre shows, but sort of loopy and freewheeling, almost hippyish, instead of austere
for the half dozen other Acetone fans on here: RHCP's "Porcelain" sounds so much like them I feel like they must have been ripping them off on purpose. or was it just something in the late-’90s LA air? youtube.com/watch?v=j0tHXHcq…

for the Pitchfork Sunday Review, I wrote about Art of Noise's IN VISIBLE SILENCE, an amazing album whose reputation has still not fully recovered from the beating it took in the press 40 years ago pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…
once people realize they can instruct the computer bassist to play the root, and also sometimes the other notes in the chord, there's no telling what sorts of new musical possibilities will be unlocked
Once musicians realize they can prompt things like "140 BPM, F minor, 4-bar bass phrase. Build the rhythm around a half-time kick/snare groove. Keep F as the tonal anchor but use Ab, C, Eb and occasional chromatic approach notes for tension" more musicians will start using AI. The only reason why AI music sounds generic is because most people playing with these models don't know anything about music. It only makes those knowledgeable more capable.
