What`s inspiring you right now?

[Mattias Fridell (emb)]

What´s inspire me?

Simon & Garfunkel, Dire Strates, Chris Rea, Blackmore´s nigth, Jan Johansson and some other "non-techno" artists.
These guys inpires me to make music, even if it´s not techno producers =)

look i mentioned this in the dark forum but i think it's really relavant here - bbc radio 3 10.15-11.30 friday nights (perfect for the car). DONT MISS IT. it's amazing. this program is opening my whole mind at the mo. sometimes it gets a little too obscure/rocky/hiphop for me but then there's points where you're seriously on the edge of your seat.

for all you guys out of the uk, follow this link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/index.shtml?logo

and then follw the links to 'new music/mixing it' (on the right hand side)....

wow, this rules. Radio 3 rules the day again.

[MARKEG]

i cant believe it sometimes that i'm in the car listening to radio 3 (shock horror!!!) but i am seriously quite religious about this program at the moment. i'm hearing so much difference on this show...

[MARKEG]

if anyone's reading this who are not particularly into anything but techno, i recommend following this link, and listening to it whilst doing something constructive (like designing your website or something). it really is such a great show :)

[Jimfish]

oooh, better check it then.. i think you mentioned this a while back. they'll have at least one more listener this week thanks to you..


dont think i didnt see that secret edit button!

[MARKEG]

check it out and then let me know hehehhehehe ;)

[dan the acid man]

oooh, it sounds good, i would have never thought of listening to radio 3

[Patrick DSP]

I FOUND IT!!!


how could i be so blind. what inspires me is what i listen to every night before i go to bed!!!

old radio dramas from the 1930's 40's and 50's.

stuff like dragnet, night beat, the great gildersleave, life of luigi, the shadow, the 3rd man, all those great great shows.

i think my collection has grown to over 500 hours of these shows. i'm very addicted!!!


oh yeah brian eno, flood and old beatles records for production value.

[dirty_bass]

Flood, now that is one seriously talented producer

[dan the acid man]

you still cant beat the revolver album by the beatles :love:

[The Overfiend]

Anything Rick Rubin has that shit turned to gold sound to it as well.

TRUE ****ING THAT

[Evil G]

another trip down memory lane that has me thinking:

yaz - upstairs at eric's - 1980

a very odd mix, from cheeze to really twisted, all electronic, at a time when digital watches were still a novelty.

Hi Everyone,

Last month I went to see the Indian "national treasure" Zakir Hussein at a big f off symphonic hall here in Portland - - friends took me, I wasn't doing anything that night, yada yada yada. Had no idea what to expect.

Now I know why the Indians call him a national treasure, no need for quotes. Hussein is a tabla player, so you might be forgiven for thinking, "and?" But if you saw this man sit down and play (by himself and with others) your jaw would have to be soldered back onto your melon. I have never heard or seen anything like it. the level of complexity in the time signatures and the utter command he has over two simple drums was astounding.

I bring this up because the whole time he was playing there was an intensity equal to what one would feel right in the middle of a lucid club set at a venue with perfect sound. I mean, great "time" is great time whether its mixing or some geez wailing away on a tin bucket! If you happen across some of his recordings you might want to check it out, esp. you producers.

Rave on, tabla freaks.

Is he the same guy that asks the crowd to name a sound and he'll mimic it on his tabla? If so, I’ve heard his work. It is truly remarkable.

[Kangxi]

He did not do that at the show that I saw, but I'd wager he could make his tablas sound like anything he wanted them to be - - a right Korg Triton they were! Chirps, pops, thwacks, moans, basslines, what ever...

Back to the main topic of inspiration, I should note that this guy has undoubtedly been "woodshedding" in the practice room for the better part of the day since he was a child. We should all take a page from that book and work on our music with that type of determination - - I'm sure the results will reflect the effort
