Original Message 1/7 24-Apr-01 @ 12:52 AM - electro/IDM drum patterns
- Okay, so how do I make them? I keep trying and trying, but everything I sequence comes out all wrong. I realize electro and IDM aren't quite the same thing, and the idea is sort of that they are a little random, but I like both and am having trouble with both. So if you have any general sets of guidelines to go by when making these patterns, if I should use swing, any sample patterns to use as templates, I would be very appriciative.

well give us some track/artist examples cos it's a huge genre.

I guess aphex twin, anything on rephlex really, autechre, squarepusher, kid 606, also stuff like boards of canada and mouse on mars, their patterns are usually pretty simple though.

Why don't they just call the genre 'Warp' because after all warp records is idm. The definition of the genre is huge but the artists in the genre itself is small.
There are no rules to idm and hardly any of the tracks sound like they follow a common rule. Item, the beat's in autechre's flutter from the anti ep does not sound like any other beat from anything else that is considered idm, nothing.
Idm is pretty much the miscellenous genre that is continually being redefined by the artist's who created it.

Well, the stuff I'm talking about, it's like braks, but very fast and more random, drill n' bassy rythyms, you know? The other style I'm looking for help on is the kid 606 style, which is usually done on a (surprise!) 606, the breaky electro kinda stuff.

yeah buts it's really impssible to say 'like this' cos the beats change so much within a track & per bar often & the beats themselves are what i'd call 'intuitive'.. you just need a good overall knowledge of beats and creativity with your programming and samples... and DONT try to COPY other people of course... but say a track like Squarepushers 'North Circular is drum & bass, triplets, 123,123,123,123,12,12...123,123,123,123,12,12 etc, same with 'Gong acid' even tho it might sound like it just square beat it aint... acid gong's intro sounds like it's based on a Ghanian beat to me (loosely), but then it's riddled with tempo changes etc... 'Freeeman Hardy & Willis acid' - ha ha ha Lol!!!... again 3 time... 123, 123, 12 - 123, 123, 12... whatever.. get with the triplets lad!!!
