Original Message 1/22 10-Oct-01 @ 10:01 PM - my first online track!
It's a section from a track I did for a film called Brush, which isn't out yet. It's missing the first 3 and last 5 minutes do to file size issue. I was gonna put the full length hi-fi version at mp3.com and advertise here to piss off influx, but I don't like the feel of that site. It remnds of a credit card company. Anyway, enjoy and your comments are appreciated.--noah

sorry but this just sounds way too much like them. But on the other hand that means youre spot on! maybe you should try one of those labels?
I dig the fills, tho. something those guys dont seem to bother with

Love the beats man.... like the different samples you use inbetween the breaks, yup trippy stuff = good!
Message 6/22 10-Oct-01 @ 11:35 PM - RE: my first online track!
one last thing--how does this sound at lo fi? I can only hear it on some crappy little computer speakers, and I'm wondering if there's some eq tips I should know about encoding mp3's and such, for future posts. thanks fellas.--noah

only negative comment iīd have for you, is that itīs rather unoriginal- the beats sounds exactly like new forms. otherwise, well executed, i like all the different bits that come and go.
ahhh... thereīs a half speed break, nice. well done. like it better than dnb part.
what can i say, iīm dissing you for doing a good but somewhat unoriginal track (its way too much like roni size for me). on the other hand, i dont know if i have accomplished even that much thus far. m.

I know you said you see that as a compliment, but...influence is one thing, and imitation another.

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!

then again, every time i hear one of these tracks it's from some one looknig to make a living in the commercial music market.
i was scared to death i'd just downloaded one such track. however, the dispersion of ideas as the track progressed (like the scat at the end wondering how far you've wandered) and fresh tumults of sounds was nice good luck with it!

Sorry to be dumb, kilo, but I'm not sure what you mean. I can link to a track posted on another server here? To be honest, it's not even clear to me where this song is right now. On a server hard drive at your place? As far as I know, we encoded this track at the lowest resolution possible. Feel free to address these questions in a private email if they're really silly. I'm embarassingly naive about most computer stuff. Thanks for the kind words, as well. I'm glad that you don't think I'm "polishing turds"
I've got a bunch of other, rather different-sounding, tracks to post as soon as I can track down the ever-mysterious DJ Inkognito again. But one of them, man, if you thought this one was derivative... Thanks again.

like I said..its well done no matter what
I have energy?

thanks influx. I'll get the full track up somehow and you'll be better able to hear the "filminess" of it. your tunes are real tight, and you're a consistently critical cat too, so I really apprectiate your endorsement. And of course you have energy! Haven't you read your own posts about trance music and links to mp3.com?
Allright fellas. The next track I post will feature me singing about how much I love my girlfriend through my virus vocoder. This will dispell the embryonic myth that the knowa is but a mere Roni Size imitator. I can do Jimi Tenor too --noah

yeah well, i also missed the "made to order" bit, that does change the situation drasticaly as iīve done some unoriginal stuff for the visuals myself, as have many others for that matter. wanna hear my take on Coldcutīs Timber? or some dīnīb with full blown string arrangement over the top?
as long as it pays the bills, its fair game...

now, SCIENCE, at the Pink in santa monica...
at its heyday, that place was the SHIT. god I remember going there in about 95 right when I found out what this shit was..and just..leaving that place drenched in sweat, higher than I could ever possibly be off drugs. Days when roker and Jun would spin the most mindbending breaks and bass. before everything went to 185 and straight boom-bap
someone once told me that you flat out know youre getting old when you start talking about the "good ol days" as if the present isnt good enough.
(influx raising his hand tentatively)
oh, and I HAVE ENERGY!!! WOOHOO!!!

Still, I think that musicians should be principally concerned with making good music, and that if you really love Muddy Waters, Stevie Wonder, or Roni Size, just go ahead and make what you like to hear. If your influences are obvious, so what? If I heard a wicked young blues guitarist playing stolen Buddy Guy riffs, I would hesitate to declare him a genius, but it wouldn't stop me from making those ugly faces when he bent those notes and vibrato'd just right. I'm thinking now of how some, foolish, foolish people dismissed Omni Trio's "Haunted Science" as 'boring' because it did not follow the new trend towards sicko basses, still used the 808 subs, JV1080, and familiar drum sounds. In some ways, that album was not particularly new or "cutting edge". It is, however (imo) one of the finest collections of songs ever. If you're just listening for innovation, I think you can miss out on the important subtleties that distinguish that record from a million, truly boring releases on Good Looking. If Roni Size reclaimed his sanity (Lucky Pressure???? Huey Louis and the New School Breaks?) and made another record that sounded a lot like New Forms, but was equally as dope, I would still love it. I have to say though, the majority of jazz and blues players who mimic the old bebop and Chicago stuff are really annoying about it, for some reason. Anyway, originality is an important virtue and certainly a personal goal.
influx--parallel experience on the east coast. thanks to Odi and DB, jungle hit new york around 93/94. When I first heard Dred Bass, I asked my friend if it was real music I just could not believe my ears. that backwards bass had me walking around high school mouthing "whu whu, whu, whu-whu-whu-whu, whuw, whuuu whuuu whuuuu" . That John B record with the Slayer (I think) sample ("huh!, war!") says it all. Funny, in stupid trendy New York, you can hear 16 year olds talking about "the good old days" as dissasatfaction with the present is valued as an indicating that you were "there" before all the kids from Queens and Jersey knew about it. Maybe I'm just salty cuz I'm from Jersey. but, whoo doggie!, those really WERE the days! and the first wave of arty, whiter stuff too."Understand" by Tango? Forget about it. That breakdown almost gave me a heart attack.--original knuttah
