@agcook remixes @dannylharle

Harle: What do you think Me4U is about?

Cook: It’s obviously about two people becoming one - love, dedication, amalgamation etc. Though I also can’t help noticing how obsessed you are with both the word ‘you’ and the sound ‘ooh’ in general. It’s all over most of your tracks, and it's used very carefully in Supernatural - but Me4U gets completely obsessive! Maybe that fits the narrative, all about ‘you’.

•

Harle: What is the future of television?

Cook: Teletubbies but with a much, much larger cast.

•

Harle: What is your criteria for something to be interesting or important?

Cook: Interesting and important are very different things to me! I find almost everything genuinely interesting, and I feel like relatively few things are actually important.

•

Harle: Does your remix contain elements inspired by any third party recordings?

Cook: Yeah tons! I feel like most of my music is quite referential, but especially remixes. There are a couple of very short noodle-y moments in my version that are intended to sound a bit like you (!) The main chords are a very “A. G.” interpretation of Me4U, but I thought it would be funny to actually (finally?) put a drop after the build, even if it’s a weird one :P Then most of the track avoids the UK Garage vibe of the original, until the very end when I fully give in to Artful Dodger. I also feel like that whole section is a bit old skool Dux Content, maybe even Dux Kidz. Dux for a post-Clean Bandit reality.

Remix by Finn Keane

Cook: I don't think either of us have a strict 'process' when it comes to working on music,  but do you remember any key decisions that influenced the direction of this remix?

EASYFUN: Only that I thought it would be fun to try and make a drop that doesn't start on the downbeat.

•

Cook: Is Stravinsky the best composer of all time?

EASYFUN: That's a leading question. Yes Alex, I like his music but sadly he didn't write any pop and that's my favourite kind of music. I'm sure if he had it would have been great.

•

Cook: How do you feel about Spotify?

EASYFUN: Love it. Particularly New Music Friday, helps me stay on top of things and hear tomorrow's hits before anyone else.

•

Cook : What's ur fave Janet song and why?

EASYFUN: 'Love Will Never Do (Without You)' from Rhythm Nation. I really like how the final chorus loops weirdly.

•

Cook: What's ur fave Jam & Lewis production and why?

EASYFUN: I think it has to be 'If It Isn't Love' by New Edition. My gateway one!

Cook: What language are you using?

Data: I'm using TidalCycles (or Tidal), which is sending pattern messages to SuperCollider, which in turn is synthesising the patterns and outputting eight stereo channels to Logic Pro. Tidal is my go to as the syntax is super concise - you can fit a 'track' on one screen of code!
 
•

Cook: What are some of the practical problems that happen with live coding?

Data: Because code is just text, most of the time you don't know what's going on. You're constantly making mistakes so you're constantly discovering things. Software updates can change what your old code does - for example this mix features a lot of chromatic runs due to a pattern parsing bug. It's a great set of problems to have, in musical terms.

• 

Cook: What are some of the conceptual problems that happen with live coding?

Data: The big one for me is - is it really so different to any other form of music making, or not? Over time I've come to see similarities more than differences, but some people see it as a completely orthogonal process to all other forms of composition or performance. It's a great problem as a setting for humanist drama ;~P

•
 
Cook: How effective is Big Data?

Data: By now it's pretty obvious that Big Data aggregates and re-projects our common biases onto us in rigid, standardised formats, whilst Lil Data is about curating and amplifying imperfections that have meaning and positivity.

•
 
Cook: Where & why did you grow up?

Data: I grew up in a shrinking old market town in the outskirts of Manchester which is only known for it's serial killers, and that is why I grew up.

•
 
Cook: A couple of months ago you uploaded a video of what appears to be a fairly advanced dildo interacting with some ROLI BLOCKS hardware. Is that the future of music?

Data: It's a MysteryVibe Crescendo. I won it at a sex hackathon and wanted to know if I could use it to make musical robots, but unfortunately it's not self-articulating and doesn't have an API! It's certainly a valid future, although I think there's plenty more interesting ones out there ;)

DLH: 
OK so this remix is complete nonsense, what are you even trying to do?

felicita: 
To quote something you said in a recent interview, which I liked and agree with: ‘the way in which music is performed is largely uninteresting, just as long as it SOUNDS amazing...’ 

I decided at the outset of felicita that I would only do remixes if they were very occasional, for ‘big’ or ‘mainstream’ artists, and then only if I could take them wherever I feel like.

DLH: 
Why does your music never settle into a regular rhythm or anything? I can’t follow it.

felicita: 
I’m gonna answer this question with a series of questions: 

Why is your music so painfully generic? 

Is it born of a blinkered and pre-failed attempt at a kind of ‘cultural universalism’, which you pursue through your patrician notion of ‘Pop’ music?

Do you regard difference and formal invention as anathema to ‘the mainstream’, which you pledge allegiance to, albeit to an outdated version, which you are desperately trying to force back to life, like trying to administer CPR to a 3310, in the hope that your music actually becomes ‘Pop’ music, though you know it never will, cannot be, because no-one listens to or cares about N Sync anymore?

DLH: 
My five year old niece could your make music tbh?

felicita:
I’d like to see him try. 

DLH:
Do you feel guilty about anything and do you ever harbour secrets?

felicita:
Both, all the time. Secrets are Sexy. 

DLH: 
Why are you signed to PC Music ?

felicita:
Good question. Because I believe in Pop music.. 

DLH:  
Do you like stand-up comedy? Because your music is a joke.

felicita: 
I don’t need stand-up comedy.....people are funny enough already.  

DLH: 
Do you like Miley Cyrus single ‘Malibu’? What would you say to her about it?

felicita: 
Three thousand ninety Li farther southeast, then northeast, stands Departing Doves Mountain. 

On its heights are many mulberry trees.

There is a bird dwelling here whose form resembles a crow, with a patterned head, white beak, and red feet.

It is called Jingwei and makes a sound like its name.

Jingwei was once a human named Nüwa.

Nüwa was swimming in the Eastern Sea when she was unable to return to shore and drowned. 

She transformed into the Spirit-Guardian Jingwei.

 All day she collects twigs and stones from the Western Mountains, and carries them in her beak, to fill up the Eastern Sea. 

The Zhang River emanates from here and flows eastward into the Yellow River.

@lil-data IM chat with Alex McLean - https://slab.org/about

data: Hi Alex McLean aka yaxu, creator of TidalCycles! What are you up to?

yaxu: I'm on the way home to the Socialist Republic after a weekend in a small dark room with a lot of speakers in Deptford listening to algorithmic patterns with some new friends. How are you doing?

data: I’m doing really good! I’m glad I can finally ask you things. Like, how much live code have you live coded?

yaxu: Quite a lot but I can't remember very much of it and didn't save much so it doesn't matter. I just found this in my editor though which is proof that I have live coded something:

```@tidal
d1 $ stack [off "<0.25 0.125>" (# (speed 2 # crush (slow 16 $ scale 2 16 saw))) $ someCycles (off 0.25 ((|*| up "12 0") . struct "x(5,8)" . (# sound "supermandolin"))) $ jux rev $ sometimes (|+| n 12)
            $ off 0.25 ((|+| n 7) . (# (s "superpiano" # gain 0.8))) $ chunk 4 ((|+| n 12) . (fast 2)) $ n "c3(3,8)" # sound "supermandolin"
            # shape 0.6
            # bpf (scale 300 1200 rand)
            # bpq 10
            # legato (scale 2 8 sine)
            # gain 1.3
            |+| n ("<c e f g>" + "[c g]/8")
            |*| gain 0.9
            # room 0.4
           ]
```

data: How much have animals influenced your music and your software? You have a cat right?

yaxu: Yes actually I have two cats, Douglas and Stanley, they tell me what to do but don't really get involved in my code. I did once live code for a cat but it was already asleep.

I guess cats do have a lot of important procedures though and procedures are the basis of software engineering. I think live coding is not much to do with software engineering any more though.

data: How did Tidal come about?

yaxu: I wanted to free improvise with a percussionist friend and it was too slow to respond to him in existing scripting languages, I had to type in too much code to make each change. I got interested in how Bernard Bel was notating tabla rhythms and started experimenting with making a live coding language based on cyclic pattern. After a lot of performances with half-written software that eventually became Tidal, which is now mostly written and I can now make a change in a few seconds. Not as fast as a percussionist but it's OK.

data: Would you rather make closed source software or be immortal? Those are the two things I think you might hate the most.

yaxu: I'd like to try out being immortal for a short while. I make closed source software all the time I just keep it to myself.

data: Two shocking answers.
