How old are you and where are you from?

48 orbits around the sun. Grew up within the M25 Essex/London area and lived through the 2nd Summer of L :relaxed: ve, now living in rural East Anglia, Norfolk. I :heart: Acid - but not “aving it” 150bpm stuff anymore which I used to make, these days I prefer 90-130bpm acid, I also like ambient, techno but never tekno, drone in its many forms, synthwave, new wave, old wave, chip tune, electro, avante garde, experimental electronics. I like listening to a wide range of stuff but most modern popular music does nothing for me.

45 years young (at least I’d like to think so… :zonked: ). Mostly grew up in Northern California (SF Bay Area), but moved around to many cities, states, and countries :airplane: over the last 8 years. As of last month, finally settled down in beautiful L.A. :palm_tree: with my partner and :cat2:. I sold almost all the gear I’ve acquired over the last 3 years and bought an AK, OT, RYTM, and just yesterday a Heat! My studio is complete. NO more GAS!! Yes, I’ve become an Elektreon fanboy :3lektron: … errr… fanman. :smile_cat: Anyway… my favorite album of 2017 is Shed’s “The Final Experiment”!! :musical_keyboard:

Never ‘Tekno’?
Oh mate…


Funny, I always felt the ‘k’ helped it all work…!

Special K! Actually that Adamski track is ok, by Tekno I mean stuff like this:

It always just reminds me of the MC-303 and too fast for its own good, for people who can’t dance but don’t know it :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: haha, I guess for me 4 to the floor above about 140bpm just sounds a bit comical, like it should be in a cartoon.

How do you like the shared system, I have been eyeing that for months now. I want to make some drone sounds with it but based on the videos I found that it is lacking on that department… how do you like it?

40, Salt Lake City. I’m bettting that you could make awesome drones with a shared system… if it’s anything remotely like the 0-coast.

Now I am into playing Live-Sets with hardware only. Center-piece being the Octatrack.

31 from Portland, Maine.

I’ll mostly go with what currently inspires me, but before I got into making electronic music (beyond messing around with Fruity Loops and other software), Syd Barrett was my biggest influence.

Currently I’m listening to BADBADNOTGOOD. Been digging these guys a lot this year, and getting more into the hip-hop tinged jazzy stuff. Taylor Mcferrin has been another favorite along those lines.

Animal Collective inspires me all the time and has been my favorite band for many years. Deerhunter and Liars are other favorites I got into around the same time, ten or so years ago.

I’m definitely influenced by Depeche Mode and Tears for Fears, thanks to my dad. :smiley:

Some other influences include Lapalux, Do Make Say Think, James Blake, DADRAS, and my friends’ band Peach Hat.

I saw a lot of great live music this summer and my favorite performance was Bonobo.

Anyway, I’m here because of Autechre.
