aside from vocalcity, the first uusitalo lp is one my favorites, but they are all very very good. anima too! and that one on chain reaction. and entain! it's been a long time since i've heard any of these.
has anyone heard the dolls? how about the sistol release?

Delay is consistently awesome whenever he sticks to 4/4 dancefloor tracks, otherwise, he tends to wibble away into tiresome chin-stroking zzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

Meh. I thought we already had a thread about the Dolls album, but I thought it was dull, dull, dull. I suppose I was most disappointed with Craig Armstrong's (non-)contribution. "Phoned-in" was the phrase I used last time.

new one 'Tummaa" is reminding me of, like, Carter Tutti or something. Spaced piano-centric tracks with weird noises.

i LOVE taking a nap to Whistleblower. i would go so far as to say that i hadn't really heard it until i drifted in and out of sleep to it. there is something so pleasurable and sleep-inducing about searching for patterns in the broken percussion and halting bass with the atmospheric ambient sound drifting all around. normally the broken rhythm would bother me, but something about the muffled quality and the way brief memories of songs sneak in and out makes it awesome. being familiar with his other stuff makes it even more evocative as the sounds are often very similar, so you can almost hear fragments of Luomo churned and melted into it.
i don't like Tummaa as much so far, it's darker, harsher, and more angular, whereas Whistleblower is more muted and distant.

Has anyone seen the Vladislav Delay Trio perform? I'm wondering what's that like, and if it's at all similar to the Moritz Von Oswald group.

Anima is RIDICULOUSLY good, so touchable and palpable and dewy and slithery, DNA sequences and slippery slides into beautiful little pools of splishing translucent gurgles. Cannot, will not, front on it.

i just started listening to anima and i adored it from the first second on. and i could not believe that luomo and delay are one. as i tried that luomo album vocalcity a couple of days ago and it didn't do anything for me. it was the usual annoying, repetitive electronic beat music of the zero years. but on anima there is a lot happening. it has got that cosmic feel. and it neither sounds like cold laptop music.

― wolves lacan, Friday, 2 September 2011 17:08 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, c'mon. vocalcity is obv repetitive music. so is anima for that matter. but they both reward close listening for largely the same reason - what may seem static at first reveals itself as something slowly mutating instead. they're both v. dense, detailed albums.

OTM... The slowly mutating character is a hallmark of his production, as is that damp, murky, incredibly detailed vibe. I want to use the dreaded "organic" here, but in a literal sense; his tracks sound like they're teeming with life. Alex, keep it up with Vocalcity; as the nuances reveal themselves (and this album rewards very LOUD listening, seriously) you'll start to see it as just the other side of the coin from Anima. There's such a clear sensibility and palette linking the two, the immediately recognizable strong voice of a true great.

Not much programming there. I visited his studio when he was recording it. He played most of it live using MIDI drum pads.

He's trained drummer? I assumed it was largely live instrumentation. Listening to Amina is like immersing yourself in someone else's dream, or something. The crash and then emotional vocal sample at the end is like being dramatically pulled out of this state. Does anyone know where the sample comes from?
That said I probably listening to Naima more often.

When I saw the Moritz von Oswald Trio last summer it was really fun to watch him on the "drum set." He certainly has a way with it.
― Bass Materialism (EDB), Tuesday, 6 September 2011 12:35 (twelve years ago) link
I guess you could call recording MIDI and editing it after as programming but in the traditional sense (creating MIDI notes in a piano roll editor or in a step sequencer) I would not call it programming. It's a grey area naturally. I just remember that one particular visit to the studio (early 2000?) and him playing the 'percussive' sounds on the drum pads to the music that was later released as Anima.
The sample in the end comes from some big hollywood movie... don't remember the name of the movie right now.

1. Finnish-born Sasu Ripatti of Vladislav Delay and Luomo has found an acoustically-wonderful, isolated environment on an island, an environment surrounded by trees and far from people. On the road, it’s just one laptop, one Korg nanoKEY, and an audio interface, to which he adds Faderfox MIDI controllers, small KAOSS pads, and effects pedals for live gigs.

The Rhythm and Sound remix rules. It's one of the better remixes on that album.
Anima is one of my favorite VD releases. The sample from Eyes Wide Shut sent me into bliss on my first listen. I love the wandering shapelessness. Several summers ago, after working on music in the studio until 4am, my phone happened to play the title track on random as my friend and I shared a joint in the car. He had never heard it, and we sat and listened to the entire piece. It's always nice when your musical passenger says, "no, don't change it."

it’s super architectural, it makes me think of a constantly changing 3D rendering of a skyscraper or something.. like the best of ripatti’s stuff it has that feel of gods playing dice games/Jenga with large astronomical objects
