Does the BBC treasure him? Does it understand the talent it has in its possession? "I don't really think so, no. They don't always say yes. If I say I want to do four hours about brutalism, they'll give me two. The last film we had to do in just 19 days. You can't do any fancy set-ups: no cranes, no dollies. It's not slavery, obviously, but it's much more difficult than it used to be. My subjects are regarded as minoritarian and that's a self-fulfilling prophecy. On BBC2, I used to get 2.5 million to 3 million viewers; now I get a tenth of that on BBC4."
- My Interview Questions for Potential Employers | Hacker News news.ycombinator.com
I don’t use time signatures. People have mentioned that I use weird ones, but it’s not true! The way I write does not use them at all, it completely side-steps the whole concept. I use combinations of loops that are different lengths. Usually the length of any given loop is a two-figure odd number: 23, 51, 79 or whatever. You start combining four or five of those and you can end up with pieces of music that are made up of short repeating elements but the sound as a whole never repeats exactly, even after 17 minutes.
In mid-December 2009 I set out to ask a few of my favorite record labels (including Ad Noiseam, Herb, Hidden Shoal, Highpoint Lowlife and n5MD) some general questions about their operation and uncovered responses that exceeded expectations. Find out some of the inner-workings of these imprints, how they view demo's, release material and relate to their roster of musical and visual talent.
"If there were fewer labels and releases everyone would be happier, but that's difficult to accomplish. I am hoping for a loud voice of reason talking to everybody: producers, labels, distributors, and shops. Like hey, "Think it over, think twice before you release a record." Maybe things can get better again. The main problem isn't that people download or don't buy records anymore, the main problem is that there's just too many releases."
- Line: Q&A :::Proper Songs::: propersongs.blogspot.com
What I'm tried to do is combine the things I love about electronic music, especially proper techno and electro, with... proper songs.
Digital had been seeping into our world for about three years and the Napster effect was apparent. Being a small company and working directly with artists, we could really hear and see what was starting to happen. It was a realization that fighting it wouldn’t work; understanding it and being able to grow it was what was going to work. It was a psychological shift for us.
