>"I'm honestly not that interested in records anymore. The concept of what a studio album is seems outdated. For instance, if I create a track on my laptop while on a train, does that qualify as a studio album? No one would know it was made there. If I use my laptop on stage, does that still count as a studio record? It’s different because there’s an audience. But if I’m in the studio with friends while making a hip-hop album, is that an audience too? These terms become confusing."
>>131298714the autechre guys are so hot
>>131298714Still not spending money on your bullshit live recordings. Make an actual product or piss off.
>>131298714whys he retarded?
>>131298714fun fact: words actually do have meanings. "i mean, when you think about it, who's to say an apple isn't really a banana??"
>confused by albums likely he's just too stupid to make one then
>>131298725Yeah.
>>131298742Skill issue.>>131298980Learn to write.>>131299071>>131299082Work on your reading comprehension.
they'll grow out of it and make a banger album again or maybe one of those collection-of-50-short-tunes kinda things
>>131299128>Work on your reading comprehension.he thinks making a single track on his laptop on the train could qualify as a "studio album"
>>131298714
>>131298714it's kind of stupid that he's obviously missing the point, it's not about "going into the studio" with a bunch of session musicians and some guy at the switchboard and another in the corner cutting fat lines, it's about an album in the sense of a 50-80 minutes thing consisting of several separate tracks with their own internal flow and structure as opposed to a full on one hour audio assault with no breaks clearly designed to impress people who hear it loud on a big system first and foremostI mean if that's what they want to make I'm all for it but "teehee what if I make a studio album but actually my studio is a laptop in another room" is clearly a stupid response (or maybe he was just taking the piss)
>>131299161He means that people are too fixated to the idea of a "studio" album. It's an outdated term. It came from the old days where you had to rent or build your own studio (if you were rich enough) to record an album. Today you can create a whole album wherever you want.Today, "Studio album" is just a term used by labels to promote something that isn't a minor release, like an EP or a single, and even those are outdated terms these days.
>>131298714is this the famous john autechre?
>>131299247not op but, I think he obviously can use the history and formats to deduce what recordings count as which, but considering the nature of autechre's newish generative process it makes sense that the lines get blurred.A studio album is recorded in a studio, then DAWs come around and now they can be recorded at home. He's got a sick template setup to improvise tracks that he uses in both DAW situations and live situations. Either could contain an audience, I guess, so at that point it is just a fun thing to note that the similarities between both cases have gotten to the point where you may as well just ignore the standards.
>>131299332it's not about whether or not there's an audience it's just that people miss the more self-contained tracks that say what they have to say in a couple (or a lot) of minutes that are not just one hour of constant twitchy percussion/beat crossoverit was never about "the studio" in electronic music, it was always just kids in their bedrooms or rich kids in their "studios" which is just a room full of electronic gear, it was always (at least until daws) about preparing some loops on various machines and then jamming those out live, an 808 + 303 in a hotel room is just as far away from a studio as Sean's laptop but you never heard people making this kind of argument back then because it's not the point
>>131299433 me again>what's the difference between a recording made in a room with an audience and a recording made in a room with no audience? (https://web.archive.org/web/20240521145809/https://post.lurk.org/@sean_ae/112455609962684767)Sean seems hung up on this, IMO it's pretty easy to see that the difference is that when you perform in front of an audience you got one take right there, of course you can prepare however much you want but after that you know that what you perform then and there is gonna be it (or you throw it away). With a "studio album" track you can do however many takes you want and iterate on the automated/sequenced parts until you're satisfied, do multiple takes and splice them, record separate stems or re-process them etc... it's a pretty clear difference in workflow and also usually in terms of end-result for better or worse. If they just want to do this specific workflow with a huge generative system and one take (well, 20 takes spread out over different shows) that's totally fine but it's weird to me to pretend you don't even understand the difference.maybe Sean can chime in he lurks here right
>>131299433>it was never about "the studio" in electronic music>but you never heard people making this kind of argument back thenright, because despite the process being different from a band in a recording studio, electronic artists still conformed the existing system. Recorded at home = studio album, performed for a crowd = live.His quote:>It’s different because there’s an audience. But if I’m in the studio with friends while making a hip-hop album, is that an audience too?Your quote:>it's not about whether or not there's an audienceIdk what you're talking about but I'm talking about specifically what Sean said
>>131298714that's some of the most midwit and unoriginal stuff i've ever read in my life>bro all your music is shit since confield>you don't get it, i'm tired of the concept of an album
