I cannot stress enough how much I love music of Mark Hollis and Talk Talk. It’s been my greatest inspiration ever. When I discovered them I thought I may just stop producing as Talk Talk had everything I needed. However, I am still here and today I accidentally recorded something I think might show you how I feel about Talk Talk. Or maybe not. I never wanted to touch their music as not to ruin it. Well, this evening, I was improvising and playing around live and somehow ended up bringing in the sounds of Talk Talk. Euphoria for 20 minutes.

Hear the results:

I started working on the idea of a social sampler (read about it here)… Learning Max/MSP/Jitter/m4l is really exciting and rewarding – I can’t wait to integrate it into my live sets. In the meantime, check this video which documents what I’ve already achieved (not that much but anyway):

remember this?

well, I have just mixed it in 5.1 surround…

My goal was to adapt ‘No Space’ to a different listening environment without drastically changing anything. If you have a surround setup grab this file and immerse yourelf in the soundscape.
