    I attempted to decipher the text at the beginning of the video and this is how far I got, there’s some mistakes here and there since I couldn’t figure out some stuff but point them out and let me know if you can.
    this track is called “collapse” by the way
    cos when the bass kicks in
    and the tempo starts slowing down
    It’s like a collapse of sorts :)
    I’m gathering visual references at the moment
    is there any other point cloud or any other references you’d like I should look
    nope dont think so.. I still love ascii visuals also.
    surprised it never got used more but maybe it has, I dont get out much.
    sure, I’ll look into doing 3d ascii point-cloud crossover
    maybe when you get up close to the point
    yeah I see your point with midi..
    but you would just edit tight to the beat anyhow can’t you?
    yeah I could,
    but with your kinda music it would take forever
    with midi files it would be instant and tight as fuck
    what places to include would be relevant in London?
    deffo the silver box be relevant and the Lantle?
    that I’ll be one of the focal points in the video, a bit like the monolith in 2011 collaged with the Cornish stuff
    nah, all crap
    how about sun on cafe next to clissold park, ha
    collage stuff, top yeah..
    and how quickly they add that woods stuff in that Star Wars thing… crazy realistic
    Maybe we should do something with political slant in this video,
    you know how media can manipulate things to make you think
    Oh been getting well into simulation theory of late..
    didn’t realise a lot of prominent science
    are now saying the chance we are living in a base reality is about 1 billion to one!
    love it..
    simulations in simulations in simulations
    for ever probably.. god is just an ai
    I don’t wanna accept it though, although I agree it’s feasible. I’d rather think
    that all these normal people who watch shit like "Britain's got talent" and such
    their proof of it's not a simulation (cos why would you bother simulating)
    or it's proof that we are living in a failed simulation lmao
    I can’t see why it would be a problem accepting, I quite like the idea.. ha
    I think thats what I hate the most about it,,
    is that it opens the gate for creationism interpretation…
    yeah well science is not much better, can't explain how life started,
    what was before big bang and loads of other stuff,
    just evolution and even that has gaping holes
    so was just chomping on a peanut butter toastie with swedish jam...
    thinking the idea that code i.e. us can imagine something is pretty wild
    code rewriting itself and investigating the future rewrites of itself
    This obviously applies to any act of imagination:
    imagining a future version of itself or imagining what effects the rewrite
    ing to have on you and then adjusting the imagination to give desired effects
    mhm, and what kind of jam was that? Sounds like it was fermented
    or something to give this inspirations
    and that tip, i've been well into into Almond butter and manuka honey lately
    anyway, was thinking if was all a sim,, the technology would be so advanced,
    it’s probably even beyond code, like many levels steps further analogue-d
    like some semi organic technology, like in Exitenz..

      I was born in 1980 and after all the music I've listened to without sticking to a specific genre.. I can say with confidence that Franz Liszt, Beethoven, Chopin, Rachmaninoff and Aphex Twin are the greatest composers of all time and that doesn't even take into account the hyper productivity. Even though the melodies (most of the time) are, of course, not on par with the classical composers.. his ingenious percussion inventions really tell a story and finishes the whole as a brilliant composition. Besides it is much harder in this time period to make anything sound original than it was 150ish years ago.. Aphex Twin is a living legend.

    As someone who loves AT, graphics, game development, tech demos and technical art - this is basically the coolest video I've ever seen in my life - its like my eyes are drinking it.

    • @felipepalmacastro

    • @stunthumb
      @stunthumb 5 років тому +22

      Yeah, it is fascinating stuff. These are all modern shader techniques coupled with better normal map and tesselation, and 3D scanning. My favorite and probably most relevant technique is tesselation... That's when they take a 3D model and high detail textures, and use the normal map and height map to tesselate the polygons... kinda like when a piece of glass shatters but stays intact... then all those extra vertices are extruded based on height - so you see those real smooth effects in real time with things pulsing and inflating and looking very organic. We see this used in games like Battlefield, to give the terrain that extra detail, but it's completely dynamic - it can be used to make some freaky shader effects. I develop in unreal engine as a hobby, probably spend most of the time just messing around with shader effects, it gets fascinating sometimes.

    • @YesIKnowSillyName

      any tips on how to get started on these things as a programmer?

    • @stunthumb
      @stunthumb 5 років тому +17

      Yeah, you can get stuck right into this stuff just by downloading Unreal Engine. The processes are all well documented, lots of videos and tutorials all over the place. I would suggest that you decide on something you want to try, and research it, watch videos etc. For example, the organic displacement effects would be done with tessellation, so if you do a YT search for 'unreal engine tessellation shader' you'll find step by step tutorials and all sorts. Remember, you can write a game in Unreal without touching a single line of code - it's all done with visual graphs called blueprints, like flowcharts really where the logic is organised as nodes and connections. It's probably the case that Unreal has a steeper learning curve than say, Unity - but it's free and documented and easily the top engine at the moment for the games people want to play right now (survival open world). You don't really need to be good with art either - tons of resources for textures and models - really the best trait for people using Unreal is neatness... blueprints and files can get untidy - if you have any sort of OCD then you might find it actually helps keep Unreal on track!

    Forget all the equipment, forget about the music, at the end of the day, it's just frequencies, sounds, vibrations with their effects on the brain.
    That's what everyone essentially is after hearing some sound."
    So if you hear a C-major chord with equal temperament, you've heard it a million times before and your brain accepts it.
    But if you hear a chord you've never heard before, you're like, "huh???????????."
    And your brain has to change to accept it.
    And once the ways of hearing have changed, then you have changed as a person, in a simple way.
    And if you have a combination of all these different frequencies, it starts rewiring your brain.
    And after you've changed as a person, you can go on and do something else.
    It is a constant change.
    It might sound quite spiritual and cosmic and hippie too, but that's exactly what's going on in the human mind. Aphex Twin

    I didn't expect the singularity would come about through the Windows 98 labyrinth screensaver spontaneously achieving self-awareness and undergoing an intelligence explosion, but who am I to argue with the evidence

    How does he keep doing this? Remaining on the bleeding edge of IDM and never feeling stale. He has more ideas crammed into one track than most artists can muster on a whole album!! Must Buy!

      Nick Herman he produced his last ep with a famously antiquated syth - so while he is a gearhead he restricts himself purposefully

      Chris Daniels I wouldn't say a multi timbral wavefolding synth is antiquated--I use similar techniques in my own studio and it's an extremely forward thinking design--it's more that the UI for the Cheetah seems to have been designed by crack monkeys.

      Chris Daniels also..he used a lot of other stuff, even though it was a fairly
      Minimal EP, I'm positive.

      @@NickHchaos How would "millions of dollars in gear and studios" help a guy whose music is produced mostly by a computer or electronic device? He's not a pop star that needs auto-tuning, hours of takes, and lovely analog gear to smooth over the rough edges. Deadmau5 has all that, but no one other than kids wearing Monster Energy t-shirts will remember him for making electronic music what it is.
