>He is quiting music to write computer programs to make music - You know, when RDJ says this crap, what the hell is he talking about? Does he mean he's going to learn SuperCollider really well, or does he write his own compiled code in C or other 'real' language? does he just play with MixMan? Kinda seems to me that a guy who tells you he makes synths out of two sticks and a dog turd would be the same kinda guy who'd says he was 'PROGRAMMING' when he was actually importing porn jpgs into MetaSynth and calling the output the product of his ingenious Artificially Intelligent software... Hed start claiming how in 2001 his creation would become self-aware and demanding he download more smut in order to create a new album. I really didnt feel like participating in yet another Aphex thread but Im curious, ok admittedly on a nerd-level as to his true sophistication in actually programming a computer. To me it sounds like another bluffy-gimmick. but honestly tho, if it sounds good I really dont care - Im merely curious about this. dammit why did I write this :( ernie Ernesto Ikerd, (817) 763-4795 Company Graphics, Dept 17, MZ-1156 Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircraft Systems Fort Worth, Texas
