For long time I've been really into ambient and electronic styles of music. I've been listening to a lot of Chris Clark recently and came across this track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdOb3jA8tgE called "Herr Bar"
Chris plays a lot of his drum tracks and then chops them up and uses all sorts of techniques to "glitch them up" as my friend likes to say, his reason for doing so according to people I've talked is to create a sense of ambiguity and distance and speaking as a listener for the first time it really made me wonder whether it was human or programmed.
This track got me wondering as I've not really seen much discussion of this side of drums and percussion on the DW Forum, so! Just a few questions:
- What are your opinions on this method? It's uses, implications and place within in drumming and it's importance.
- What is your experience with this doing this yourself and how did you go about it? and have you ever emulated this kind of 'angular' style live and what did it do for you as a player?
- And finally can anyone recommend or point me in the direction of more artists who do this sort of thing?
Personally I find this really interesting! And would make for an interesting challenge if you were to try and get a similar feel live.
Hope everyone's well,
Kev
