Dub Techno.
Yep, for me whole sub genre feels like one technique.
Anyway I love and hate Dub Techno.
Power electronicsā¦ something which I can occasionally derive some peverse enjoyment out of but really is for the most part a load of pretentious, distorted bollocks.
Autogenerated drone music. I could enjoy it as an intro for 15-30 seconds, but people are posting 10-15 minute long clips of this kind of music all over YouTube. I really donāt get it.
I think most of the music I like certainly has a strong pretentious aspect to it and for some it works well and for others not so much.
This one is easy to explain - youāre not taking the right substances
Thereās a lot of pretentious bollocks in the noise/power electronics scenes. Thereās also some really good/clever/powerful shit. I think thereās a novelty value to it for a lot of people, so the acts that appeal to that novelty aspect tend to rise to the top.
FYI BDN are death industrial, not power electronics.
Aside from hot knobbing, atm I canāt think of a technique that would meh me out as such, but rather the way some are being applied.
In the end theyāre just that, techniques, and Iām far from convinced that any of those couldnāt be applied in a way that would be incredibly cool and creative.
I use that as a broad term which hopefully gets the point across. I donāt see any real difference in the type of noises that arise from that subgenre.
Yeah well, makes sense you donāt know much about it since you obviously donāt like it one bit.
I do enjoy some if it. I find that the problem with this type of thing is that it gets old really quickly. Like a slasher movie that has gore all the way through, you just get numb to it and then it has no effect.
Yeah, I barely managed to maintain an erection at all through Terrifier 2.

Just the way it should be.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
Canāt imagine itāll be long before itās flagged.
You mean flagellated really.
Is that one of those techniques that everyone loves ?
I think Microcosm is great for adding background noiseā¦ i usually put it as a send effect and have specific voices run through it, making little washes in the backgroundā¦ having it up front and center is fatiguing after a while.
do you have a link to that clip would be cool to see it.
Ever the problem with new kit, I donāt have a huge garage/walk in closet to dump my gear so I need most everything to be āfront and centerā
@Phillip, @MichaalHell, The clip I saw/heard was on Hologramās instagram. I donāt think itās terribly important though. It was just a sample of person saying āone two three fourā getting twisted around by the Microcosm. Very simple stuff and not any super impressive result in and of itself. Hereās something much more interesting and itās by our own @GiantSuperCell
Itās probably my fault for not digging deep enough on YouTube but I usually only hear Microcosm used for straight up ambient music which is not my cup of tea. The times I have heard it with simple rhythmic material it seemed it was overused and just made a mess. Of course thereās no way I can remember every Microcosm moment Iāve seen/heard on the youtube but this feels like the first time Iāve heard it used in something with drums where the beat was allowed to proceed in a straightforward manner but still have a cool glitchy modern dub type of feel. The silly little clip from Hologramās insta sounds like something Iād already be doing and GSCās song sounds like something Iād like to aspire to. I would ask for more Microcosm links along the lines of the above song but I believe Iām preparing for NGNY2023 so please refrain!
