xxpost I know a handful of local producers who do this - it's very common and good money. Wouldn't be surprised if that's how a lot of ex-popular musicians get their beer money.

i encounter loads of people that say they do this, but in reality they sit around smoking spliffs and maybe do a job or two a year for like an iphone game that never gets released. and there are libraries and companies that specialise in this stuff now.

That's probably what I'd be doing too if I was a washed up bedroom producer. Sounds great.

one prominent example would be photek - that's basically what he was doing from 2000 to 2010
another two i know about by name are neil landstrumm, who did sound for playstation games iirc, and gold chains, who basically quit recording to do sound design for mtv promo spots

that face is great. and it sounds otherworldly.
the live face recognition / remapping thing also fantastic.
but i still voted ae.

Is it just me, or is "Clipper" (and I guess other bits of "Tri Repetae") the closes Autechre came to sounding a lot like Aphex, or at least not dissimilar?
Not to me. I always thought that Amber was their most Aphexy album.

In fact, I still think that "Nil" sounds an awful lot like "Schottkey 7th Path."
