Hello,
I have done a search for this already and haven't got a clear answer. I'm getting heavily back into turn of the century IDM. Go Plastic by Squarepusher is blowing my mind...especially the track Greenways Trajectory. The music still sounds modern and from the future. How on earth would you do this sort of drum programming? What I've found online is that: *** The IDM(Aphex/Autechre/Sqpush) guys keep their technique secret and may even be lying about things to add mystery to what they do *** They have spent years developing their style. *** They may or may not write their own code for algorithm/software/plug ins I just want to know how you can develop these fantastic beats! |

Old school trackers are a good start to achieving that sound, You can meticulously sequence down to insane minutia. They're a little difficult to learn at first but there's a new one out there right now called Renoise and its awesome for making the crazy beats, you can sequence down to like fractions of a tick. Or get Livecut if you're lazy and don't really care about exactly banging out the beats in your head.
