shameful.
Pff. Miroku and I spent the first 15 minutes just talking, so I wasn't sure if we were even going to play any music.
Sorry I dipped out early, my Internet went haywire. By the time I fixed it I was just too tired.

One day, a friend of mine gave me a record she got for her birthday but didn't like. That record was Daft Punk's first album " Homework " .
I came home, and played the thing. It changed something in my brain and left me with an energy and an excitement I hadn't felt before.
So I played it again, and I've been playing it for the past 15 years. One week after that I stopped my Nirvana cover band to buy a computer and a sound card. I was 15 and that's how I got into electronic music.
Since that day, all my efforts went into trying to make a record that would make people feel the same way, that would make ME feel the same way.
Do Thomas and Guy-Man feel like that when they listen to their own records ? I hope so, if not they're missing out. Much like my other heroes Kraftwerk, they get perfection out of simplicity , which is the real challenge. They are like a magician ( no pun intended ) that reveals his tricks to you but still you stare at him without understanding. I've tried to crack the code, copy them, tried to sound like them until I realized it's not the way to go ( I couldn't anyway… ) and I had to try to come up with my own identity. There is something so special and specific about the way they sound.
All their records were influential, the artworks, the videos, let's not even talk about their live show which is the best thing dance music brought to us. How can you compete with that ? You can't. And you shouldn't. They've been criticized for the sampling ( even by me, I regret it ) but thing is I wouldn't have been able to come up with One More Time, which to me is the best example of how to use a sample to create something new.
Today a 16 second video got me shaking. Physically shaking. I can't wait. I missed them. They know how to push our buttons and how to create incredible buzz and expectations and always match it . Nile Rodgers on the guitar ? We've known that for a while but hearing it sound exactly like what you dreamt of is an incredible feeling.
Daft Punk is the reason why I want to stop making music. They are also the reason why I want to keep making music. It gives me the hope that one day I can hit that spot and make someone feel like I felt today and 15 years ago.
They are back. Thomas, Guy-Man thanks for everything, and even if we've never met I love you both.
hey, i've got some very basic/noobish questions that i can't quite answer for myself.
i'm putting together some demos and for the beats i'm using Finger Labs DM1 on my iphone (mostly because i can use it whenever and wherever and i like the touch-based interface). so then i'll take these beats and export them to iTunes as wavs and then drop them into Garageband on my macbook where i can record guitar or whatever over them.
my issue is that even when the DM1 project is the exact same BPM as the Garageband project they slowly fall out of sync... i can quantize (to like 1/16) the DM1 wav to fix it but that can fuck up a beat that's rather complex.
i just don't get where in the workflow this issue is originating from.
alternately, is there any cheap/decent OSX app for making beats? doing it all on my phone can be rather unwieldy.
Lost my ebay bid but then found a set of decks, a mixer, mats and some vinyl on gumtree and lowballled an offer of £50 and hes took it.... I only want it to play my records on not actually get into vinyl mixing! D:
Thats like saying I only want to try smoking crack cocaine a few times but not form a habit. Good luck!!
"Because it's fucking Daft Punk."
I'm loving how goofy the Space Dimension Controller is
