new Orb perspective: sound waves/5.1 mixes/Kris and the newbies
by Alan 03 Jan '03

03 Jan '03

Sound waves: I remember seeing a car muffler using phase cancellation principles. It looked like a big can at the bumper of the car and as far as the engine was concerned it was a straight pipe (so more power, less weight, etc.). As the exhaust entered the chamber its sound was fired back at it from a speaker facing the port resulting in a completely silent car. I doubt it'll get installed on any before we've converted to hydrogen fuel cells (or should I say I HOPE). I would guess that going back and remastering the early Orb would pretty much be impossible as Kris intimated that a great deal of the mixing was done on the fly. I think all groups should begin using 5.1 starting yesterday but to retrofit stereo recordings to 5.1 isn't a good idea. Artists use surround in concert but I don't know anyone with a 5.1 microphone or portable recording device. What is my point? Good question. What I can't figure is why the record companies haven't started re-issuing old quadrophonic records (like Quadraphenia) as 5.1 recordings. Talk about made for surround! Lastly, that whole thing with Kris and the newbie was just too great. Welcome to the fold, you nob. : ) www.psychicreform.com Who let that monkey in here!?! Dada is dead. Watch your overcoat.

"My name is Kris Weston Formerly of escapist band the orb I have contacted your isp And will sue for the maximum penalty This kind of copying is killing music You will be hearing from my solicitor.. K.Weston" Looks like we have a new scandal here in Orb world! Here's my 2 cents: If the technology we have now is indeed unearthing the music industry as we know it, then it's time. God forbid we knock talents like Pink and J-Lo on their asses. It may take - heaven forbid - TALENT to survive in our internet age! Acts like the Orb have a rigid fan base because their product, to quote The Tribe, "is dope." LX doesn't need to insure his ass for two billion dollars - it's his music that counts. And I'm willing to bet that people like him - those with real vision and ability - will rise to the top, and probably would do it without financial reward, if necessary. I paraphrase Matisse when I say that all an artist needs is ENOUGH money, and THAT, even today, ain't much. Sorry if the industry goes down in flames, but I have to sit and wonder what the future of music might be like with the borders exploded. Call me optimistic, but art loves a crisis. Hang on to your wallets, boys and girls, and keep your ear to the ground! - dan _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8 is here: Try it free* for 2 months http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/dialup

And as for so-called "Mr. Weston"

And by the way, even if you are the real Kris Weston: You may have made some great music in the past, but that doesn't mean you're not an asshole. I mean, come on - picking on somebody who was just trying to share music and make friends! I'll listen to your CDs, but you still suck as a person. Excuse me, but I have to get back to my life now. -dan _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus
