I am such a low information voter: I have been listening to APtBS for 15 years, a buddy of mine used to be their tour manager and would tell me that one of the guys in the band "does really stuff with electronics". I have been specifically obsessed with their guitar tone. I also own the Death by Audio Evil Filter and it's one of my favorite pieces of kit. Until today, I didn't know these two things had anything to do with each other. This rules.
I want to hear what would happen if you left Oliver and Ian Williams (Battles, Storm and Stress) in a studio for a few weeks. Or shit just chatting over coffee
Well it's not new for audio world. Roland MC-505 was basically a music album made as a hardware grovebox. But the idea is perfect and something like that should be done more often.
@@Ancaja123 it was news to me too but then i've read 505 manual... it's huge and have full list of authors of the music with some bio page on everyone... so basically it was the music album made in hardware form (a lot of Japanese composers there included the one who worked on Sonic games). In fact many of old grooveboxes is basically a music album (Korg EM\EMX series comes to mind too, i can listen to them all day).
@@djkanyon You're describing demo tracks like they've had on synths and organs for very long. Difference with those demos and groove boxes, is that the samples, playback, effects, etc are all way more tweak and editable. Each track on a groovebox is basically a sponsorship track by the producer for the gear on launch. They get musician input, the musicians get featured in the manual, upload samples and breaks, demo spots at conventions- those famous Roland demo videos from the late 90's. People are buying a groovebox for the groovebox, not the tracks produced on/for the groovebox. This is an album with a diy analog synth board created as album art that could be built (to various success rates) to augment the listener's experience of the album. I can see the similarity, but these aren't demo tracks to showcase the gear's potential. People buy the album and *might* build the synth. The intention is very different.
Honestly this made me a fan of them
Thank you for your candor.
He’s always so unintentionally funny on certain topics
I ordered one of these, have a bag of parts waiting, and can't wait for both the record and the build.
Mine's on its way, seems they're almost sold out 🤘
saving up for parts the record looks amazing the board looks killer and has a great easy layout

amazing
ya love to see it
you should make an album that's a TH-cam commercial... that interrupts your album when you play it...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I get it and like it 😄
APTBS hell yeah! 🔥🖤🔥
Will be building this and incorporating a mono usb keyboard. Results will be reported here. Stay tuned.
my fkin dog hates that synth Oliver!🤣🤟
does it come with a dust sprayer?😂
like the idea (buying the synth should come with a copy of the album imo). won't be buying as might put the 200 to a ableton upgrade

How so, that sounds interesting

The previous MC-303 was a lot of fun to play with.

@@roxyamused Heigo Tani and other guys' work for MC-505 was much more than "demo" (i hope this word was not used as a derogatory term?)
No offense but I though swans was the loudest band in New York and of all time.
i really like their music. but the mastering of their albums is really bad. they really want to sound louder than anyone.
I love their music to death but I do enjoy most of their songs live opposed to the studio stuff
OMFG it’s way out of range for a seasoned postmodernist like me…
