They enjoy experimenting with sound, often creating tracks that challenge traditional music structures. Their approach is playful and abstract, focusing on the experience rather than fitting into a specific genre or market. - URL: https://ra.co/features/2756 ## LLM Chats ## NotebookLM ## LLM Audio ## Highlights > **Sean Booth**: I used to have a thing where if I had a keyboard or drum machine, I'd try to make tracks only using that. Even though it was a bit shit and I didn't know what I was doing, it forced me to learn every single thing it could do because I needed to use it for every single part of the track. That'd open it up for me. Back in the day I'd take advice from other musicians, like people would say "buy a DX-100, they're really good for bass sounds," because that's what everyone had used them for. But if you make life difficult by making every sound in the track with the DX-100 you'd end up figuring out all these other things it could do. So I do have that attitude: just rinse it, figure out everything, by not allowing yourself to do anything else and really concentrate for a bit.

There'd be this weird sense of them being elusive as fuck. ([View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01jnpmttqrg6gsygjqz54fbwqc)) - Tags: [[analogue warmth]]
