RE: "I Love New Yorke" - from DRUMOPERATOR Original Modular Synth Electronic LP "slowfork"
Excellent as usual, but all I really want to do is nerd out on how important Kid A was for me as well. Like, I’m not sure if I would be doing what I do now if it wasn’t for that album. Still, love this work.
I shudder to think what kid a timeperiod Radiohead would have done with the tools available now. I thoroughly enjoyed Moon Shapes Pool but man. Kid A hit me just right, and the vocal processing available now via grain splicing...can only imagine what pushing-the-envelope-era Thom Yorke would have done with it.
I always read about how influential Reaktor was in the creation of it and now that I'm more familiar with it I feel like I can hear it's influence all over that record. I remember watching them perform Idioteque on SNL as a teen and seeing Jonny Greenwood messing with a modular synth and being like "What is that thing?" Once I finally start mine it'll be like achieving a childhood dream for me.
