At that time, he was using an Eventide Orville (verrrry pricey then) through Reaktor. Now, don't think you'll just buy one, plug it in and become the new Squarepusher. Both of these require some serious knowledge in sound programming to give their full potential. :)
The best part is when he talked about the disgusting Queen rock beat... and of course when he demonstrated the granular synthesis with his voice--- "PPPPPPFFFFFF.... PP PP PP PP"
There are tons of great electronic artists out today, you just have to look for them. Dont blame this new generation and the advancements in technology for the fall of electronic music, that is not the case.
That old man must be in me too, i'm 35 now and I can't stand the modern Skrillex sound, taking these ideas and turning into what we hear today, underground forever my friend. I write music through the experimental process since 1999, and I have so few that listen to my music compared to the electro bunnies everywhere on soundcloud. Be proud you love creative music, i'll never stop loving it.
i came back from SQ Live few minutes ago.. i got pictures, and some vid, but its from photo camera so quality sux. Songs from Just A Souvenir took most of the show time, he played too: Anstromm-Feck 4, Hello Meow, Come On My Selector.. He is amazing, he played on the bass like crazy, he had 7 or 8 pedal controlers, stepping on it in lightspeed.
I was there, and Plaid was a very 'accessible' live set, while []-> was avant garde. Par for the course on those two artists I guess. Still a phenom show.
@jdoget07 Some people got it. Mere musicians like I ask "what can this new toy do?", Jenkins seems to go "How do I BREAK this thing and make it sounds awsome in the process". Pure genius.
i do really wonder how does he process the drums hits to render the "prrrtrttrtrtrrrtrt...." sound effect ? i haven't found any software which can render this in real time... does anybody have a clue ?
It’s all about loop length, when you loop a sound faster and faster, it becomes a note. When varying the loop length, you get that prrrrtrttrrttrrttt sound. When a loop length get’s short enough it’s considered “granular synthesis” There are tons of ways to achieve this, software like max MSP , NI Reaktor or make noise’ morphagene hardware for instance
He's overusing the word like... :D So I made two response videos, one where only words like "like" etc, and the other one where these words are silented out.
Watching this makes me want to blast Go Plastic. Hell of an album. Of course Tom's decided to go more organic and live-instrumentation these days, which I'm also cool with.
Another reason why its different today is bechause of the computer boom. There is no live connecyion to music, everything is quite generic and whole process is kind of fast-oriented.

Awesome, I attended that show at the Great American Music Hall. Tom spent most of his time hidden behind a gear case. It was positively insane.
just the way he explains it with his fingers and adds the sound effects makes me laugh :-)
Yay happy ☺

The editor was having a field day on this. Great stuff
He seems so much more mature from his earlier interviews in 96. Squarepushahhhh with all the different style of drum and bass.
the program at 1:21 is Reaktor, from Native Instrumens
I love Squarepusher, great bass player and musician!
bahaha whenever I watch this I still laugh at his drum machine / granular synthesis story. Pure classic :-)
The best part is when he talked about the disgusting Queen rock beat... and of course when he demonstrated the granular synthesis with his voice--- "PPPPPPFFFFFF.... PP PP PP PP"
yeah love it 😅

Squarepusher's the fucking Daddy.
makes all the different styles of drum ‘n basse

I always liked Squarepusher, but I think Pearsquoosher is better.
@rudizyg yeah this interview is from the go plastic era :)
Man at the time you'd think the Jimi Hendrix comparison would sound cocky, but he really did earn it. Still boundary pushing for digital audio today.
It's a Peavey PC-1600. A very old (circa mid '90's) MIDI fader box.

the last 100% good TV channel that ever existed.

go plastic is digital and brutal. ultravisitor and hello everything are seperate.
So much admiration for this man...
TechTV was so much better than the endless commercial that is now called G4

Great stuff polaricecaves, thanks for puting this up.

BOO KCHH BOOKCHH
i have a feeling that the reaktor shot and the home studio shot were this program's own footage pasted on top, you'd know what i mean like?
is jus' like pudddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd bdddddddpddddddd... it's like.
Maestro
I know. That song is great. I wish it was longer, though.
0:51 hahaha
Awesome! Never seen this interview!
crazy ass bassist
This will definitely boost Dr660s sales.
i do really wonder how does he process the drums hits to render the "prrrtrttrtrtrrrtrt...." sound effect ? i haven't found any software which can render this in real time... does anybody have a clue ?

AUTO PICTURE
thanks pl at youtube lol. i found the song,"my red hot car" .
@pebeau 'I Wish You Could Talk' on 'Go Plastic'
@NTFavorit I try to explain things to non-musical people the same way, but since I'm not Squarepusher, people just think I'm nutty.
Does anyone know what that thing with the sliders at 1:55 is?
He's overusing the word like... :D
So I made two response videos, one where only words like "like" etc, and the other one where these words are silented out.

Him and beardyman for sure

anyone know the song at 0.19? I know its just a simple beat but it has a nice groove lol

@@stoffenl The exploding psychology
I don’t know if people realize. Squarepusher uses a lot of electronic drum machines…he’s not a analog purest
He can't talk shit about Roger Taylor like that!
On second thought... he's the one man who can. Besides philly.
he can do it, he's squarepusher
wow! he has a really nice house with a pool, lovely!
I mighttt be wrong but it looked more like a cheap hotel, esp if he was playing a show later that day
does anyone know the name of that little black device with the faders is called? at 1:57
Indeed TechTV used to show some interesting stuff. Unfortunately back then I was barely 11 :/ G4 followed in MTV's footsteps.
lol what do you mean?
i think he's talking about looping the drum hits?
like micro looping?
The reason the show was sold out: Squarepusher. The reason people came: Plaid.
at 1:22 you can see that he's using Reaktor
hes playing in my country soon.. hell yeah
@TheRepublicOfJohn thanks man, amazing track!!
nice piece..
makes me proud to be british
yeah, pw me your mail
fuckin legend
thanks mate
