The noise annoys 

Where would we be without John Peel ?

 

In a time of noise we need selectors!

Yeah man. 

We can all agree on something right?

 

I chat with DJ

VJ

Label boss

Zen 

Cyber punker

Future surfer 

 

Matt Black

He’s seen a lot. A LOT

 

From making hit records in the UK (One that sat at the number 1 spot for weeks), to

remixing Legends like Eric B and Rakim, INXS, Steve Reich, The Fall and James Brown (I mean what a list!)... from

mulitmedia pioneering with everything from video art to software video performance instruments to the unknown sky.

 

Matt has had his fingers in many a tasty pie. 

 

I was very lucky to catch up with him on the blower for a minute :) 

 

we chat about the zen delay which is a great collaboration between ninja tune and Ericasynths. Check this link!

Nitty today is all about the mysterious and musical world of the morph. Exploring the space in BETWEEN. I use a few methods to explore this.

the obxa's portamento, the emblematic systems "catalyst" which is a eurorack module for crossfading between stored states (in this notes)

and lastly I use Ableton with midi faders to achieve similar results. I needed to make a max patch for this which is here: enjoy ! it has a help button :)

  

ABLETON NITTY FADER!
