Those clubs were far and few between for my attendance though. I wasn't accustomed to getting home at 5 AM. One Sunday morning I decide to go to the big Tower Records in the village to look for the kind of music I remember hearing in Danceteria. I tried to describe it to a couple of floor employees. They didn't seem to know what I was talking about and I couldn't really describe the music in any intelligible way. One finally said he thought he knew what I meant. I went home with a CD called "Disco" by Pet Shop Boys. It wasn't really what I was looking for but it had beats. It was too disco-y though. I remember 2 songs from that CD, "In the Night" and "West Side Girls".
Soon I found a small vinyl shop. I left there with a vinyl by George Kranz called "Din Da Da". It also wasn't what I was looking for but I liked it.
I gave up looking. About a year before the 21st century a Brit friend turned me onto some music....Orbital, Underworld, the Chemical Brothers and others. I had forgotten about Din Da Da and my search for something I could only vaguely describe until a couple of nights ago when I made a post in the tracks forum and mentioned the song. Now I'm having fun writing tracks. Took me long enough hehe.

if you're interested in having some single string samples fenangled out of you for analysis, that can happen.
my goal here is to stop people form using sitar samples in electronic music.. hearing the same sympathetic string swells makes me feel bad. and oc i can sell it.
atb to you,

The sitar samples I always hear are pretty much the same and sampled from the Ravi Shankar sound. If you go to youtube you can find videos of Nishat Khan, Vilayat Khan, Imrat Khan, and hear very different and less twangy sounding sitars.
How are you? Good to see you're still getting your hands dirty on the knobs.

some interesting sitar tutorials on youtube, including one indian teacher with a very hypnotic gaze. it was the best way to get close ups of how the instrument is constructed.
i can't stand those ruddy samples.. 45 minute ambient track playing the same sympathetic string swell sample over and over again.. inspires me to keep going. these audio files are ~first steps, proof that the waveguide can achieve the twang.
i'm alright, i've been gang stalked for the last five years (i finally found out what it's called) which has been pretty amazingly miserable, but we know what happens to tyrants
