Jesusetc84 Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 You're gonna need tiles tuned to different pitches. I'm not actually trying to replicate it...I'm just saying...it'd be interesting to put a list together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.miller Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 The amount of sonic experimentation on that album is fabulous. I would argue that it's their most adventurous album to date. As I recall, Jim O'Rourke said that he cut 80% of the noise off of what the band originally had recorded. I would really like to hear that. Good luck on locating all the stuff they used, I'm excited to see what you come up with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAngerer09 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 They don't have most of it now anyway, right? Didn't like over half the equipment belong to Jay? I remember reading that somewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WaronWar Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I really want to get one of those KAOS pad. I first saw it in then movie, and then learned Nels used it. I believe it's mainly a DJ instrument, but for guitar, I have heard you can do some crazy fucked up things, which interests me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I believe it's mainly a DJ instrument, but for guitar, I have heard you can do some crazy fucked up things, which interests me. I have a Kaoss Pad and love it. I use it through midi keys and strings to do some jacked up stuff. Use preset 20 it's awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WaronWar Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I shall keep that in mind. I would buy it soon, but I believe it's about $ 300. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FourStrongWinds Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 You're gonna need tiles tuned to different pitches. could you explain this please? did they do that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.miller Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 could you explain this please? did they do that?I think Glenn did that, among other strange, different and awesome stuff -- like stringing piano strings through hubcaps and stuff. Creative genius. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 could you explain this please? did they do that? For songs, I think it's most obvious on PKB - the second verse where everything but the clunking sounds and Tweedy's vocals drops out - those clunky sounds are tiles tuned to different pitches. I think they had 88 different tiles, if my memory serves me. I would suspect all the different guitar tones would find their starts modified by a Klon Centaur...I'm certain Nels uses one, though he wasn't even there... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FourStrongWinds Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 how on earth do you tune a tile though? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ginandcigarettes Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 how on earth do you tune a tile though? I would guess that you'd chip (cut, file) pieces off of it until it was the appropriate pitch. It couldn't be really different than a glockenspiel or any other pitched percussion instrument.

FourStrongWinds Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 oh i get you, must be pretty hard. i tried tuning wine glasses with water the other day and it was hard then i expected Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CalebMac Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I'm pretty sure the tune tiles are crotales: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crotales Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigWheeledWagon Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I'm pretty sure the tune tiles are crotales: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crotales Glenn definately has crotales (or something akin to them) in his setup (an extensive group of them no less), but I think the tuned tiles of discussion were something else entirely. If I recall from IATTBYH, they were more akin to ceramic tiles than to crotales and thus had less of a bell-like tone and more of a xylophone or vibraphone tone, but I would have to go back and watch the DVD again (never a bad way to spend a few hours). After watching Glenn open for Jeff back in January, I am still in awe of the amazing variety of his kit and his ability to work with such a wide tonal pallet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Monte Davis Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Well I also know that some of the noise, they took peices from The Connet Project. It's a collection of number stations from all around the world. They used this mainly Poor Places. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
