Why? Have you heard Modus Operandi? Seeing as Burial has even said he's a big Photek obsecive I think it would sound like that. And also everyone i've spoken to about Burial says the same thing with in the first few sentences of the conversation.

i actually like the fact i dont know who burial is..

Well it adds to the appeal if your a fanboy. Maybe he's just shy.

I couldn't care less who he is. It's not like I'll ever be his best mate or marry his sister.

His tunes rule. Knowing anything about him won't ever change that.

OTM

i always wonder what difference people knowing his first and surname would actually make...

Exactly. Just like Kode 9!

mystery solved!!!

kode9 is at least 50 years old

hahahah, wait till he sees this

it's actually pretty rudimentary imo, and he says that in some interview i read. he layers white noise/field recordings to hide that fact. Don't get me wrong the music is beautiful, and I really like it.

I don't think Burial sound like Photek, and I have heard Modus Operandi.
I think Burial sounds German.
Or continental, at least.
Maybe towards Matmos, Akufen, Kit Clayton, Pole, that end of things.
Maybe a bit Berndt Freidman even.
I do not care really who it is, known or unknown, but they've definetely got a bit of German in them. Or thereabouts.
Hang on...
It's Aphex Twin, isn't it!!?!!
OMG, it's actually The Eurythmics!!!!
No, I just found out, it's Mike Oldfield!!!!!!!

nah just like the fact theres no ego on the 'i made this big me up front'
get me

(not that theres too much ego involved in this scene anyways..)

Well in knowing who he is, quite a bit I imagine. You did the interview, so presumably you know.

Not that it makes any difference really, good music's good music period. The rest of it's just Heat style titillation. All music should be about tunes over artists.

I'm more suspicious of the whole album being made in Soundforge - very impressive if he did, but can't see how it'd sound as good as it does.

And I don't think it sounds much like Photek either in all honesty.

you're right, 'better' was the wrong word. it's totally distinctive anyway and i think whatever he's doing with his drum processing sounds great. maybe it is just white noise but it's certainly fooling my ears if it is.

his name is irrelevant and i can assure you his very first release was the hyperdub 12".

"sound-engineering" or "noise-artistry"

I reckon that interview where s/he goes on about using hiss and crackle to cover mistakes is a bit modest.
it's a process called "arrangement."

Burial sounds good very loud or very quiet and that is an accomplishment in itself.

definetely could be done in soundforge, maybe there's a mic involved, maybe s/he plays wind instruments, maybe s/he has some tasty outboard and soundforge is used more for editing and layering.
anyway, if u apply yerself, soundforge is more than enough software.

Why? Have you heard Modus Operandi?

yeh ive heard modus operandi. i think theyre almost polar opposites, burial's music (to me) is about warmth, emotion, soul, blurs... photek is precision, austerity, fear... burial feels personal while photek feels almost completely impersonal

dont get me wrong, i love photek, but i dont see similarity
