[Sjmashlum]

sigh, please delete this description.

yes I can read, ingentin.

[Sjmashlum]

100th monkey*. : )



[Sjmashlum]

lol ^ at the above description. You do not have to justify nor describe this genre of music. This genre of music has been delivered to us by the 10th monkey. =)

[hytyttiva]

Jesus wept

[smegmaunit]

more than awesome

[FatSynthDude]

I find this difficult to masturbate to.

[LSAeindhoven]

@FatSynthDude HAHAHAHAHA although I've seen this type of comments manymanymany times.... that really hit my laughing spot due to this music. Thanks! :-) Great tune.

[FatSynthDude]

@FatSynthDude Well, it took some time, but I finally managed to masturbate to this video. I feel as though I've accomplished something great.

[EmoFaget]

Excellent.

[adj789]

this makes me wish I could have seizures

[Zneekerz]

Xanopticon is like therapy for me.

Have a shitty day, turn it on.

Few seconds in to the track: "what was I thinking about now again?"

walk home smiling

[Wazztheweasel]

omg quality is so shit its not even funny!! 240p LAWL

[purebokety]

This is unreal music,if you dont get it dont listen to it.

go watch something else = simple solution to your problem.

[tbonewilson]

This is drug den music only

[L4NuitDuChasseur]

These sounds are fucking my head when I try to learn for school

[Overlord360]

the fuck

[inertiaprojector]

You eat shit and enjoy Você come merda e se divertir @tidus

[Tidus180986]

cosè stà merda!!!!!!!!!!!

[jnabraham]

The vid is so perfect for this song. Audial pain and pleasure. Like Hellraiser thrown into a computer program.

[atfaught]

randomizer ~ aphex twin did it 10 years ago .. its ripe to re-sell to a new generation .. sigh..

[nektakilla]

@atfaught guess what that is wrong, aphex never did anything as hard as this, he is a melody man and I love him for it. Not all electronic music comes back to a ginger from Cornwall jesus christ.

[xVoodeedoox]

@atfaught just because you can't comprehend it or can't keep up doesn't mean it's "random". if it were, it would sound like complete bollocks. a lot of time and talent was put into this.

[atfaught]

@xVoodeedoox ...yeah...you're right. rdj still did it 10 years ago though.

[xVoodeedoox]

@atfaught true, hence his innovativeness. no one can quite do it like him still.

[err0r]

LOL @ the Metallica fan talking up Xanopticon. Man, now I've read everything.

[Metallicafan002]

@err0r I made this account four years ago, i hardly even listen to them anymore... i just can't be arsed making a new one.

[ChoofDoof]

@Metallicafan002 It's not hard. Make a gmail account. Make a youtube account. UR DONE LOL

[Metallicafan002]

This is actually the fucking worst thing i've ever heard. I nearly restarted my computer because I thought the speakers were fucking up. I can't believe anybody would even call this music. It sounds like somebody playing a game of pacman while falling down a very long flight of stairs.

[clickadeclick]

@Metallicafan002 it's definitely music, just a very VERY different vein to what of lot of other people's tastes are.

[speedcoregewalt]

@Metallicafan002 which proves that good ideas can start with anything

[err0r]

@Metallicafan002 DARKNESS, IMPRISONING ME, ALL I SEE, ABSOLUTE HORROR! DARKNESS, IMPRISONING ME, ALL I SEE, ABSOLUTE HORROR! DARKNESS, IMPRISONING ME, ALL I SEE, ABSOLUTE HORROR! DARKNESS, IMPRISONING ME, ALL I SEE, ABSOLUTE HORROR! DARKNESS, IMPRISONING ME, ALL I SEE, ABSOLUTE HORROR! DARKNESS, IMPRISONING ME, ALL I SEE, ABSOLUTE HORROR! DARKNESS, IMPRISONING ME, ALL I SEE, ABSOLUTE HORROR! DARKNESS, IMPRISONING ME, ALL I SEE, ABSOLUTE HORROR!

[wapenspraak]

vuile glitchcore

brrrrrreeaaaaaakkkkkkkkkk

[AsphyxZero]

I want to know how you would go about making something like this. Not the music, but the video.

[gnortznitz]

There is no excuse for this crap. This is to art as bowel movement is to interpretive dance. Fuck this idiotic noise to hell. It is unmusical and arrhythmic.

[AsphyxZero]

Unmusical and arrhythmic is good.

[amiablesnowman]

Sweet mother of God. This music is unbelievable! What album/ep is this from?

[CardiacCrysis]

to everyone criticizing this : these "disturbing awful sounds" are the only honest way to exteriorize everyday pressure & stress. it is hard to handle people pretending to be "normal", wearing "normal" dresses, acting "normally", laughing "normally" at "normal" jokes and living "normal" lives. your lack of creativity & boredom created this genres of extreme music (thanks a lot btw).

[h3ldy42]

this is awful

[rosztajn]

Wow! Great video. Xanopticon rulez.

[deektedrgg]

Tron, Altered States... Maybe a bit Lawnmower Man?

[CardiacCrysis]

FUCKING PSYCHO. i LOVE this.

[o0hedphuq0o]

i dont understand! what are u supposed to do to this? its not really aggressive enough to mosh, too fragmented to dance, are you supposed to just stand in a club and appreciate the sound?

[Jez4prez]

@o0hedphuq0o wtf, since when do you have to dance to all music?

[SomeShows]

@o0hedphuq0o I dunno about you, but I'd be fucking moshing hard to this just banging my head every which way, saliva loose from my mouth, etc...there is no reason not to move to this, it's the pure embodiment of chaos put into order and still sounding chaotic and beautiful all at once! "Hedphuq" was my last name on Facebook for a while, btw, gotta love that Tamphex. ;)

[speedcoregewalt]

@o0hedphuq0o i dunno it looks a bit like i´m having seizures when dancing to this. PARTYY!!!!

[chillskid]

This guy could learn a thing or two from v snares.

[ballersack]

This is what black metal will sound like in 1000 years

[BludRayp]

@ballersack HAHAHAHAHA

[04253543]

@ballersack definetley :P

[MIKEDURSTEWITZ]

This is the first time i've heard this guy and he's awesome :D

And i see there is some argument about Vsnares not being as good. Guys, it's electronic music. I like Vsnares, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Autechre, Modeselektor, Burial, Goldie and lots of others. It's ALL different. We don't need to class who's better and who's worse. let's just all enjoy the kickass music.

[Tyzz]

@MIKEDURSTEWITZ

FEAR NOT YOUTUBE, MIKE IS THE WHITE KNIGHT TO SAVE US ALL.

[KnumberMnine]

Cool vid.

[deathgrindfreak]

clips from altered states as well.

[Romaone069]

Охренеть и не встать. Реально сильная вещь (впрочем как и другие их работы)

Мясо!

[Despoilah]

its giving me a murder boner!

[igytsiycm]

This video's addictive.

[sztrokonof]

brain defragmentation

[pawelmosio]

Blaerg is better .

[shmilip]

/watch?v=FWyzHeUbbCI how do you like this one? :)

[royalsteven]

Yes hmm maybe it takes some time to discover those patterns and melodic changes in this music. But I either don't have the patience or attention for that lol

[royalsteven]

Yes but at least Classical musics or Messhuggah is Structured or more Melodious musics.

[povkilla]

Xanopticon = sonic bliss. enough said!

[bergye]

Wow i im love with that fluid destruction,i call it future!

[bergye]

mange tes croutes ti-gars

[OrnelaKrilin]

this is A M A Z I N G ! ! ! i ::::::fuckin LOVE IT!::::... pure demic athmo.....i wanna make this style of music....but i dont remember on ambient. harmony must be!

[ritterjams]

this is amazing-every time signature is like a fukin orgazm in my brain. I once saw a show in Germany and it was epic!! THIS IS THE FUTURE WELCOME TOO IT

[royalsteven]

I'm also interested. Is this music for nervous psychotics? Don't get me wrong I'm a music lover. I listen to anything metal, classical, blues, rap, country, dance but this makes me nervous and uncomfortable. I listen to stuff like Autechre and Aphex Twin but this seems more like art then music. Like very well thought out beats and patterns but just for the sake of sounding loud, intelligent and art like. Music for accomponing extreme video art? Tell me what is so soothing and warm about this?

[catsaffinity]

@royalsteven

definitely nothing soothing and warm about xanopticon

[bro4o]

lol ! WORD

[NoiseSculpted]

The part at 1.40 goes in 7/4. You will have to count like "1234 1234, 123456; 1234.. " etc. however at 3.00 it seems to change into 4/4. Its a tricky track, hard to tell what the original time sig really is!

[L7dreamtheaterfan]

This is not his best song, since it's honestly the only xap song I've EVER heard in 4/4. Which is it's major drawback. Also, he takes advantage of his timing window during the quiet parts too much, and this is before he fixed his samples up real nice and great sounding. It's raw and original but still not on the usual xap level. I don't listen to alot of breakcore, but i do love xaps music.

[vork666]

Liminal Space is full of songs which are in 4/4 meter. Which is not a bad thing, because those songs kick major ass, but the 4/4 is way more obvious there than in this song.

What does the meter have to do with the awesomeness of the song anyway?

[L7dreamtheaterfan]

Never listened to that whole album. Remember i don't listen to alot of breakcore.

But I enevr said it wasn't an awesome song. I'm just saying it's not as awesome as his other more technical tracks.

[OrnelaKrilin]

i fucking luv this its little like my bupropion. on 100% = ***** perfect experimental hard noise breakcore. this is future. perfect video. fits to music. da best

[milesbennett]

wat are u fuckin 12? we all know that shit if we're watching a Xan opticon video.

[lffinnett]

I'm so sorry did I say anything wrong?

[WhiteStripe99]

oh lol

[znubzz188]

YAY! NOIZE CHAOS

[pseudocaveman]

It sounds like Michael J. Fox is fiddling with the knob on a radio/TV while someone is continuously throwing drums down a stairwell and someone fell asleep head-first on a keyboard. In a good way, of course.

Love it.

[Speedof88]

@pseudocaveman Trying too hard to be funny.

[chillskid]

@pseudocaveman The Michael J Fox thing isn't cool

[franq87]

great f*cking visualisation!

[GeorgeL909]

I can appreciate this.

[aphalga]

Images are better-looking than tunes.

[DevSlashNull]

this tune and video is still amazing, Brendan Nodalterror/Statas did a fucking KILLER job on it!

[seaofseeof]

Odd question, but out of curiosity, are you the actual Dev/Null who releases shit on Cock Rock Disco? If so.. well, coo'. I'm a big fan.

[GruntALicious]

altered states <3

[fabiorosho]

trippy

[xoio]

Sounds like Tarmvred on Ketamine

[InfernoxLombax]

ok Kinetic frantic u are more confusing than the video, it's pretty cool though( btw i am a metal head)

[maxxim666leviathan]

This is my new favorite band. Fuckin Brutal!!! \m/_o_O_o_\m/

[theinsane63]

this is insanely awesome feels like your going on a trip adventure so addicting and im seeing.. things.

i could of sworn halfway into it i saw tron in orange xD

[skullgr1nd]

Fucking godlike

[Jukeboksi]

Xanopticon on acid would be killer. Seriously. <3

[StatutoryTape]

Absolutely ferocious video. The sound of frying synapses.

[SubversiveDarkness]

wow random distorted and chopped drums! I still cant understand the fuss with xanopticon and venetian snares. oh well, to each their own

[InfinityDose]

not too big into venetian snares, i just tend to block his sounds out after a couple tracks, they get annoying. but i dig xanopticon, i think they have a wider range of sounds and vary it better.

in the end what i really don't understand is all the fuss with guitars and traditional drums after all these years.

[tomqelectronica]

xanopticon is the shight ye cant knock snares he is the big time shight hes a nice man and does the stuff when he gigs

[DevSlashNull]

not random at all. I have seen dude program this stuff, he is very deliberate and not just throwing notes in there at all. His new stuff is more streamlined and less verbose though.

[InfinityDose]

what was this edited with?

[bitchbitchbaconbacon]

fruity slicer :D

[InfinityDose]

hahaha fruity beat slicer is fun... but i was asking what the video was edited with. i wonder what DAW xanopticon uses too

[robinhoode]

I've heard he uses a tracker, maybe Renoise?, but used Fruity to do some of his earlier work.

[glun]

OH GOD I CAN SEE FOREVER.

[HyperTorrent]

You dumbasses that think there is no beat. I'm currently stepping this for StepMania. Once I finish it, I'll post the video as a comment.

Btw, the bpm is 176, and the count is either 5/4 or 7/4. I can't tell. But if you put a metronome up to it, there'd be a noise every quarter note.

[Sleerz]

The dumbasses thinking there is no beat just can't get their head around the ownage.

[xyz39808comments]

Send me a link of the simfile, that sounds awesome.

[KineticFrenetic]

You just can't jump into Xanopticon's world. Human instruments need to be left far behind. Where metalheads are decapitated by an eight of a second of the soundwave. Zen like training in the X dimension of technological chaos is required. Virgin ears cannot handle the orgy.

[hoffness]

It sounds like 4/4 to me, but I could be wrong. At least at around 4:40 you can hear a 1&2&3_ 4& bass rhythm repeating.

[plop833]

@HyperTorrent

is the stepfile up? ^_^ i'm pretty curious how you stepped.. this =D

[inimicalODDITY]

@HyperTorrent There is noise every second?

[vork666]

Not only the music kicks ass, but the video is one of the coolest and most fitting music videos that I ever saw.

[vadimfv]

Ryan we leurve you! :)

[Deathsiren]

I fucking love this track.

[KineticFrenetic]

Once a space governing alien species recieves this video transmission, the intergalactic drug trade will open up to Earth and our profits will see a 3,000 percent increase over other galaxical communities already involved.

[maccka1]

speeded up Autechre

[DDRpwnerer]

I would give you 9001 thumbs up for posting that comment, if I could.

[Styxs420]

@KinetiK001 not likely......v.snares destroys

[stethoscanomaly]

@KinetiK001 yeah right. more like a lame version of making orange things... everything on winter in the belly of a snake is way better than this

[senselessstudios]

that's it, the internet is over. everyone go home.

[plusomnik]

Nice music.

[Lord6addam]

cause you are fucking gay and cunthog!!

[343596]

this sounds shiiiit!!!

[SubRaver303]

so shit its good, : P, i suppose u like the words of Abba and N-fucking-snc

[343596]

N-sync haha! Noone likes boyband anymore... But this is not music, it hasn´t got a beat, it´s just random noices. So i would defenatly prefer abba or n-sync for this crap.

[DDRpwnerer]

Actually, this is based heavily on mathematics so I wouldn't go as far to say it's random noises.

[xyz39808comments]

How do you know that? I'd love to know what processes he uses he makes this stuff. (Would also be nice to see him live)

[SubRaver303]

just cos u cant her the beat doesnt meean there isnt one, im sure enuff people disagree with u cos this guy has made a carear out of "random noises"

[Listigovers]

Xanopticon is the most inhuman music I have ever heard. Sure, it's not the most abrasive or weird... But noise sounds like human experimentation... This sounds like experimentation on humans...

[boogerbenson]

I'll leave comments on whatever the fuck i want to! cheeky cunt!

[Rognalf]

Why are people commenting on music they don't like? That never seizes to amaze me.

[rageagainst89]

lol i think its spelled ceases

[Rognalf]

And I think it's spelled "it's" ;)

Thanks for correcting me though :)

[rageagainst89]

oh well thats what i get for tryin to sound smart

[Rognalf]

No worries. It's all about Xanopticon anyway :)

[GeniusSloth]

he didn't correct you dumbass, you had it right the first time, they're both words...you used the right one and he suggested one that makes absolutely no sense.

[RachidMassied]

frustration

[xyz39808comments]

What if one wishes to redefine music? It needn't have rhythm nor melody, nor harmony. Music is simply sound organized through time. Xanopticon's organization is complex and free. It is a music of strong energy, yet, soothing. Please be more open minded when hearing experimental music.

[boogerbenson]

this isn't music! its an old 80's space invader game thats been recorded & put into a pc & fucked about with. My 2 year old could make better 'music' than this & guess what? - he's only 2! :-)

[BlackRobbel]

Guess what? You're too old.

[boogerbenson]

What age got to do with music? See comment above by 'thefirsttryanddaniels' - says it all! No beat, no rythm! how can you have a song without those 2? It probably sounds good if you're ripped to the tits on some trendy new chemical aid - but then again, you wouldn't be thinking straight on that would you? - guess what mate - 'YOU'RE TOO YOUNG'!

Its a pile of shit noise at the end of the day. its like 30 radios all tuned to different stations ha ha! bullshit!

[Sharangir]

Dissonance is the future.

[vork666]

I want 30 radios that give music this creepy when they are all tuned to different stations! What kind of radios are you using?

[Schnieklas]

So fuckin freaky! ;-)

[rephlex]

noise ? where ?

[lysergic33]

i don't agree i think its great use of weard electronic noises that some how becomes music

bravo very inventive

[thefirstryandaniels]

No offense, but I really am not loving this. Don't get me, wrong, I'm not one of those idiots who dislike this kind of music because it's so noisy, but I really just don't think this song has any rythm to it. It feels like this song is litterally shallow, like it starts off good, but it doesn't go any deeper, and it also feels like there is almost no continuity throught the song.

[DDRpwnerer]

His other tracks improve on that, I think. But yeah, this song doesn't have much depth, it's just there. I'm a HUGE fan of Powernoise-IDM-Breakcore, so I might be a snob for saying that, but it's still okay.

[sidewalkpsb]

people who are into breakcore etc. And especially things like Xanopticon just wont understand you. Its the regular spastic "beats" you can find in experimental jazz or IDM, and the glitches and cuts are not very extreme.

This is a good xanopticon song, not his best, but the video is really really nice

[IAmThePartyCrasher]

Mr. Gordon would be proud.

[IAmThePartyCrasher]

Mr. Gordon would be proud.

[CocoaShunter]

fucking all around seizure inducing shit right here

[Sealiconspirit]

fuck yeah

this is heavy shit

can't get bored watching it

respect xanopticon

[robinhoode]

I'm slowly turning this video into my personal religion.

[riku4245]

It sounded like insanity.

[minion1]

epic win

[0xDEF11ADE]

I didn't expect the face of God to be so blue.

[Huangrabarguar]

frickin' delicious!

[ex0terr]

Chummers, this ist NOT the thing of music or not music.

It is just the feeling of melting wires! Kissing the black IC, gettin' kicked out of the matrix and heaving a nice little moment of burned out-syndrom...

hmm.. just wait two or three decades!

Special thx 2 bolverk!!

It may be considered as honor for Tron und Max to appear in this way in some framez.

[ex0terr]

I am sorry!!

Chumer Khaosgott.. related to chummer bolvvverk...

kann ja mal passieren. das sind die Nachwirkungen!

..toll.. und wer spielt mir jetzt die Software wieder auf mein Deck??

[Aernhem]

this is the intro I hope...?

[Rohaja]

OMFG I had hoped to hear some music. Suddenly start to care about my 5.1 set if there was something wrong. THIS IS NO MUSIC!

This is only for sick brains.:(

[ulliwar]

I love it. I need some more. Where can i get it?

[dinnerwithvampires]

i feel emotionally drained after that

[PragmaticEncephalon]

Need some artists feedback on my vids. Your help is appeciated. Experimental electronic and glitch...

[robinhoode]

Pretty cool video

[Jukeboksi]

I love Xanopticon.

[BolVVVerk]

Great track, great video...

[elisSabine]

i take this and make one video better than this.... i hope u dont disagree with me... but really i dont have found music in this video..and the images are good!!! can i do that; please!?

[cdatakill]

dope track , but his music is even more impressing live

[CodyRicheson]

Was introduced to the "powernoise" by a friend. 'This is by far the most irritating, unlisetnable, and wathable shit I've ever seen', most will think, but I think it's truly innovative.

[TomDillinger]

hahahaha I was getting ready to leave you a dirty comment...then I finished reading your comment lolololololol.

[Duffblue]

It sucks, get over yourself.

[darksouldealer]

the rhythmic stuff yes, stuff on ant-zen and crunch pod...the discordant japanese san fran stuff ala merzbow no...i cant take that stuff
