Ableton Forum

I realize that lots of artists on the Ableton's artists page are gone now, since version 2.0; exit Jelinek, Heiko Laux, ... (or did they withdraw by themselves!?) I understand Ableton had to make a more severe selection for the sake of marketing, and now that Live has gained popularity. But it really hurts my heart to see Jan Jelinek replaced by Daft Punk (!) or Sasha(!). Back to the past, in a way, because Jan's music is so much more reflecting the innovative side of Live than those two forementioned calibrated musical mass products. Really too bad!! I love Jan Jelinek's spirit so much, his music is so soulful and deep. Well... that's just how things go usually: pionneers, golden age, decay. I just hope that this is not an omen about how the program itself will evolve...
Silver Circle forever...

We are working to get these all back up, but changes in how our website works have created quite a backlog of artist stories to reformat. Believe me, we like different kinds of music over here too...

Thanks for your patience,

I loved the demo sets by people like Funkstörung and Laub, back in the 2.0 days those sets were cool to show some of the possibilities of the demo. I'd love to see that come back, and then some!

Jan Jelinek's production is genius.

I like the pink CD best.

Daft Punk's first was and is brilliant, I won't have you saying bad things about them.

Do you mean Loopfindingjazzrecords?
That's my favourite as well.

cool, can you also ask them to put up a demo of their work or provide some samples like you used to do in the beginning. I wonder how richard devine uses Live in a live environment or in the studio.

I like his farben project best... "Textstar", just beautiful!

Glad to see there are some fans here!
Jan Jelinek has quite a big discography actually... And many tracks appearing only on compilations, like ~scape's Staedtizism vol. 2,3,4. (Like, again, Silver Circle, that i could listen to for hours, not that i discover anything new each time, but i just melts my heart the same way as some tracks by Pharoah Sanders or Jon Hassell or...). Yeah, more than complexity and programming-vst wizardness, it's the taste and the sobriety, i guess.
Thank you Mr Jelinek, it would be a honor to meet you, if ever you come to Okinawa after Tokyo...

He's also just released "Kosmischer Pitch", anyone heard it???

I've heard the first 4 tracks. Really good, loopy guitars segued into pretty funky beats. Chilled.
