John Baizley: Our writing process has always been pretty similar, though it has been a long time coming to find the right lineup. I usually start off by writing the skeleton of the song, and we all flesh it out together. I spent extensive time this year demoing the songs, either in my home, or our rehearsal space. I was more interested in overall composition and individually pure songwriting, such that each song should have its own distinct arc and purpose on our record.

John Baizley: Our original guitar, Tim Loose, left after we recorded our third EP, a split with The Unpersons entitled “A Grey Sigh In A Flower Husk”.

We had just signed to relapse, so all the sudden, after 5 years of subsistence- touring, we had some support and a decent budget to record a full length. We recorded this one with Philip Cope (who had recorded all of our records at that point). We spent a week and a half in the studio, which was a luxury. Blue Record? John Baizley: Brian left the band after the “Red Album” tours. Pete Adams, a friend of ours from childhood, joined the band.

Perceptual Audio Classification Using Principal Component Analysis Zak Burka A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Computer Science Department of Computer Science Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences Rochester Institute of Technology Approved May 6, 2010 Abstract The development of robust algorithms for the recognition and classifi- cation of sensory data is one of the central topics in the area of intelligent systems and computational vision research. In order to build better intelli- gent systems capable of processing environmental data accurately, current research is focusing on algorithms which try to model the types of process- ing that occur naturally in the human brain. In the domain of computer vision, these approaches to classification are being applied to areas such as facial recognition, object detection, motion tracking, and others. This project investigates the extension of these types of perceptual clas- sification techniques to the realm of acoustic data. As part of this effort, an algorithm for audio fingerprinting using principal component analysis for feature extraction and classification was developed and tested.

La finalité étant que vous foulerez quelques années encore les terres Clissonnaises si vous participez aux prochains Hellfest « nouvelle formule » à partir de 2012 ! Alors évidemment, le succès tout relatif du Hellfest, qui ne s’est pas fait en un jour, a finit par attiser des convoitises et nous avons vu fleurir plusieurs projets… certains ont vu le jour en toute modestie pour, nous l’espérons, être appelés à se développer.

  • And the Shifting Geography of the Music Industry Student
    ….. and the Shifting Geography of the Music Industry Student: Philippe Soret Student Number: 4169808 Advisor: Dr. Huib Ernste Date: June 30, 2013 Word Count: 33,159 1 Preface Relapse Records has been a central pillar of my life since I started working there at age 18. My love of challenging and difficult music has been a part of my life even longer though. As I have worked in the industry through the years, I’ve seen many changes and developments that have been both alarming and reassuring from music that was previously relegated to the underground now being more freely accessible but, at the same time, watching revenue streams shrink on a seemingly weekly basis. This thesis is a manifestation of my desire to better understand the music industry through the eyes of one record label, and bring my experiences and ground these experiences in geographic thought and study. My biggest help in this has been my wife, Laura, who has quietly let me work 80-hour weeks with rarely a complaint. Without her, this thesis could not have been completed.

  • Dan Finn's Record Collection
    Dan Finn 12/14/12 Access to Moving Image Collections Rebecca Guenther Dan Finn’s Record Collection I. The collection I have chosen is my personal collection of vinyl records. It is perhaps a little misleading to call this a collection as most collectors of records have a great many more than I do. My collection spans just one shelf of a regular size bookcase at the moment, but in total there are 164 different pieces. The collection has great personal value to me because I only buy an album on vinyl if I know I really love the music or have a pretty good idea that I will enjoy it. So though there are not many valuable records in the sense of rare first pressings or collectors’ editions, I find them all valuable as a summary of my musical taste and personal history. The historical side of the value is due to the fact that I’ve been slowly accruing the collection for over a decade, and many of the albums were purchased after seeing a band perform live. I also believe that the collection has value due to the fact that some of the records are of little known, young acts that may have in some cases already disbanded. So though the record is “rare” in the sense that my copy may be one of 50 to 500 copies ever made, the relative demand for these is not very high and so some of them might otherwise get forgotten. Apart from that I came across many of these bands and their releases through touring with my own band, and therefore these connections have sentimental value to me.
