I think if anybody had made it, they were going to do well. We were incredibly lucky that we wrote those songs in 19, and we made Rattlesnakes, which was an irresistible record in a way.
This summer’s been busy for you with the release of the lavish Lloyd Cole and the Commotions Collected Recordings 1983-1989. ‘To go around the world and be hot shit for a minute was pretty exciting’: Lloyd Cole and the Commotions performing on The Tube in 1985. So long as that is my job, I’ll be quite happy. He wrote to me the other day, and said: “What are we going to do?” I said: “Well, I can’t play anything from the album, they were all just patches that I recorded and sent to you!” I’m going to have to be the guy that creates the structure that people improvise from. In Berlin, they want me to play for half an hour with Roedelius. You’ll be behind a bank of machines rather than behind your guitar. Next month, you play your first live gigs as a synthesiser operator in Europe. I don’t think Standards is going to be my last album of songs. But I know some people are just going to listen and go, “What the fuck is that?” I had an opportunity to release this music rather than just keeping it in my attic, and people I trust have been incredibly supportive and encouraging. But I remember hearing Low for the first time and being completely bemused, and now I think side two of Low is one of the most beautiful bunch of tracks I’ve ever heard. Quite a number have been completely bemused. How have some of these gushing original fans reacted to your synthesiser music? So they know, but it’s always been that way, and it’s not new. Frank’s younger, he’s got two years left of high school. He soon realised something’s going on there. We lived in New York until he was five or six, and walking around, every now and again I’d meet a gushing fan. My oldest son William’s grown up and out of the house now, and he’s a musician too. How aware are your sons, William and Frank, of your reputation as a musician? I mean, I love the winters here, but if it wasn’t for my wife and children, right now, I’d be in Whitby or East Lothian. I’m sitting in our attic right now – with my guitars, my synthesisers, and our library – and it’s 9am, and it’ll be 90 degrees in an hour. ‘We were incredibly lucky’: Lloyd Cole, second right, and the Commotions. I don’t like what’s become of computers in the past 15 years – they’ve become overwhelming. One reason I’m making the music I’m making right now is that I built a modular synthesiser to get away from the computer. When computer audio became prevalent, I idiotically sold a lot of them. In my small rehearsal room in Tribeca in New York, in the same building as Matt Johnson from The The, I had the Prophet VS, a Minimoog, one of the first sampling virtual synths, and a Roland sampler that had to have a television screen attached to it, which worked with floppy disks. I used it on the title track of Mainstream, and from then on I began to amass a collection. There was a preset on it called Fripp-Eno, which I still love. In the 80s, sort of accidentally, after buying a Sequential Circuits Prophet VS synthesiser in London’s Denmark Street. However, Patients at the hospital have different types of heart problems, ranging from silent beats, to wifi-signal jamming bacteria messing with both the patient's heartbeat and players' connection.And when did you start making electronic music yourself? The game helps the player by giving both audio and visual cues to aid in timing the player's rhythm to the 7th beat. It is harder in practice than on paper, as the hit window for the 7th beat is tight. Players defibrillate patients by pressing on the 7th beat on the cardiogram. The game is different from other rhythm games, as it only requires ONE key on your keyboard, mainly the spacebar, to play the game. You will meet several patients, each with different and varying underlying conditions to make the game feel lively. Rhythm Doctor has a story built into the rhythm mechanics, and as you finish treating patients one by one, you progress the story further. The game is about a wirelessly connected intern defibrillating patients in Middlesea Hospital. Rhythm Doctor is developed by 7th Beat Games with the help of indienova. You can help Rhythm Doctor Wiki by expanding it.
