This is wonderful.

Twenty minutes in, just delightful.

I hear quite a bit of reworked older stuff, e.g. Altibzz / Altichyre elements.
Just found out Ae are playing in my tiny city of Hobart, Tasmania in June - woo!

delightful. it just keeps on going

You know it loops after two hours... but three new two hour sets every Thursday for the next three weeks.

yeah, just like "it's gonna rain"

um https://autechre.bleepstores.com/

Lmao, 12xLP

Lucky I'm not into vinyl. Do I need the CDs given that I don't even listen to CDs any more?

Ans: no.

i've not even got the money for the WAVs just at the moment - maybe later in the year

so is this like a new set of live records such as AE_LIVE

might have to plonk down the cash for these then

"Physical version will ship approximately three months after the final show airs"

That soundcloud saved my sanity this afternoon. Great stuff. Soothing.

I hope these will be four unique sets.. the first one is a grower, there are some really badass + beautiful parts. Kinda stoked to have a proper Autechre album (8 CDs!) to put on the stereo, oh.

If you buy one of the formats you get downloads of the tracks straight after the broadcast, so part 1 is available and consists of 9 tracks.

I know, looks like a pisstake but it's the real deal.

Gonk steady, baby
That's what I feel now
Just call the song exactly what it is
Just move your hips with a feeling from side to side
Sit yourself down in your car and take a ride
While you're moving, gonk steady

Almost signing up to WATMM to inform those guys that Humpty is NOT a fucking gonk.

I stopped going there (watmm) for a while and checking in recently for this, I was dismayed at the primary school sexual innuendo in every second post, wtf

from IDM fans of all people, tsk tsk tsk

Pre-ordered the CD version. Will I ever listen to it all the way through? Sure, since you get the downloads of each set the day after they air, or something like that, so it can be absorbed in chunks. To be totally honest, I mostly bought it because it will look pretty on my shelf. (And I'll probably forget all about it during that three-month window while I'm waiting for it to arrive.)

guys what's your favorite of the AE_LIVE albums or all they all kinda the same

All these live releases... they're turning into Pearl Jam

Implying Pearl Jam's live albums are any good… (Are they?)

xp

If you like Pearl Jam, sure.

guys what's your favorite of the AE_LIVE albums or all they all kinda the same

they're all pretty similar, the last few shove a few more developments into the same space iirc. the project to listen to them all and categorise the various movements is on hold... that's why i'm pleased the new ones are split into tracks, much more manageable.

++++

in all seriousness, while I love the last two official albums, I'd love it if their next phase were to be about reigning things in a bit. I just don't have the time or the patience to listen to all this material. Ae themselves are wary of that, and given the density of the material they're putting out they're sympathetic to the idea that it's not fair on listeners to be faced with this barrage of new material that gets released

Ha.

Ev.n F10

"We wanted to go back to the basics and make a record that was just the sound of two guys, sitting on their computers, dicking around with Ableton..."

VIII+4.706gY

(this is fun)

yeah goddammit Ae stop releasing so much excellent music how dare you?

It's all good, but jeez, I'm still wrapping my head round Confield on the best of days

They’re a jam band now, I’m here for it

^^^

Perl Jam

There's a name for yer open mic algorave event.

L-drly W.n Be-HIND t_Counter na.Small 2wn

this works great for me cos i have no idea what stupid Pearl Jam songs anybody's riffing on

except "Even Flow", i knew that one

i don't want to know tho, not asking for clarification

#y.fXyMPh&dl.MM.tm

stop

Googled 'pearl jam autechre mashup', no relevant results. Kind of disappointed in the internet now tbh.

IDM? PUT A GONK ON IT

Appreciating on a somewhat nerdy tech level the transformations the blippy riff kn 'four of seven' goes through, ending up in some territory like Stephen Mallinder's 'Length Of Time.'

The plucky arpeggiated bass sound reminded me of 'Shari Vari' or 'M3000' by Mandre.

That one, 'l3 ctrl' and 'gonk steady one' are the keepers atm. Long tracks but there's some sick stuff in there.

yeah just got my ticket to see the guys at the DARK MOFO festival in June!

That festival looks pretty amazing, never been to Tassie either - would be a perfect excuse!

Looks great but... I'd need to get a flight to Tasmania.

I grew up here from age 10-30 - in my teens I could not wait to get away, we were the dog end of the earth and no music or art came here. And then around the time I moved back in 2008, a kid from the tough end of town grew up and got rich working the odds ratios of European track betting - legally - and used his enormous wealth to build a Bond villain style art gallery dug into the rock under a vineyard. And filled it with transgressive major art. And made it free admission for Tasmanians - any time, as often as you want. And every year has curators put together massive music and art festivals in summer and winter, but only fringe and oddball music. It's run 6 times and I have seen Fuck Buttons, Sunn O))), Earth, Mayhem, Tim Hecker, Swans, Ben Frost, Philip Glass, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Grouper, Klara Lewis, BORIS, Death Grips, The Necks, Flying Lotus, The Drones, Mogwai, etc., etc., etc. all in my little town of Hobart. And massive art installations in festival grounds, and so on. It turns the dog end of the earth into the centre of the earth for a week in the dead of the southern winter. And anytime I like I can load the kids in the car and drive 20 minutes to MONA and see incredible art, for free. The effect on the city and its feel has been unbelievable, it's almost too good to be true.
So yeah, this year Autechre, Merzbow, William Basinski, Alice Glass, Zola Jesus, Laurie Anderson, and on and on. Life's tough.
