It appears the visuals are taking into account the contents of the chat, so people are posting crazy emojis and ascii art which then is incorporated into the generated visuals which then alters the timbre and flow of the music. This is some seriously badass Ae generative fan interaction music.

Graphics really remind me of those plug-ins w/ visualizers that you could get for winamp et al circa... '99? '00? Except with those they (claimed to) move to the beat, whereas here that's well, not that easy :)

You are probably thinking of Milkdrop, originally a plugin for Winamp, which was spectacularly effective at creating sound reactive visuals that indeed were functional (used FFTs to translate freq ranges into parameters to adjust various plugins' visual states)

It was so efficient at what it did for its time and so effective with its conveyance of synesthesia, that I'd say only in the last 5 years or so have concert visuals really surpassed it consistently as a satisfying aesthetic accompaniment.

That was it, Milkdrop! :)

Milkdrop was so great. I wish Spotify had some sort of Milkdrop mod on it

Gah, that went fast! Great news though!

I got an insufficient stock notice when I tried to order the vinyl, but I tried again and it went through ok

\o/

on twitch a while ago sean said they had two albums ready; yesterday warp tweeted a link to the store, i had a look at watmm to see if anything was going down and someone said they knew someone at a printers who were prepping two covers, one orange one green...

neith moon (ledge), Wednesday, 2 September 2020 14:23 (four years ago) link

uhhh... meant script there, not strike through!

Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 2 September 2020 14:23 (four years ago) link

Nice wee heads up ledge, looking forward to the green release too

Looks like Bleep still has vinyl copies: https://bleep.com/release/202853-autechre-sign

just keeps saying insufficient stock for me

between this and the Coil reissue I've learned that I basically need to monitor my email constantly if I want these things on vinyl

vinyl on bleep seems to have sold out in less than 30 minutes. that's what I get for making breakfast I guess

Paul Ponzi, Wednesday, 2 September 2020 14:38 (four years ago) link

I am 100% down with a regular-length Ae album, I must say. Pre-ordered the vinyl!

Wonder what the name signifies

doorstep jetski (dog latin), Wednesday, 2 September 2020 14:38 (four years ago) link

Buncha hipsters!

pomenitul, Wednesday, 2 September 2020 14:39 (four years ago) link

Lol Pom

Take Aaliyah's advice to heart Paul, try again. Worked for me, ordering the vinyl.

Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 2 September 2020 14:40 (four years ago) link

Paul - go to bleep.com and try there. I got one through there. The link to preorder on Bleep through AE's website doesn't seem to be redirecting to the right place

Anyway, I'm glad to hear them do normal length things again. Been a bit overwhelmed by all they've done over the last 4-5 years

frogbs, Wednesday, 2 September 2020 14:41 (four years ago) link

Don't mind me, I'm just jealous because I don't own a record player. :(

pomenitul, Wednesday, 2 September 2020 14:41 (four years ago) link

8. gr4

should've called it gr8

neith moon (ledge), Wednesday, 2 September 2020 14:44 (four years ago) link

gr4 ft. gr4040

Monte Scampino (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 2 September 2020 14:45 (four years ago) link

some of the titles look similar to tracks from previous albums

doorstep jetski (dog latin), Wednesday, 2 September 2020 14:47 (four years ago) link

I know it's pointless to speculate but that sure looks like the Oversteps tracklisting to me

frogbs, Wednesday, 2 September 2020 14:47 (four years ago) link

Still vinyl copies available to preorder at Boomkat

I have a hard time believing that WARP are going to make this a particularly limited release, I suspect this is temporary unavailable rather than sold out forever

I am using your worlds, Wednesday, 2 September 2020 14:49 (four years ago) link

Thanks for the tips, everyone! Got a copy on Boomkat before I saw the new posts, intl shipping and all. Oh well. Worth it!

> Wonder what the name signifies

what number is this lp anyway, i've lost count. exai (XI) was 11. was elseq 12. nts sessions?

first time i've seen a tshirt in my size in stock and i don't like the design 8(

koogs, Wednesday, 2 September 2020 15:23 (four years ago) link

I can't imagine wanting to buy autechre on vinyl tbh

anyway I think it's cute that they have a new EP coming out :)

unpaid intern at the darvo institute (Simon H.), Wednesday, 2 September 2020 15:29 (four years ago) link

I thought it was a single?

pomenitul, Wednesday, 2 September 2020 15:47 (four years ago) link

I don't like the tshirt design either. weird font

Paul Ponzi, Wednesday, 2 September 2020 15:52 (four years ago) link

looks like the AMD Ryzen logo

doorstep jetski (dog latin), Wednesday, 2 September 2020 16:07 (four years ago) link

yeah didn't love the shirt. bought it anyway.

neith moon (ledge), Wednesday, 2 September 2020 16:45 (four years ago) link

could probably bootleg myself one of the nts aute-chre shirts.

oh, redbubble... they have some nice tri-repetae t-shirts:

There it is. I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

pomenitul, Wednesday, 2 September 2020 17:16 (four years ago) link

i'm a weirdo but i would wear that shirt.

i usually shy away from wearing clothes that are a walking advertisement, but in this case, you know

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 2 September 2020 17:25 (four years ago) link

Norman Records seems to have a preorder of the vinyl.

As discussed upthread I am anticipating! Got a copy of Untilted a while back, and it is groovy.

eatandoph (Neue Jesse Schule), Wednesday, 2 September 2020 18:33 (four years ago) link

I would absolutely wear that crappy bootleg Tri Repetae shirt

lukas, Wednesday, 2 September 2020 18:37 (four years ago) link

i love the cover of sign. looking forward to the day in november i'll get to stare at it while super stoned for 15 minutes that are really just 2 minutes.

it looks a lot like Orbital's Wonky

feel like this is their only album cover with like, a real color on it

frogbs, Wednesday, 2 September 2020 19:00 (four years ago) link

since amber, maybe

how were these circles that aren't actually circles made

Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Wednesday, 2 September 2020 19:10 (four years ago) link

I already can't wait to poll this

Paul Ponzi, Wednesday, 2 September 2020 19:46 (four years ago) link

They're from the one-six tour t-shirts, it's a hyper abstraction of lower case ae.

That's a good spot. But there appears to be a third glyph in there (at least to me) that's not just due to overlap
