Spending some quality time with PLUS this morning after a long time away from it and it … opened up, really working for me in a way it didn’t before.

the AMA vids are still up, for now, quite interesting ("Plus should have been an EP but I got greedy") :-)

didn't he mention moving to Norway?

having listened to the primavera set i have a question i would have asked on the ama (lol as if): why don't their live sets slap any more?
― buffalo tomozzarella (ledge), Monday, 6 June 2022 12:23 (one year ago) link
Maybe you need to imbibe more horlicks.
Sounds like there's more going on in this set because Mac M1s.

recent bedtime procedure has been to put a playlist of favourite and infrequently-listened-to autechre on shuffle and set the sleep timer to 60 minutes see how far i get

Here it is. 6 1/2 hours this time lmao
I skipped around a lot (top comment has the timestamps of specific questions) but he seems like a great dude. very socially progressive, willing to talk about anything, also answers a ton of gear questions
reissues of Confield & Draft are apparently done, but he's unsure if they'll go further. says it's up to Warp to see if there's any demand. I'd be bummed if that was it - Untilted/Quaristice/Oversteps/Exai/elseq are all amazing and I'd buy them in a heartbeat

― The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Thursday, 4 August 2022 21:12 (one year ago) link
I think ILM alone would gladly be enough demand
I can't remember when they started being so forthcoming and interactive. Maybe they always were and I never really noticed? Anyway, I love the transparency, I love how they make such unique, mysterious music, but then seem to be such good guys totally willing to answer questions for hours.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 4 August 2022 21:21 (one year ago) link
I guess it also requires some degree of confidence in what they are up to. You could give someone the same rig, the same gear, but it just wouldn't be the same music. It would be like giving a drummer John Bonham's set. Good luck, you know?
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 4 August 2022 21:22 (one year ago) link
their humbleness is also something to behold, you'd think people making music like this would be fairly pretentious and all "yeah some people just won't get it" about it but instead they say stuff like "we thought it was shit too but eventually we liked it enough to release"
― frogbs, Thursday, 4 August 2022 21:27 (one year ago) link
would be great if they could reissue the envane and cichlisuite 2x12s

imo those double packs are crucial for understanding the progression from “artificial intelligence” type idm practitioners to max msp generative music & granular synthesis auteurs

I only caught the last half hour of the AMA on Saturday so thanks for posting, frogbs!
Sean answers my question "Grateful Dead: love or hate?" at 6:09:25
I liked his response, not at all what I expected him to say (i.e., "sorry, I think they're shit" lol)
― J. Sam, Thursday, 4 August 2022 23:32 (one year ago) link
I have a million things to do but I still plan to watch or at least listen to this entire AMA, fuck it all
― Paul Ponzi, Thursday, 4 August 2022 23:34 (one year ago) link
i’ll listen to that ama for sure, want to hear him answer about the deadalso, re elseq, fourthed in agreement on a cd issue

I'll dip into these, not sure how far I'll get

I know people love overwrought "creative" descriptions of Ae tracks so here goes - both the melody and rhythm of "9 chr0" is like those damn rabbits in Mario, they are constantly hopping away from you, by which I mean whatever you expect them to do they do something else. nothing repeats, everything seems to be random. actually concentrating on it hurts me small brain

xp Jealous! I found a used EP7.2 in the wild and I cherish it. Shining star in my Ae collection is the Are We R Why / We R Are Why single though
― octobeard, Friday, 5 August 2022 06:23 (one year ago) link
oh and the art on each was completely different from the cd!
― the late great, Friday, 5 August 2022 06:23 (one year ago) link
When I first heard 9 chr0 I thought there was some kind of repeating blues type chord progression to the whole thing. xps
― Noel Emits, Friday, 5 August 2022 09:22 (one year ago) link
Like some heavy stoner riffing done with tuned feedback and comb filters instead of guitars.
― Noel Emits, Friday, 5 August 2022 09:25 (one year ago) link
just saw this on the youtube comments thread ama that someone spreadshot (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n9ZMCbzld6EvMVr0u7P3OBQNiUfmV9CNF53cKpIq_iQ/edit#gid=0)
"you know, this could be a funny question but like we're just asking you stuff, but are there any questions you have for us?""yeah i really need to know if the ship of theseus is fungible or not. asking for a friend."
i lolled.
― dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Friday, 5 August 2022 09:28 (one year ago) link
I only listened to a little of the AMA (because it's really long lol) but someone asked him if he would ever consider vocals in Autechre and he laughs and says some people will hate this answer but ... yes! And he suggested *he* would want to sing! But he also seemed to recognize that want and should are different things, so I doubt we ever get that (at least as recognizable singing). However, I would love to hear a collaboration with a good/expressive drummer improvising around their melodies while they simultaneously sample, chop up and rearrange the playing. Not sure how it would work, but could be cool as a one-off or something, like the time I saw Yo La Tengo with Susie Ibarra.

? I have cichli on vinyl from its original release
I have nothing to back up what I said, cichli just feels digital to me
― death generator (lukas), Friday, 5 August 2022 15:01 (one year ago) link
Which I know was tlg's point.But late 90s idm ... people were buying that stuff, by and large, on compact disc, is what my infalliable intuition tells me.
― death generator (lukas), Friday, 5 August 2022 16:55 (one year ago) link
don’t think you’re wrong, but assume that was the case in all genres outside of, like club-oriented dance singles and diy punk or hardcore!
― the late great, Friday, 5 August 2022 17:26 (one year ago) link
yeah I get that, I spend a lot of time in CD stores in the late 90s and I don't remember ever seeing vinyl unless it was like, a stack of dollar polka records in the corner. I have a copy of Big Willie Style and it kinda freaks me out b/c that CD was everywhere and it never occurred to me that they made a vinyl version as well. I guess it was for DJs.
― frogbs, Friday, 5 August 2022 17:33 (one year ago) link
I was on a DJ promo mailing list for a few years and was sent Anvil Vapre, Envane and EP7 12"s but I bought the CDs cos they were easier to play. No point or argument, just privileged times I guess.
― Noel Emits, Friday, 5 August 2022 17:50 (one year ago) link
One of the early records, I think it was the Anti EP, said “incomplete without surface noise” on the sleeve
― assert (matttkkkk), Friday, 5 August 2022 22:31 (one year ago) link
Tri Repetae I think -- they make a big deal out of that on the Gonkcast podcast
