― moonship journey to baja, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 18:37 (sixteen years ago) link
the max/msp argument is pretty dumb. i mean, there's any number of ways to generate algorithmic music (with max/msp even), and lots of it doesn't sound at all like autechre (who, as far as i understand it, only partially incorporate generative stuff in their compositions).
― jermainetwo, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 18:59 (sixteen years ago) link
the first thing i thought was solstice which is twice a year, but they've munged it to be quarterly or maybe it was recorded around four solstice points over the past two years. how long has it been since the last lp?

Anterior - I hope this isn't real. That is the chintziest melody EVER. I guess it improves at around 6:33 w/the more detailed interplay of pulses, but I dunno. I hope this is fake
― Lowell N. Behold'n, Friday, 14 December 2007 04:13 (sixteen years ago) link
Well the tracklist put forth on this site doesn't mention any "Anterior." Note the number of 9s that appear in the song names.

I'm afraid its nowt to do with me! Unless R's been up to shit I dont know about.
― Trayce, Friday, 14 December 2007 06:28 (sixteen years ago) link
This Anterior track (which is quite long, and I wouldnt ezpect it to be so long with the amount of tracks supposed to be on the album) seems "chinzy" in the sense that it is lacking all the modulation expected from the sounds I'm hearing. But compared to Vi Scose Poise of confield, maybe it isn't lacking as much as I think. Overall, it sounds like IDM my friend makes so I don't think it's real. And it doesn't have any epic quality to it.
― CaptainLorax, Friday, 14 December 2007 08:33 (sixteen years ago) link
The first half of "quaristice" sounds related to either "square" or "four", and 9 is a square number. Or, it's a double album, 9 is twice 4.5, and 4.5 is (the midpoint of) the interstice between four (and five). Or or, I'm making complete rubbish up. Yeah, that last one.
(Why have none of my IDM nerd internet pals who've been so excited about the last few while I've been going "eh" said anything about this? Are ae finally over even among the DSP-spotting community?)

no I heard there was remixes and new stuff
― CaptainLorax, Monday, 7 July 2008 04:33 (fifteen years ago) link
what songs?
they put out 13 tracks (in high-res .mp3 and .flac formats, downloadable from bleep.com) that are mostly (lengthly, one track is approx. 59 minutes and very minimal) variations of the album tracks 'perlence' and '901010>>|-|'. There is a radical remix of the track 'the Plc', which is a highlight. It is also the first track that was released.
the regular album tracks are far more succinct and already contain most of the highlights. the only worthwhile track on the limited, 2xCD deluxe edition was an extended (and more developed) version of The Plc.

Out of any 2008 release that I spent a good chunk of time listening to, Quaristice is the one that completely dropped off the face of the Earth for me. And it was true for others, apparently - while 1678 other albums were mentioned in the 2008 Pazz+Jop list, Autechre makes no appearance.
Anyone still listening to this? What's the diagnosis (time of death, etc)?

but doesn't Pazz&Jop and other "best of year X" lists for that matter tend to favor albums that come out closer to the end of the year?
personally, I have listened to this album (and for that matter the new Squarepusher album) a lot this year (Itunes sez 11 times for Quaristice), and dug both records. But a certain number of folks that would have had more loyalty/interest say 5 years ago are just not noticing how truly strong these albums are.

I gave the album a good few listens and it didn't blow me away (tho' I certainly wouldn't say it's 'garbage') but then I basically overwhelmed myself by getting the album and the bonus disc and all the digital EPs and the Japanese bonus track - 45 tracks in total. Too much to take in. 'Altichyre' off the bonus disc is boooooootiful though.
