Xxp hooray! Even if they come on at 4am I'm going. Right, off to do some murders.

"oneum" is conjuring up images of some massive metal/stone stylus with several pointed contact points, moving over a stone surface and touching down intermittently, chiseling/scraping the surface, creating those sharp, combed chords and lines of sharp tonal color. lot of heavy friction and sharp, laser-thin vibrations. like nails on a chalkboard, but the abrasiveness is super clean and brilliant. but it's like they spread out all of the good tracks through the five eps, so it's hard to favor one over another (can't pick just one).. though #1 is pretty solid throughout.

I loved it when they remixed Earth by basically tidying up the sound quality

idk if i ever played the whole of kesto in its entirety but i played the entirety of this the other evening while drinking a nice bottle of burgundy and it was a viable use of a cold shit evening in november (or june as it mendaciously claims to be)

and probably read about some serial killers too, though one scarcely needs herr von weingarten's encouragement in order to do that

I get a very Confield-esque feeling from a lot of these, in that they seem less like pieces of music made by humans and more like elemental forces in action - but then there are the superb beats in latentcall and the teasing way they disappear for a good long portion before slamming back, very human and very appealing.
― I've had Eno, ugh (ledge)
Confield is a good reference point, there's a strong sense of interdependency between the elements within each track, moreso than on Exai where some of the tracks felt somewhat edited, layered, even pieced together in some instances. with elseq there is a stronger feeling of process-based events occurring, as in nature (mold, ecological cause-effect etc.)

in the weingartenian imagination all autechre titles are in caps lock but surprisingly few irl autechre tracks are

scroll through for a link to a well-recorded (audience) set in 2010
marked progression from 'beat'-driven/propulsive material to the more ______ sort of sound art of their recent phase (last couple of years).. set is banging, regardless
― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Monday, 6 June 2016 04:26 (seven years ago) link
Yeah I checked that set yesterday. The banging bits are great, sounds like a party.
― Noel Emits, Monday, 6 June 2016 15:52 (seven years ago) link
Ah,RFH for the London show? For ledge who was asking. Might not be such a party ;)/ Come to Brighton, but watch out for crumbling Victorian terraces overhead.
― Noel Emits, Monday, 6 June 2016 15:56 (seven years ago) link
i kinda like the idea of a nice sit-down autechre gig over, say, a freezing 4am car park. #iamold
― koogs, Monday, 6 June 2016 16:12 (seven years ago) link
a matinee would be better still
― koogs, Monday, 6 June 2016 16:13 (seven years ago) link
Where did you hear that? Nothing in warp or RFH sites!
― I've had Eno, ugh (ledge), Monday, 6 June 2016 17:17 (seven years ago) link
But yep my days of freezing 4am car parks are over and I am ok with that.
― I've had Eno, ugh (ledge), Monday, 6 June 2016 17:18 (seven years ago) link
Typical ae gig = 2 techno crusties going mental, 200 bald men standing calmly scratching their chins.
― I've had Eno, ugh (ledge), Monday, 6 June 2016 17:21 (seven years ago) link
Target demographic all about the comfy seats at this point apparently ;-)
Well the seafront in late November isn't a carpark but it is likely to be somewhat bracing. 7pm is kind of a matinee, though

I've finally come round to the ludicrous fecundity of elyc6 0nset. c7b2 is still an obstacle, so abrasive, actually scary in places. Not recommended as the last thing before going to bed.
― I've had Eno, ugh (ledge), Wednesday, 8 June 2016 08:07 (seven years ago) link
elcy6 strikes me as the kind of thing you'd want to hear once, like certain films where the plot twist is what matters most.
― TARANTINO! (dog latin), Wednesday, 8 June 2016 08:11 (seven years ago) link
Nah it is endlessly fascinating, a self-contained ecosystem, the complex interdependency of flora and fauna, predators and prey, parasitism, symbiosis, decay and regrowth.

RFH in London indeed, good inside knowledge. Early tickets for mailing list subscribers only: s.warp.net/ae-list
― I've had Eno, ugh (ledge), Wednesday, 8 June 2016 12:54 (seven years ago) link
that implies 72 hour advance sales on 10th june
the southbank centre website implies tickets are on sale NOW for its members:http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/support-us/membership/priority-booking/autechre

oh well, lucky for some.
― I've had Eno, ugh (ledge), Wednesday, 8 June 2016 13:56 (seven years ago) link
can't see rfh members snapping up all the ticket tbh
i am tempted by this, but not enough to sign up to a mailing list.

Could he (Kanye) be Autechre's MC for the fabled hip-hop album? Or if you got the call would you contribute to one of his records?
Sean Booth: Oh fuck no! [cracks up laughing, then pauses to think] But you know what? If he did call, I think I'd do it, just to get into the studio with him and see his process. I think he's an interesting guy. Psychologically interesting. I want to nail it, find out what strain of narcissism he's got, or how much he's taking the piss.
But no, there is a list of MCs I'd work with. I don't want to start on it because then it's insulting to name one and not all the others. It's a fair old list. There's at least five or six that we'd 100% work with if they approached us, and a bunch of other interesting ones. Just lately I've been listening to a lot of Westside Gunn. He's from Buffalo NY, and it's really thugged out but really brainy at the same time. It's quite Ghostface, he's obviously really into Wu-Tang, but it's a lot slower, and stylised and weird and amazing to me. I'd work with him in a heartbeat, but I don't think he'd go near us—he's just from another world, and I think his music probably sounds a lot better without my input anyway. Roc Marciano—he's another one, he's fucking amazing but I'd probably ruin it. Ahhh, see I'm doing it already, see what I mean? I'd work with Jean Grae in an instant, too. She's incredible, she's a little bit hipster now—just in terms of her audience, not as a person—but her flow is the best in the world, she doesn't get nearly enough credit. There's a few others.

great interview. nice to learn that they use each other's software, making each track a collaboration
― imago, Wednesday, 8 June 2016 23:44 (seven years ago) link
Great interview.
someone dumped a load of Max Martin tracks on me to try and explain what he was about, and it seemed really, really alien to me, like Nazi youth music or something. I think everyone has a different idea of what weird is
