on sale, going fast!

I was in my morning meeting when the tickets went on sale, if I hadn't been looking at twitter at the same time I'd have had no idea, thanks warp and autechre mailing lists! I got in the queue and as soon as I got to the front my name was called in the meeting. 'Er, just buying tickets for my favourite band!' - 'Is it autechre?' - 'Yes' - 'Oh I was going to get some!' - 'Me too!'. We all got some but too late for stalls or mid circle.

Oh to work in an office where people even now who autechre is, let alone being fans. You lead a charmed life, ledge!

I was a bit surprised but we're all developers and some make their own music so kind of the target demographic!
― ledge, Friday, 11 March 2022 13:56 (two years ago) link
They're all a lot younger than me so it's good to know that it's not just an old man's game. And I get to boast that I've seen ae live seven times already.

Let us know when they're hiring!

I ordered the Chiastic/LP5 reissues at my local shop and wound up realizing that I've actually never said their name out loud before
― frogbs, Friday, 11 March 2022 14:36 (two years ago) link
Ha, that's actually fascinating to consider. I imagine the vast majority of Autechre discourse is online, lol, but assuming a bunch of Autechre fans ever got together to talk Autechre in real life, how would they even go about doing it when half the tracks are unpronounceable?

There's some discussion of pronunciation, inevitably, on Gonkcast.
― eatandoph (Neue Jesse Schule), Friday, 11 March 2022 16:51 (two years ago) link
I wonder if people at Autechre shows ever shout requests.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 11 March 2022 17:05 (two years ago) link
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK"
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Friday, 11 March 2022 17:45 (two years ago) link
They just spell out the titles in Unicode glyph numbers and everyone’s down with it

xxpost I bet they have a Free Bird cover prepared just in case but nobody has ever shouted it at them.

Ledge, I love your anecdote there.

From 1997 to 2010 if I found anyone who genuinely liked Autechre I was shocked and made a new friend immediately. Now it seems they're everywhere. Last time I went to a show (2015?) it was sold out and was shocked at the reasonable m/f ratio. Love that they've found a new generation of fans and seemingly are making their best music now. One of the few aspects of this timeline that give me hope

lotta Bobby Hill energy coming off this kid
― frogbs, Monday, 28 March 2022 13:27 (two years ago) link
I recall seeing a Bobby Hill meme where he's listening to music on his headphones (video dubs in Fleur from Exai or something) and Hank listens for a few seconds and leaves muttering "that boy ain't right"
That kid fucking rules.

Live tonight at primavera, what are the chances of an illicit livestream?

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") :-)
― StanM, Sunday, 5 June 2022 19:44 (one year ago) link
lol "a quick AMA" and it's like 5 hours. typical Autechre
― frogbs, Sunday, 5 June 2022 19:56 (one year ago) link
checked out zK based on that, it's great.

didn't he mention moving to Norway?
― StanM, Monday, 6 June 2022 10:24 (one year ago) link
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.
― Noel Emits, Monday, 6 June 2022 14:07 (one year ago) link
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
anyway, tonight i noticed that next year is 30 years since the first lp. 30 years.

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

I think ILM alone would gladly be enough demand
