kid speaks for me

solid impressionistic renderings, kid

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

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.

Seven more live shows released, all from 2016-2018:

AE_LIVE 2016/2018

that's odd. i saw these on boomkat, £5 each, no multi-purchase option. sent to ae store and same. so it's good there is here

they have been for sale since 2020 but now on more streaming services

although tax is extra 8(

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

do they play with the lights on nowadays?

lights on, comfy chairs, mug of horlicks.

lights on, comfy chairs, mug of horlicks.

Lights low, bean bag chairs, and a dose of ketamine sounds even better

ooh all new set

Shane chatting on twitch ATM

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.

was that announced on WATMM? xp

hilarious live video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFC99of_SRQ

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

lol "a quick AMA" and it's like 5 hours. typical Autechre

checked out zK based on that, it's great.

his house looks interesting!

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?

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

anyway, tonight i noticed that next year is 30 years since the first lp. 30 years.

there's been another twitch ama too.

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

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.

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?

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"

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 just want elseq on CD

I'm also unable to process Sean with hair

Whiney and Ponzi OTM

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)

I have a million things to do but I still plan to watch or at least listen to this entire AMA, fuck it all

i’ll listen to that ama for sure, want to hear him answer about the dead

also, re elseq, fourthed in agreement on a cd issue

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

True but vinyl seems ahistorical for cichli

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
