Hey, I'm currently working on this live set, PACh ArcEL, with heavy use of the Machinedrum along with microKorg and Alesis Ion. I record the jams then edit and mix them together using Ableton Live. (Yes, this was heavily influenced by seeing Autechre on Monday :P) Tell me what you think of this excerpt.
Thanks, Future Image

well, It's made by someone who knows how to do it but - "(Yes, this was heavily influenced by seeing Autechre on Monday :P)" - and that's way to obvious... make it sound y o u instead.

Yeah I know, half of the techniques used here are just Ae rip offs, but I've kinda run out of stuff to rip off now (heh) so I expect the next few additions to this project will be more my stuff.

I found that really enjoyable. Sure, it sounds a bit like Autechre, but I don't see what's so wrong with that when loads of music sounds like other music out there (and doesn't even do it well). Great sounds and beats.

Haha "PACh ArcEL" is actually a malformed version of the phrase "Packshot Balance" - I keep a txt files full of possible names and phrases for songs.
I have a PDA which has a Transcribe function that works very badly. It's great for really screwing up words. I kept writing in "Packshot Balance" and then the malformed version of that, then the next version etc. until it displayed:
"PACh ArcEL"
The last thing I would try and do is to make the titles sound Autechrean, that's not my style. I pick up phrases and words from spelling mistakes, errors in software and things people around me say, I don't go around naming them after roundabouts or cities.
Perhaps I sound like Autechre because I use the Elektron Machinedrum. That would mean that the Knife, Air, Venetian Snares, Milanese, The Chemical Brothers all sound like Autechre. The Alesis Ion and microKorg AFAIK Ae have never used, so perhaps not.
I made another part last night and it's as far away from Autechre as could be (while keeping the style IDM and at 171 BPM). Could almost be Tangerine Dream and Vangelis deciding to do IDM together.
Just out of interest, would anyone pay money (around £5?) for a CDr of the full album once it's finished?

"Haha "PACh ArcEL" is actually a malformed version of the phrase "Packshot Balance" - I keep a txt files full of possible names and phrases for songs."
"Perhaps I sound like Autechre because I use the Elektron Machinedrum. That would mean that the Knife, Air, Venetian Snares, Milanese, The Chemical Brothers all sound like Autechre."
...would it mean that? Then w h y on earth DOESN'T "the Knife, Air, Venetian
Snares, Milanese, The Chemical Brothers" sound like ae at all?
(I guess they want another sound)
you know, it doesn't matter what you use or h o w you've made it
- if it sounds like ae it's still sounds like ae no matter what....
(ae already explored weird titles and their form of elektron weirdness,
now make your own explorations, retry if it just sounds like ae.
But hey - I have no doubt over that it's a real challenge to
NOT sound like ae if you twiddle around on the mduw, those sounds
are getting quickly worn out if not taken further)
"Just out of interest, would anyone pay money (around £5?)

of course! new, original and great music is always worth supporting!
(btw, gack's music as jokiel & c-drive is worth supporting too,
though it's not original at all - just extremely good and full of charm....)

please don't compare yourself.
also, stop trying to dig out of the hole of autechre comparisions. people don't think you sound like autechre because you use the same equipment, they say it because you do.
i think you're just a bit starstruck. imitation is the highest form of flattery i guess.

hmm those comparisons were the closest things to what I've recorded but listening to them again today they aren't at all really... I don't know what I sound like which is a seriously good thing. I'm not trying to imitate anyone, sure I'm influenced by different things and those influences take form in different ways, but anyways. also listening again to it, is the part I've posted really that much like Ae anyway?
I never thought of Parcel Arch :P

I think the name thing is a hard one, because often this music isn't 'about' anything, it's just organized sound, so a literal name (or even a name at all) seems a bit pointless and irrelevant. Then again, if you're going to invent words, they can just end up sounding like Autechre attempts. :-)
Congrats on getting on the tribute album, btw! Saw it in this thread.

tell ya what, if i had heard this sort of thing back in the day when i was doing music, i would have shat my pants.
i think this style has finally clicked for me. its all about loosening the hell up. the genre has seemed all but suffocated in recent years.
autechres current direction seems to distance itself from the electronic rut. maybe no one cares anymore, but thats fine, nor do the artists!

Aww damn you Rob! I was saving that 'til it came out!!! :P
Definitely agree on the name front. You can start going into the whole "what actually is music" with this though. I've had a weekend of that.
