Well, it is okay, it isn't particularly awful, but there's
lots of better minimal/ambient music out there. With this
kind of music, if the atmosphere doesn't suck you in to
begin with, there's nothing much you can do, is there? I
actually even prefer their collaborations with the Hafler
Trio.

couldnt agree more.
in my case i do feel the atmosphere draws me in.
it does so more on sub range 7 though.

due to it's length and the general boringness of the track,
I'd probably say perlence subrage 3-36 is autechre's
absolute worst tune ever.

to me Perlence subrange 6-36 sounds like a distant cousin to
Rale with all that loud reverb going on.

or to compare it in another way...

it sounds like it's AE's take on Brian Eno's Music for
Airports ambient concept. A lengthy track that is meant to
be repeated ad infinitum.

I severely doubt it (cos I doubt Quadrange would be
accepted
as a proper release by them) but you don't think Ae are
trying to end their contract with Warp to move on to
another
label or maybe even start their own?


I can see the problems Ae have with Warp, clearly they don't
have enough artistic freedom, Warp obviously made them pick
the most commericial tracks for Quaristice which is already
being hailed as their "sell-out" album ( you can already
hear all the adverts in post-production using Simmm(bitious
mix) as the soundtrack) and the demands upon them to
produce upwards of 50 tracks now per album most be taking
its toll, I'm sure they need another label in addition to
Skam and are frustrated at not being able to release what
they really want to or have the chance to play 3 day long DJ
sets. I think as their contract fulfilment they'll release
all the Quaristice related material on one massive 18' vinyl
and the accompanying deck to play it on and completely
bankrupt Warp and make the Analord binder look like an
underpriced bargain.

Perlence subrange 6-36 is a MAJESTIC finale to the
embarressment of riches of Quaristuff, I cannot get enough
of it, and for all the little snipet ambient tracks that
poke their heads in then disspear, flitting into the the
forest of Ae's mind(s), the fact that this epic holds its on
for nearly an hour is something to be cerished, cheered,
encouraged and saluted. This is the music that got me
into "this sort of music" in the first place,
atmosphere, haunting sounscapes, triggers for the
imagination, the creation of vast fields of space, the joy
of music.

If you can't just enjoy it and your sat there scratching
your nascent stubble trying to work out which reverb they
use, you are fucked for the rest of your musical life.

Hoyhoy,

I'm new to this forum, discovered it while trying to find
info about the Quadrange release. Saw there were a couple of
other folks from Norway? Anyone from Oslo?

I been really getting into ambient music lately so I love
this new direction Autechre is taking. Nice to listening
while doing artwork. Been a huge fan of Autechre for about 4
years now.

Subrange 6-36 (I got the MP3 version) seems to have some
weird distortion at the deep bass, is this on the flac
version as well? Cause it sounds like a blown speaker and
sorta ruins the smooth feel of the track.

I also experienced this distortion on my brother's speakers,
no doubt it will sound fine when I get back to my rig.

Eno ambience > Ae ambience.

I'm sorry, but Eno totally masters that genre. You can't
even compare ambient artists to his stuff, it's killer.

I'm listening on dynamic studio headphones so the sound on
subrange 6-36 is probably just a part of the track. Maybe
I'll get used to it, thought it does sound like bad
distortion. Other then that I'm really pleased with this
Quadrange release and think it's a cool way of releasing
music. Maybe more bands will try this subscription style.

BTW how can I get that Blyz Castl track you guys keep
ranting about? If it's a Japan release exclusive would it
not be alright to post the download link directly on this
forum? They can't exactly expect us to acquire a Japanese
iTunes account.
Also where can I find that awesome live track? Didn't get to
see them this year, stuck home in Oslo with the family.
Heard the Vancouver show was a complete fiasco.

Haha I'm a lurker!

SEAN: what should we do to fill the 50 more minutes we
promised on quad range?

ROB: what about that time we made a loop of perlence and let
it play for an hour where you mashed keys on top through
reverb?

SEAN: hey not a bad idea! but isnt that the one with some
really jarring stuttering / clipping effect on the entire
time?

ROB: yes but most people will either think we did it on
purpose or convince themselves that it sounds good

SEAN: Gold!

The distortion/clipping is what makes things a harder listen
for me. I'm glad to hear other people are getting it; I
thought that maybe it was just my headphones. Whether it's
deliberate or not is irrelevant; I just find it distracting
and ugly sounding. :-) It does sound like the sort of
distortion you get when you're getting carried away with an
ambient jam and haven't watched your levels, but whatever.

I just bought a new "executive" chair and some new heaphones
and I dig the shit out Perlence Subrange 6-36, I like going
with the flow, I like heaing the very distant bits of detail
that waft in and away as if you're lost out at sea and you
just catch wind of some faraway snippet, and those meteroic
markers of time you call clipping are like hot coals
dropping into the vast ocean of... Subrange 6-36. Best
ambient experience of Long Time.

I thought clipping would "fade" out the rest of the sound,
if it was real clipping? It doesn't do that on any of the
soundsystems I've been trying this out on. So it must be
intended - I mean - and it seems to be under "control". It's
a pretty nasty sound, I agree, but it doesn't ruin the track
for me in any way. It reminds me a bit of a bass sound
effect thingy they used on a remix they did for Scorn way
back...."falling" was the name of the track... awesome
track! So it's just a sound, knowhamsayin'...

And yes, welcome tiftof, fellow norseman! I clicked my way
into your website through your profile information and I
have to say that's some pretty awesome drawings and images
you've done there! You should all have a look. Well, you've

I guess it's time to get the whole deal. I've waited this
long because I don't like waiting for individual tracks. Now
I can get them all, which is nice. All these different
versions and jams need to be relistened to get the whole
point of this exercise (if there is a point). It seems
there's some breakdown of the very concept of album right
here. And the idea of CD-releases is clearly becoming less
dominant and more of a sideshow. Next, music in different
chunks, in weird little online distribution models...

But I admit, the album was fine when I first heard it, and
all these extra tracks make me really confused. Hard to say
what to think just yet.

no no, I haven't listened to any of these bleep tracks yet,
so I was just confused at the idea and concept of it. I
don't think it's even possible to listen to all of it in one
sitting (at LEAST there has to be a bathroom break). 140
minutes is like the operatic version of IDM. Add the whole
autechre catalogue circa 2008 and you have some 4 ridiculous
hours of music. There's some weird megalomania combined with
a need for repetition. It's called self-erasure. It's also a
form of pop art.

Actually now I know what this style is like: it's like Moby.
Yes, like Moby after "Play", when he released his Play
b-sides and then another album in that same style. He didn't
get out of this self-iteration mode, he never did. Moby
became a self-iterative loop, like a broken record. But
Autechre are playing it cool by not releasing multiple
albums to cover the same base. That means that in six months
they'll be totally over their "Play" phase and onto
something new.

Thank you fellow norseman!

I'm currently working as a concept artist at Storm studios
in Oslo which is really cool. You've probably heard of Peter
and the Wolf?

I think the clipping sound in Subrange 6-36 is conceptually
clever as it probably comes from automating the reverb
parameters, so it basically admits it's dependence of
digital reverberation.

Like all Autechre the more you listen to it the more you
like it. This track gives you that true ambient feeling of
zoning you out. Just try listening to Tkakanren right after
the whole 58 minutes of 6-36; gives you such a rush, since
your heart rate has been slowed down.

Perlence subrange 6-36 is excellent imo.
I hope Autechre do more of this stuff.
I'm going to put all the ambient tracks together from
Quaristice, and versions, and have perlence subrange 6-36 as
the last track.

So, since the final track wasn't the live set...

I wonder if their next move will be to do a pearl jam and
release a soundboard for every city of the tour. Each one
will contain an image of a square which represents the
city.

The sets will be released on 8 track only, and will be
available individually or by subscription. Only those
purchasing the subscription will also receive a custom 8
track player, which will be installed with an LE version of
Max/MSP and a Kaoss Pad so you can make your own custom
mixes as you listen. Both groups will also receive a
sticker and a frosty mug.

I've thought they've said they're not keen on releasing a
live album. Make your own live album, take all the
Quaristice related tracks, set Winamp to random, hire a
club, set them of, record it on you phone, upload it to
slsk, let Elsive convert it to Flac, job done.
