Is it possible that Autechre making money from cheap amateur
music?

For example how to distinguish art from amateur art?
Sometimes people pay millions for paintings which looks
scribble, just because those paintings are famous.

I like this post.

What the fuck is all this shit about Autechre not making
good melodies?? Seriously??? Sit the fuck down!! They made
"Bike", then they made "Eggshell", then they made "444".
Then they made "Flutter", which is a beautifully melodic
piece: work out an interpretation of "Flutter" on the piano
and you will see how masterful their melodic work can be.
Pay attention to the changes that happen.

Fuck, "Nine", "Yulquen" and "Piezo". That was a long time
ago. Now they do a new kind of sound. Sit down and listen to
it!!!!

Someone said that Oversteps was like Altibzz the album --
I'd said it's more like "Simmm" the album.

i just took a long walk outside in the snow, equipped with a
flashlight and Oversteps on the cans. It was good.
Then when i came back and listened to it on the car stereo.
It was gooder.

This album is a winner,
this album is a winner.

I don't want to sound rude or hurt your feelings but you're
being an idiot. Whate ever happened to subjectivity?

"For example how to distinguish art from amateur art? "

That's up to you.

i agree with this. there is no objective value to music. you
all must decide what you like and why, and personally its
better to just shut up about it.

yeah i know i said my opinion too but this is ae ffs.

Thats a problem we cant be completely subjective because as
soon you see world only through subjective prism and
automatically reject objective reality you are nihilist.
There is objective "truths" and there is subjective
"truths".

People, I claim, must see beauty in logic of art, and how
this art reflects in our minds and world, otherwise this art
is meaningless.

i feel i have been misunderstood.

what i meant with my previous posts can be justified reading
this topic - that listeners tend to like the more simple and
melodic tracks from years back instead of those new with a
forced "artistic" approach.

i'm not saying they are trying to hard. hell if they
wouldn't they hadn't released a few of the best electronic
albums ever. i just won't listen that often to this
particular record.

nothing to prove here, this is metaphysical and the beauty
of it is that it defies empiric logic. it exists solely for
the sake of discourse. a meme if you will. i'm flat out
saying, meaning is something the viewer invents by
experiencing something in order to not get crazy. that's how
we survive… art has nothing to do with survival, in fact
it's the exact opposite: it's there for its own sake, for
the aesthetics, or the sheer "beauty" of it.

you're saying we're using art as a mirror and you're right.
this mirror doesn't need to make sense though…

But I don't find this is the case with Autechre. They've
been into generative composition for a while now, just
didn't use it on their last few releases. All that boils
down to is maths, and AFAIK, they use equations from science
within their patches to control events. I saw something
about them using fluidity equations in a few Max patches.

You know that this was far from argument.

Art without science is impossible including music, because
music is built on science of sound.

Being able to distinguish art from non-art is one of the
ways for inferior individuals to get a chance in
reproduction if they manage to convince the females that
knowing art is an important part of being a valuable
representative of the species. In a way whole culture is an
elaborate trick played by the not-so-perfect individuals on
females and the alpha males. Sometimes, like in the case of
internet forum users, this true goal of art's existence is
obscured by the illusions of objective value. They play the
trick on themselves,

Not saying that I fully agree with the above, just saying.

okay, but they don't release academic papers on how and what
they did. all they communicate is purely esoteric: "we're
doing crazy ass computors stuff, in the fucking dark dude!".
In fact, it's hard to distinguish where they push random
buttons and are having a laugh or when they work two months
on a really fancy neural network-based AI drum machine
(which i doubt they do at all).
also in a quaristice interview Sean Booth stated something
along the lines, where if one tries to analyze their music
for production techniques, they miss the point…

i believe their music is best listened to with the fresh,
unspoiled mind of a child. imagine you don't know shit about
fm synthesis and convolution reverb. Much like you would
take in a painting that is just playing with the fact that
it uses 'red' on a 'canvas' etc...

Agreed. If for example quarintize reflects "child play" its
ok and its true art because no one has done it before and it
sounds good. But that does not meen that people could not
distinguish art and evrything is based on pure subjectivity,
its absolute crazy...

dunno… isn't 'objective' simply a social agreement thing?
if three people say 'up' is 'up' and point downwards, and
the fourth guy points upwards he might get beaten up and
raped…

so then it all becomes some sort of a pop jury thing, where
an elite defines the objective 'right' and everyone has to
follow… this might be good for survival etc… in arts i'd
say we are all judging things too eagerly, and mostly
towards the negative. If we see something new, we tend to
dismiss it when it doesn't seem to have a meaning for us, we
think we don't understand it, even if there is nothing to
understand. we're in fact conditioned by society towards
ratio (Apollonian) and try to even rationalize the pleasures
and the arts (part of the Dionysian)…

Mr. Nietzsche had to say stuff about this too but atually i don't know maybe i'm
misunderstanding shit completely.

i'm on a wank streak sorry.

so yeah, jpg on a scanner for creating music sounds like
fun. if you're good at it art might emerge :D

I believe art isnt objective and isnt subjective. Each
individual understands art as subjective thing, but art
exist between us as objective thing, problem we cant define
art because as soon as we define art this is no longer art.

For example we can define Electronic music, Rock, Rap and so
on. This means that music as art have objectivity.

i haven't heard this album yet, but i have rarely thought of
autechre as being lush since tri rep era. it may be good,
like really good, but generally it is more toward the spare
rather than lush side of the scale, even if dense.

Seriously, this album is more "lush" and celestial and
floating and bright and cerebral and melodic than anything
they've done before.

It's Autechre isn't even two dudes anymore. Its a genre.
Or some sentient AI that came back out to play with our
brainholes and nuts.

enjoyable experience than quarisice with its abstract-hop
feeling.

My favourites so far are ilanders and krYlon, the latter
especially
