Listening in abstraction is really the only recourse for anyone tuned in to the intricate sonic treatments of the British duo Autechre. With an arsenal of noises that can splinter or soothe, depending on the mathematical forethought, Sean Booth and Rob Brown maintain a near-infinite palette of sounds from which to craft their machinelike music. Whatever category the music falls under — dare anyone suggest IDM — it's easy to understand why Autechre is often compared to contemporaries Aphex Twin, Plaid and Oval. But the music is not so synthetic that the human element is completely missing; after all, computers don't program themselves. “Nowadays, with the experience and the hindsight we have of using these bits of systems to illustrate certain mathematical processes or dynamics that we appreciate as an aesthetic in tracks, we'll just put them in manually, use faders or custom-graph everything,” Brown says. |

i can't belive this thread ended up without replies...BUMP. "Brown insists that the Autechre setup comprises only the most mundane, everyday items: patch bays, half-rack Boss and Yamaha effects units, spring reverbs, vintage and new analog synths, digital synths, old American samplers, more modern Japanese samplers, mixing desks and Dynaudio M1 and BM-15A monitors. “It's so regular, what we've got, I think it's just our ability to get everything out of it, just explore the possibilities of things, like custom networks,” Brown says. " ahh, the modesty... |

"In 1993, during their first trip to the United States, the duo met a fan who, after acquiring Autechre's gear list, proceeded to buy the whole lot". “He was kind of hoping he could get it all going, get it all rocking really quick, and we felt really bad because we knew he was going to spend hours and hours frustrated over some shit that's not happening, that's so simple in retrospect when you've investigated just one instrument at a time as far as you can take it.” harr harr...how stupid can you get1 |

autechre interviess: generally really nice and techie, enthusiastic and positive. Straight no-nonsense awnsers for the fans. Squarepusher interviews: - full of crap which you'd expect from a musical genious... specially a crazy bastard like our Tom. i take with a truck of salt and enjoy the tunes. I remember the Doc. "Modulations" interview being funny - he was really young then Aphex Twin: - like SP, a bit twatty but entertaining all the same. Anyone knwo the latest one by him? |
