Autechre Interview in REMIX mag...

Formula Follows Function 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...

boys? one (me) would think they'd grab it with both hands.
ahh, the complexity of an autechre listener...

"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?
