I've never seen em live. So, can anyone give a fairly detailed description of their live sets? (if you can be arsed)....I'm really curious. How much is improvised? How dancey is it? Is it really repetitive? Do they just churn out tracks from a laptop which sound just like the originals? etc. etc. |

Can anyone please describe their Ae live experience? God, i'm here to learn like everyone else. An mp3 doesn't really show you the experience terribly well. |

ae live is wicked.... i mean.... you can't just listen to some bootleg and make a decision based upon that - 'cos listening to a bootleg is NOT live. you should be there and feel the vibes and excitement - and the smell. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ive never seen them live but if i ever get a chance to i am going, just because i love the music so much... they could turn a blender on and put a microphone in it for all i care. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course. it's all about the atmosphere really |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I bet autechre smell awesome live. |
||||||||
|
|

|

I associate that smell with evey gig i've ever been to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can do that. how else are you supposed to make a decision without seeing them? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I bet AE live are kind of fleshy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do they improvise on hardware synths and samplers and drum machines and stuff? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But they get more money if more people are persuaded see them live without hearing their material first. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but then they'd just be copying off of RDJ =p |

Seen them live 3 times, around the time Confield was released, and each time the show has been quite similar in vibe... Basically if you're not really into the music you won't like it as there's no visual cues of any sort, just 2 guys with laptops and on the gigs I've been, no lights of any sort.. Just minimum possible lighting. Musically, pretty much what I expected. Long, slightly repetitive but enormously complex tracks that unfold slowly.. Abrupt changes in tempo etc. In general, less melody and more focus on beat structures. As there's so little to see unfortunately many people seem to get bored and either leave or start talking over the music... Absolutely wickedly good, can't wait to see them again. And oh, first post after lurking for a couple of months so hello everyone. |

"do they improvise?" how hard it is to improvise what they're doing?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well I've seen people improvise drill n bass before with pads and controllers along with appelton live so it's not impossible. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd say that most of the show is probably improvisation built on some prepared structures. Definitely live sampling and manipulation. The most 'live' electronic gigs I've seen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im saying anyone could do it actually. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh ok heheh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have you seen ceephax acid crew. im pretty sure they can't compete with that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yes Ceephax rocks.. Good point ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are you kidding? you have so wrong... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
playing tunes out of your laptop? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eh... it's live.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes I am kidding But seriously Ae do a lot of tweaking onstage, and I suppose some of their tools will sound slightly different every time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it is, but their music is pretty simple, i mean nothing complex about it so it's not that hard to make it sound good even when it's 'composed' live. im not sure we will ever agree on this anyway :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
i've talked to sean a lot about his live-sessions and i think i have a pretty good picture of it now.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but it's much easier to come up with something in the form autechre do, than with something ceephax does..although there's a big difference in music ofcourse.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when did you start making live electronic music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Phob...care to give us a general idea? Of course I don't wan't to hear names of software packages etc but more on their approach to playing live |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've been doing it for years...can't really see why would you ask that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, you! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, it's much easier! i've tried myself a couple of times (and note that I'm not even a musician) but althought I managed to create perfect tracks that flows perfectly with both confield and gantz graf... ceephax was worse tho... but just give me a few more hours. *the irony* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i had a chat with sean yesterday, but he was pretty clear on one thing; keep the live-discussion for yourself... but i listened to some of the upcoming live material and it was awesome. he spends several hours per each 30-sec produced live material. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i will now laugh a little. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's all EXTREMELY calculated. sean is also a very intelligent guy and leaves nothing to faith. he's so picky... he's also hearing patterns which are way beyond for most of us. i can understand the frustration if someone is claiming it's all random and everyone can do it... just as well as i know he's thinking "i don't give a shit of his opinion". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess I was wrong about the live aspect then? |
