[shapes] an autechre discussion

ok, well can-o-worms it goes...
to make a long story short here it goes - i took ae's last
three lps out of my collection (the last being the mp3s
promo of until..) and i listened to them just to get a feel
for them and just because i started a new job and autechre
really soothes me and i began to notice some geometric
structures in the beats
confield - has triangular or conic beats -the delay in the
beat and then a hard hit at the peak and then it falls -
most tracks have them but tracks 1,6 and 9 really show this
-
cone field
parhelic triangle

draft 7.30 - has a square or spherical beats - the delay is
still present but instead of a hard hit or point in confield
its more of a thud or muffled thud track 1 shows this the
best -a draft is what architects sometimes call the blue
prints of the design, which the map out in space or 3d
xylin room
v-proc - v for vertical maybe?

untilted - has a circular or cubical beats - the delay comes
in fast, rises and falls quickly without changing direction
- tracks 1-3 show this the best - a circle has no points or
peaks or changes of direction on it. i have not idea how
tilt works with this circlular shape, maybe a circle can be
said to have no tilts in it?
pro radii - pl of radius
the trees - listed very carefully to this track- it sounds
like a circular scribled pattern is being contructed-
resembling a tree top or something

i may just have too must time on my hands - and again this
is what i saw and you might have gotten a totally different
experience with the albums or whatever, but just thought i
would share.

1) maybe it's an influence of these titles - confield, p.
triangle...

2) v really stands for "u" according to that page with
autechre titles meanings, where the track was said to be
previosly called up-rock, so there is a feel of vertical,
indeed..

3) dunno what to say about until t e d cause i'm not sure i
heard it.

I'd say lp5 has hyperdodecahedron beats.

that's hyperdodecahedral, don't ever let me
see you fuck that up again.

bryce_berny, you're a decent guy, I'm sorry you still come
here.

most of it is 4/4. nothing to do with cones and circles.

leave morons be; it's fun watching them trip over themselves
and receive fatal injuries performing simply daily tasks.

meh..

over-analysing autechre can kill the effect of the music.

All I know is that I love it! :)

I don't know this. I know one thing; the artwork on Untilted
are pretty ugly

well that was my impression - hopefully you all are
intelligent enough to have your own - hey if you were as
bored as i was you could even post it here to share.

I know.. it's sad... it has to mean stuff and it
seems to be "better if fewer people like it." I've said it
before and I'll repeat it, but I won't get into the
discussion again, 'cause then lots of angryness will spread;
music is emotion not math. The metaphorical
heart (music) vs the brain (logic).
