Sorry for the 734th post about the new album.. thought some of you might like to read about it if you haven't already... -- -- Autechre :: Untilted (Warp, CD/2LP) ((((( ))))) "...Booth and Brown's unmistakable physical sound is pronounced in shifting geometric patterns here once again, as they give blocks of sound appropriate air, space and a whole lot of bold bass..." -- -- Pietro. :: IGLOO Magazine :: Abstract Electronic Music Coverage PO Box 307, Corona, CA 92878 USA |

Autechre has again reconfigured their ever synaptically evolving and disjointed, hypnotic ba-ba-ba-beats. Untilted feels so 3D, like a dimensional cube busting through the dimension of average sound space. |

they have to be geniuses to sound 3D with mostly mono sounds. in this album I like the fact that they didn't used so much of effects and computery because so many "plugins" and other "revolutionary synths" appeared these days, that's a real flood and autechre shows us that all this stuff is actually boring and should be forgiven. a bit. |
||||||||
|

You're right colani, there's a definite "clean" feeling throughout this album sans computer fx and plugins.. p. |

pretentious autechre reviews like this shit me. "I don't have a clue what's going on here, I know!!!, I'll just string together some 4+ sylable words..." |

i had to listen to it a few more times.. was waiting for that moment where it would hit me like a brick through the skull and id be like 'ok that's it. i need to buy this cd.' i think today is the day. |

ha ha! that review tells you almost exactly nothing except "Autechre made a new album" and "it's called untilted".. |

How so? P. |

Basically that review is a pile of wank. The double negative just tops it all off. It could have been written at any time with a couple of blanks where track names could be entered in and an album name inserted. Why can't people just give an honest opinion on what they hear rather than attempting to, through the use of rediculously verbose prattle, elevate music makers to the realm of gods. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
basically, the review is filled with contrived abstractions that mean little to me - they tell me nothing about how this album actually sounds. I think Lee is right - you could use this review over and over again, just change the names, it should work fine. |

TJ Norris (b.1965, Boston, MA), began making images at age 4. Norris studied with Abelardo Morell and Laura McPhee and participated in an exchange program at Nova Scotia College of Art & Design. Starting in the early 90’s he worked as an independent curator. In 1990, his solo works-on-paper exhibition, Unearthing Censors inaugurated the Boston Center for the Arts Black Box. After receiving a 1991 MA Arts Lottery Grant for Naked Skeleton, an installation ( Somerville Art Museum) he was selected as a finalist in the DCTV Film/Video Festival (NY, NY) for his 1992 video-short auto-porto-matic. In 1993 the Open Studios Press selected its first ever roster of 50 artists from a survey of 500 from New England and included Norris’ work in the first issue of New American Paintings, a curatorial guidebook. In the Fall of 1997 Norris started work on docuMENtary – a photographic overview of the male body. Norris was the recipient of a 1999 GRGRF grant for development of this project. In 1999 Norris was selected to participate in the New England Open Studio: Arts Online program (with a grant from the Benton Foundation and the NEA). As a former studio program artist at the Boston Center for the Arts Norris participated in 1999: A Great Day In Boston – Celebrating Boston’s Artists, bringing together over 800 artists in a historic photograph taken at the Boston Public Library. In 2000 Norris, acting as co-curator, presented Bear Icons: Art + Artifacts at Mount Ida College (Newton, MA). An earlier version of this exhibition was presented at the New York LGBT Services Center (1999). One of Norris’ passions has been photographing interesting people like Dr. Alvin Pouissant for MA College of Arts’ Portraits of A Century project shown at Boston City Hall. He has also made images of musical acts like the Charlie Kohlhase Quintet, John Tchicai, Roswell Rudd, The Ben Swift Band, Ernie Lijoi and Made In The Shade for various media and CD projects. |

In 2001 Norris relocated to Portland, Oregon and started work on his newest installation series project, TRIBRYD to be presented in the consecutive Fall season of 2003-04-05 in USA, UK and the Netherlands. For this project Norris has collaborated with renowned sound composers. To commemorate this project, Beta-lactam Ring Records released the limited edition CD, Tribyd Installation Soundtracks in September 2003. In 2002 he opened a sound/art gallery called SOUNDVISION in downtown Portland, Oregon and launched this site as the primary web showcase of his ongoing work. During its 14 month run SOUNDVISION was recognized as one of the 10 Best New Places in Portland by The Oregonian. |

You know it's going to be a great review when you see that he used the cover of LP5 that he probably found on google by typing "autechre untitled". |

As for the "3D-ness" of the new album, I have to say its not as great as this review seems to make it out. Its one thing to say look at all they accomplished by using no computers. Don't get me wrong, I understand that (it made me appreciate it in another light). And actually, it might just make their live sets mean something else. But if it doesnt reproduce that way on disc, why do it? What's the point of doing a new album if the point gets across better live? If computers and plugins make the album sound better because they are a solution to your problem to begin with (re: focusing on space), then fucking use computers and plugins better than anyone else uses them and be done with it. With each album there is a degree of posterity involved and I think Autechre are successful in proving that they can do better than what most do, even without using computers. Hell, give them a fourtrack, a mic, and a box of tinker toys and I am sure it will come across nicely still. The point is, if its about space, capturing hardware in disc format might not be the solution. Not that I like him better, but Richard Devine has a greater sense of space in those mp3 samples of his new disc on Sublight, than Ae does on Untilted, hands down. If you're going to go for something as an underlying principle in a body of work, its a good idea to exploit the medium to begin with. It might just so happen that a small handful of algorithms in some patches or plugins, do a better job at conveying space on a compact disc, than a bunch of boxes and wires. Who cares, its the end product that counts. Untilted is a (great) approximation of a wonderful idea that has been successfully attained by other (less?) talented artists because posterity was not their goal. I'm not saying its Ae's, but it is an issue that follows them around, making them aware of the fact whether they choose to be or not. Although I think they are in it to entertain themselves, I still think its a factor. just my 0.98 short of |
