In response to comments about their unique sound, Autechre argue that given the incredible range of tools available to modern composers, especially in the electronic genres, it's incomprehensible that any band should "sound like" any other band. |
||||||||
|

nobody sounds like ep7/lp5. Those are still ahead of most idm today. but their newer material is easier to immitate. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

Yeah, those two releases are brilliant. Each track invents a new musical style. The problem with the wide range of tools available to modern composers is what Douglas Coupland called "options paralysis" - there are so many options it's impossible to decide what to do. So most electronic musicians just give up trying and pump the same old thin watery shit out their manholes. |

Well, it seems most enthusiast are buying up the machines they rave about in articles. The machinedrum comes to mind |

can someone post list of autechre's gear. thanks |
||||||||
|

what's the date that quote is from? sometimes i think everyone just walks around with their eyes closed, using their imaginary feelers to make sense of the world around them by picking up someone else's views, instead of actually opening their own eyes to figure it out themselves. oh well i guess that would be too hard and people would ridicule them if they didn't agree with the already established pov. oh no, can't suffer that horrible fate. |

how do you pronounce autechre's? i've always wanted to know. thanks |
||||||||

aytaykrssssss. thanks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks! i heard they use blenders and refridgerators for their melodies, and live animals (monkeys and insects mostly) for the beats. please don't tell cygnus. we don't need monkeys to be extinct as well. insects i do not mind. |

Should the goal be actually inventing something new with each track, though? |
||||||||
|
|

with an english accent (that was a joke okay, i like americans) never like autechre actually tho i appreciate their skill and talent, just don't enjoy it much you could make one really great compilation of them tho but you lot wouldn;t be so crazy about em if they hadnt been on same label as aphex and squarepusher and rob gordon, likewise with BoC, which i feel similar about btw, why are so many people trying to ripp off dilla it cant be done ironic by that woman alanis morrisminor, check the lyrics - nothing in there is actually ironic, did anyone see that program of annoying songs the other day, usa english society came down on her like a ton of bricks for the misuse and giving usa an even worse name when it comes to irony, but she's canadian... ironic new UR release is so catchy and good - buy it! also new marguerita and weme is good too |

woops i forgot "ORTECKERS" |

I will agree with electronic music, but rock music and stuff will always generally sound somewhat the same given that it pretty much always has the same instruments. For me though, music is more about the melody and stuff, and the harmonies between the different instruments rather then just sounding different. I find if a song has a nice melody and good, interesting beat, I'll usually enjoy it regardless of what genre it is. |

Q: How much irony is there in a serious discussion about Autechre (pronounce "ORTECKER")? A: Ask Funkmaster. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't get it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dare someone to put our an EP by ORTECKER see if they get sued |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i noticed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If that isn't ironic, I don't know what is... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe it's just that your joke sucked... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Tolstoyed laughed so it was a good joke. End of story. Now please, this thread is generating way more irony than it deserves. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah tolstoyed... ummm, no comment... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i laughed, because i already wanted to make a long reply to what you said but then i figured it would be too silly so i canceled it and then saw what godel wrote and it made a perfect fun moment. you're funny. also naive it seems. i don't remember you like that i must say.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hope you realise that even though you didn't give me a b7, i still love you <3 @ funkmaster: look, 90% of the remarks i make aren't funny. but that one post i made earlier, that was comical GENIUS. so 90% of the time you would have been right, but not this time. COMICAL GENIUS. not to blow my own horn, but the combination of timing and context was unequaled. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
and i mean REALLY |

some guy just invented a device to let you know when someone's at the door without those annoying chimes he's won the No Bell Peace Prize |

I don't get it... |

this thread has turned into something spectacular my hat's off to goDel |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and funkmaster, of course, for being the proverbial court jester |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks, it was a pleasure. And I'm sure The_Funkmaster enjoyed it as well....ironically. (o god when does it stop!) |

Posting on this site and reading the crap that's posted here by most people has turned me into a bit of an internet idiot I guess. Which is probably why I only come here once every few days, because I can't stand any more. |

I agree, I think melodies are the hardest thing to do. Except bouncing ball delays. I need to check out more Dilla. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I should! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well... no.... WAIT Yes. You and your trick questions! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry to reply to diamondtron so late in the thread but why is j dilla special. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
blarp! wrong answer! The correct answer would be: IAN NOLL KING OF ROCK'N'ROLL!!! |

I don't know, but Aphex likes him and I know its sad to admit but I respect his taste. If he mentions an artist I will check them out. Im late in tha game with Dilla. Im not a rap guy, but I do like what I hear so far. I like this track a lot. So much rap I hear is junk. Same old preset drum machine. Cacophonous squawking over the same old crap music. Its rare to find a REAL rap artist. |

don't be so ironic |

Although this thread has started moving in a different direction, I would like to move the attention back to Funkmaster. Tolstoyed, I think the reason you don't remember Funkmaster being like this was because his name is "Funkmaster" and he always had these silly avatars like the one he has now, so anything silly, stupid, or naive that may be utterred by this internet personage could simply be brushed off as "irony" or "satire". But in retrospect, he was being serious. I don't know, maybe it is a recent thing. |
||||||||

|
oh, sorry, his name is "The underscore Funkmaster". |
