I'm sure they coded their own randomizer

they surely code a lot but probably they could use a
"simple" tool from time to time, eh ?

of course not. like a zillion threads at xltron compared to

can You answer the fuking topic question tho ?

Yes, because if you find out your favorite poet uses an
affordable pencil instead of a quill pen made out of the
rarest extinct ostrich species feather crafted into a pen by
a reincarnated Venetian thirty-second level bard, he is no
longer a good poet. He is a hack.

more importantly, if they used a randomizer, which modulus
algorithm did they use and what random seed?

I think it is interesting to discuss and read about
different methods and approaches that musicians are using
nowadays. Especially with autechre, some of the things they
do with sound leave me wondering about their methods. Its
quite neat.

I know Surripere's beat was done with a randomizer.

A lot of what they do is more lazy and basic then we think I
reckon. And a lot of it is way beyond what many do with
technology too. It depends on the track.

My opinion - We know from interviews they use Logic and
Digital Performer from time to time. Those programs are Mac
only. FL Studio is PC only. I would hazard a guess they
never or very rarely use PC's therefore wouldn't use FL
studio. I'm in agreement that they probably almost
exclusively program there own Max, C Sound, Super Collider,
Kyma, Reaktor etc. etc. patches for their own work. I recall
some stink being made awhile ago by someone who claimed they
used one of his Reaktor or Max patches to achieve the
characteristics of a particular song without giving the
proper credit. One of the AE boys came out and stated that
while they will check out other people's plug-in creations
they would never use someone else's work on their own
albums. This probably holds true for stock fx as well.

i know i can get a similar type of sound by fucking around
with Ableton Live's sample offset in the envelope menu while
playing a drum loop.

No.

AR - Does software you use have any control over Autechre
output?

SB - No, you have to define everything before you can even
start. I don't understand what part you think the software
is responsible for, exactly.

AR - Generative music...

SB - Well, no no what is generative music?

AR - Algorithmic music, random elements in system...

SB - This is the part you don't understand. You don't know
what you're talking about. Do you know anything about
generative music?

AR - Generative to me means generative algorithms, evolving
systems of...

SB - So you know about mapping complex numbers against
imaginary numbers, but what can you tell me about our music?
Do you actually know anything about the way that we make
music, or are we speculating? (laughs)

AR - I am speculating, so tell me...

SB - For start, the word 'random' -- it takes the shit right
out of me. There's absolutely nothing random about what we
do. There might be a lot of number crunching going on but
there's nothing random in there.

AR - So you're not making instantaneous decisions based on
whatever the computer is spitting out at a given time?

SB - Well I don't know, it depends what kind of action or
reaction to a situation you've got. I mean, yeah, if I'm
controlling a patch that behaves recursively then there's a
vague quantum where I can only use my ears to determine
exactly what's going on process-wise because I couldn't
possibly see and process the numbers in realtime. Any sort
of perceptive reaction on my part is going to play a part in
the way that we react to the system, or the way we react as
part of the system, but, like any quantum value as soon as
you kind of ascertain what it is it changes. The problem
with it is that it crumbles as soon as you discuss it.
I mean, all music is generative. Okay, any music. There's
no.. as long as there's a rule and there's a determination
in terms of process and you've g

it's not that hard to make it as you hear it to be...that's
the cleverness in their music.
