Amen Lare

Yeah, i recall the same kind of sentiment. Tho, it was more like Kouhei didn't ask how to credit him at all and Saddam even had some light trouble with that, but Autechre brand belongs to Warp and he couldn't use it as well, there's only Gescom.

To Live and Die in LA, i guess? (haven't seen it)

There's a definite similarity: both are nothing but layered shapes on gray background. Moreover, some of the unused designs for Untilted hint at "ae" letters too (don't see it at the final version)

Madonna strong. TRUE story of hardship behind her. No iconic star is made without that type of STRUGGLE

WTF with the US media, i gave it the benefit of a doubt and read that article -- now where the fuck Kanye indicated anything of sort, they put words into his mouth in the most blunt manner possible (not that it doesn't seem true) and expect anyone's attention to their bullshit writing?

Stumbled upon a long finnish post-mortem article on him with many personal stories in it just yesterday, I transferred one enthusiast's translation to readable format here in two parts: https://telegra.ph/Mika-Vainio--A-Quiet-Life-part-1-08-03 https://telegra.ph/Mika-Vainio--A-Quiet-Life-part-2-08-03 Finnish original: https://yle.fi/aihe/artikkeli/2017/12/18/mika-vainio-a-quiet-life Some excertps in regards to his tracks:

14.88 bucks would be more extremist and also cheaper, greedy bastardos (likely Actress is just playing on ambiguity as usual)

Everyone's busy about themselves and noone gonna give credit to our ragazzo Draft?

Pic? It's not looking cool on the site, especially the "Live" on the back side

I suspect if he would isolate his bass playing part, it won't sound particularly intriguing (sort of like Squarepusher on his bass escapades). I mean you could do a lot of rhythmic stuff on top of those tracks and sound cool

The Fell & Lazar collabo has more to do with Gabor Lazar, i believe, it was recorded in Budapest while Fell was there for a concert, Mark kinda just added his drum machine patterns to sync. Check EP16 by Lazar for indication of sound. Also i found nineFly has some resemblance to Fell's Ten Types of Elsewhere in timbres, though by no means there's a connection, i just haven't really heard much in that vein (one of my absolute favourites, that nineFly).

A couple of cool exerpts from the chat log that i haven't seen here:

Going through docs i noticed that the webcasts both started and ended on the same stuff (John Oswald - Plexure) according to the chat log and a tracklist for the last one:

Some inchatbitants mistook this Baby Ford track as Ae yesterday, at least had some short-lived suspicions, Saddam went in to clear up that it's "Fordy"

Shit this fuck, i was there at the beginning, switched off coz of all the Depeche Mode cuts, thought it's gonna be 80s memorabilia party

Crispy track this one and a pretty nice flow on the album, you got pretty crystalline style, thanx

Too late, they've already decided to pander to these horrible people, source: private chat

Well, you spit facts, can't deny you dat, aside from the "guy" part. Got no evidence boi I'm liberal left tho according to da tests, don't bomb me if you from Belgian ISIS cell, my caricatures are Western only, Allahu Akbar

https://theartsdesk.com/new-music/autechre-royal-festival-hall this1? why even mention skin colour. i legit dont understand that. i was at that one, skin colours pir l-event... just wtf It was painful to read, dude's a proper trendy "leftist" bitch. Though it seems almost homogenous now, i opened the Wire Rewind 2018 issue and it was all over the place.

Yeah, I reckon ...

Met him once during Geometry of Now event he curated in Moscow (Feb 2017). It was actually quite a funny story, daughter of officially the richest man in Russia, Victoria Michelson, happened to walk into Fell and Luke Fowler's installation at the Barbican Center and decided to offer him the chance to treat this disintegrated pre-Soviet water-power plant recently bought by her father for future art center purposes. He invited a lot of his friends and favourites for sound installations, workshops, talks and live gigs, of course. You can check the line-up for names, some artists couldn't come, i guess, at least i know that he also invited the 'chre, but it was against their schedule (no tour at the time). He even brought some of his favourite printed texts for library section (just a large table with A4 prints of research articles and occasional books on philosophy and shit). Mat Steele was there, too, i forgot his exact role, but he was the main technical/sound producer of sorts. I saw Mark participating in the last talk (on curating contemporary sound art and music) and decided to greet him in person. But i didn't know what to say, so i kinda stood there trying to come up with anything and finally decided to go the idiot fanboy route by asking about his kids. I already deducted that Rian Treanor was his son (i was the one who shared the evidence with WATMM and started the rumour, if you recall), so i asked for his superfluous confirmation (he just gave a nod) and then asked about his daughter, whose track he played in the Headphone Highlights podcast, she also narrated his Composing with process series on radio web MACBA. So yeah, i'm there asking him about the track, he was ready to go into it but i already heard the story in the podcast, on to the next question with a slight interruption - what's Connie up to? And he goes on with his usual calmly drawn out talk and i'm not hearing half of it (she's twenty and?) so i interrupt him again by asking if she's making electronic music and he says no. Then some girl comes by to greet him and after a pause i awkwardly jump to the Mat Steele question (he already said about his participation in the public talk) and yeah, ok, thanks, bye go to the exit.

There are only 5 totems on the page, already two cobras before Ae. It's either goat, cat, owl, bear or cobra. To hell with it, i counted dat shit ye: goat 1-7-13-16 (both metal tracks are goats of course) cat 2-8-12 owl 3-6-11-15 bear 4-9-14 cobra 5-10-17

I think he also said around that time that he was obsessed by J Dilla's Donuts. Pass over your subforum badges, gentlemen, if you can't properly reference the WATMM? What's WATMM? infamous 2008 interview And the actual quote went like this: https://forum.watmm.com/topic/30687-interview-with-sean-booth/
