    Dicing up these sets is a lot of fun, done Dour, Chicago, New York and Denver so far, NY in particular has some amazing standalone tracks. Plan to listen and dissect the tracks at home and blast the sets in my car, thanks sam and bob

    Dope you’re doing this guys, thanks

     

    Long time fan here, since listening to incunabula on a long drive to wales in 94 (my brother, who was driving as I was only 14 at the time, picked it up from Phunk Chunk records in Ipswich), and like most on here I've continued to be blown away on each release.

     

    Do you have any memories of playing at the Golden Lion pub in Ipswich in 95, with freeform? I still have second bad vilbel ringing my ears from that night, a real life changer for me.

     

    I’m not asking you to name my stuff or any future children (ffs) but I’d like to know how you guys feel about the relationship between your work and space/architecture/ infrastructure.

     

    I’m an artist making sculptural installations and work with the environment of gallery spaces all the time, I find your work extremely sculptural and each album seems to compliment a specific environment or space in a unique way, its like each album is a kind of exhibition in my mind, very weighty, very visual.

     

    Not sure how to make this sound clear or how to ask a direct question but simply I wonder if it’s something you consider an important element of your work? Either through the construction of an individual track or when compiling tracks for an album.

     

    yeah we're both quite visual people i think

    at least, when we met and we didn't really have much knowledge of how music was made we'd use a lot of visual metaphor to communicate about music

    that and tactile things - which occur to me really frequently when i'm listening to stuff altho i rarely have actual words i can translate it into other than basic long-range words like rough/smooth which i hear everyone else using

    not sure if other people hear all the detail or not cos text is probably limiting what people can actually say about it

     

    and yeah it totally translates for us, i think brains have so much shared modal processing that it would make sense that it does for most people, but i might be wrong, maybe my brain didn't develop properly, or i listened too hard as a teenager or something - but i reckon we're prob not that unique really, given that rob shares a lot of this

     

     

    Thanks for the reply

     

    I agree text is really limiting in describing this but I guess you guys have developed your own type of vocab to translate types of textures/sounds/space you want.

    For me the fact it’s really difficult to translate your tracks into spoken language makes them so strong. I mean reviewers go to lengths in their descriptions but don’t usually come close to adequate. For me, it’s this autonomy in your work that creates such a strong image of space and texture. I hear it, I see it, but can’t speak it. This seems to be also played out in your track naming, which appear more like images and abstract references, than words.

     

    I remember closing my eyes at said Golden Lion gig back in the days and visioning all sorts of textures (btw no drugs) but can’t even try to explain it without sounding like a twat. Same thing happened at Herne st car park and bocking st, also regularly listening through cans. Each of your tracks, albums, gigs, has its own unique sculptural quality I’m really into and seems to be something completely unique to autechre, I’ve not experience it in the same way with other artists, at least not with such consistency.

     

    I could probably go a on about this and many other elements a lot more but will keep it at that for now, anymore thoughts about it from you guys would be much appreciated.
