Hey Autechre, I posted a pretty long one earlier, wouldn’t blame you if you skipped the whole thing so I’ll make it more succinct (feel a bit cheeky doing this as a new member) :
Would you guys consider coming back to Belfast and/or Dublin? (I know it’s not Russia or the southern states but the closer the better!). I saw you here (Belfast) back on the Untilted tour, can’t remember much of it tho but saw you again in London for the Oversteps tour, won’t be forgetting that one, was incredible.
Missed you down in Dublin last time and was going to ask how the sound was cos I had been to a show at the same venue a couple of months previous and it was really bad but I’ve just watched a youtube audience recording of it, and from what I can tell, it sounds pretty good, also I can hear tuinorizn towards the end of that set. Was that track something you had developed from the live set for the album or had you been working on it after the ‘main’ tour had finished?
Favourite Kool Keith-related record?
It's also great to see that my fav musicians are showing no signs of slowing down :) Cheers for the music
was it at temple bar? played there a few times, i thought it was alright in soundcheck but that place changes a lot when it's full, so i dunno
yeah it kind of grew out of the live set
err matthew
Yea, Temple Bar Music Centre, now Button Factory. Yea, was at a Clark gig there a few months before you played, the sound was really waek (maybe that was just Clark tho..jk) Must've got a better set up or sound engineer!
ah yeah i seem to rem them having some teething trouble with a new setup, vaguely
the guy was the same tho, at least i think he rem'd us or soemthing
v hazy tho
maybe rob knows

Well this is my recording from upstairs of the Temple Bar set.. sounds great to me.
Sean, Rob.... PLEASE say high to my italian friind Guliamo who is mad for you guys and is "yay" ing all over this recording.... he'd fucking die...
In fact can you name his first child?

hi guliamo, thanks for shouting all over this bootleg :D

i took a pic of the autechre lp5 cd case, the tracktitles are on the back of the booklet and the barcode is on the front, i was wrong!
i think that's the american one, not sure
i thought they used a sticker for our name but maybe it's a later edition
it's a bit weakening how licensees sometimes fuck up artwork, you have to just kind of sign off and hope for the best really

I know you're on the way out soonish, and I'm pretty sure I got buried, and I've also thought of a question, so here yeah. Do you have any tips on programming a 202, or is it more of a happy accident machine?
And a name for my Grados would be mighty fine. :)
no way its fully 'sit down with headphones and nothing else machine'.
try to get into the 2d sequencing , gateandstep shit. sean likes the special rez it has.
alas no noise source. always made me a little sad. and no noise for LFO. still wonderful machine. see - this is why i never make any tracks. worrying about the lack of noise on a 30 year old box.
please tell me that you still have your 202 and would never, ever sell it.
ha
yeah still got it

yeah think of it like a game of dominoes
once u got your head round the 12 -24 notelength thing its easy, and u can start doing weirder timings, just takes a bit of arithmetic :)
and the cool thing is accent and portamento patterns (which obv u can't do on a 101)
tbh it was all we had for about a year so we know it inside out
it's worth learning imo, helps with max programming anyway
-
what do you think about the cavity job single in retrospect?
i still wish they'd had the balls to release the original
but i guess we still could ourselves sometime
When you say, "the original" do you mean like alternate versions of the tracks? If I'm right, the first track in that live video of you guys from 1991 is the song Cavity Job and around the 1:31 mark where this girl takes a sip of her beer, this awesome melody comes in. If that is the original version of the track, I have to hear this because that melody has been stuck in my head for two weeks!
yeah the released one has that melody but the filter is different, not as good imo
-
as hip-hop/rap connoisseurs
what do you think about Epic Rap Battles Of History?
yeah i saw it a bit ago, i dunno, kind of crap
i like this tho

have you ever figured out exactly how inverse envelopes work? or the non-adsr envs on juno 1/2 etc?
for whatever reason i never take the time to look this up. i think i would be a better person if i did. for years i've just moved the sliders and hoped it did what i wanted.
same here yeah

oh what
shit that looks amazing
It's called the Large Helical Device in Japan. It spins 100 million degree hydrogen plasma around. Here is a video:
aw lush

Sean you just did your 777th post, do you trip on numbers?
ah shit i missed it

your studio workspace:
a.) neatly wired, racked, organized
b.) whatever gear is currently in use wired up, stacked up, half is on the floor
c.) a laptop computer
right now it's a) but it prob won't last and will eventual become b)
i sometimes wish it was c) - and when i'm away from home i pretend that it is

Ok just one last question!!!!
maybe i should watch it with some shrooms but the "artwork" on my cd of lp5 has the ugliest design in my whole collection, it's lame black font on lame white
what makes you decide to use such minimal art with such maximum music?
the original cd packaging was meant to be an extension of the standard grey-backed jewel case design popular in the 80s, but with the front cover also being grey - cos as far as we know, that hadn't been done before
but in america it was repackaged cos nothing records didn't want to spend money on getting a special case made
but mine has black font on white paper and and there is a barcode on the back lael and i believe there is nothing on the cd either also no tracklist haha do i have the superlimited ultra special edition? i'm telling this cause i was quit shocked when i found it in the records store that it looked so bad (also shocked the album was so good
)all the best you guys!!!
i dunno - maybe you have the usa release but without the sticker or something
tbh i can't rem exactly how it looked, i think i might not even have a copy
-
Last batch of questions.
Do you like Terry Gillam? Favorite film of his (pls be Brazil)?
Your opinion on Leo Anibaldi's - Void? Thought it was a severely underrated album.
With all that talk of Drexciya and other Detroit related techno/electro acts, do you rate Photodementia? Esp. this tune:
Oh and fuck it, pls name my incoming
casio gw-5510-1bjf
And again bolshoe spasibo for all your answers. What a fitting end to what was a lushest year of electronic music in a looong time!
You guys have my deepest gratitude. Bye Sean! Bye Rob!
yeah void's a wicked album
never heard photodementia, sounding p good tho, i like the way the hats freeze it up
This fusion reactor's aesthetics remind me of some of your music:
coincidentally, it also looks like a bigger version this unrelated dude's art: http://seanbooth.com/gallery/
oh what
shit that looks amazing
-
have you guys ever checked out the :zoviet*france: podcast 'A Duck in a Tree' ? It's pretty nice, one of the only drone/ambient/soundscape podcasts I know and it comes out weekly. They put a Gescom track in the newest episode
oh i didn't know about this
cheers man

ah man, that would have been cool as shit
yeah we managed it in the uk and eu, and the first run of the japanese ones
the only label that chickened out were nothing records

I remember putting on Confield for the first time, and I was really digging it. Really put an impression on me, the 'I know what I was doing at the time' kind of impression, sitting in front of my computer in the morning chilling out.
I know you said it wasn't a big step for you going from previous work to Confield, but it sounded pretty pre-historic alien artifact like to me. Like uncovering fossils or something. Like wtf have I uncovered?
Exai is niice, sounds sentient.
you ever destroy tracks you're working on, see what happens? or are there always relative small steps involved in the process?
yeah sometimes, it's easy when you can save versions
or if you already finished and it's all in the gear still

interesting what you wrote about the tape mixes back in the day. all this time i thought you were making stutter edits. as silly as those sound now we would make those like crazy (and thus break the pause buttons doing stutters and loops). dual tape deck jam box. sk1 was a huge deal as you could make loops without copying it over and over on tape.
also, when you speak of mates i wonder if these are real people that live near you or remote people. hard to find that many people that dig the same music.
thanks again for everything. usually meeting people you admire can turn out really bad but this turned out great. thanks for not being dicks! been very wonderful all around.
i was doing tons of stuttering as it goes, making beats that way as well
ah most of my mates are within 20 square miles, there's quite a few of us and like, i dunno these are the people our music grew out of to begin with so theres tons of overlaps, we all go the same parties etc
i mean our music is very north manchester (if thats a thing)

monomachine vs. machinedrum - who wins?

Do you know if David Lynch is aware of your music? If so; Did he ever contacted you?
no idea, no

Btw what do y'all think about jean Michel jarre?
i like oxygene and equinoxe and i even like zoolook
but he's a right cheesy fucker isn't he

2) I've been thinking lately to make field recordings. Never done that before. What recorder would you recommend?
3) What do you say, one last shot at naming my guitar? ;p
2) i dunno much about what's good i have a habit of using absolutely anything
3) your guitar is now called enrico
2) What would you use to record a soft, silent sound close to you (say a squeaky coffee pot), but at the same time you dont want louder distant noises to be recorded (clocks, cars)? Are there recorders that might filter that out? Or do you have to do that with software?
3) Enrico who?
i dunno i'd just use whatever shit mic i had to hand and then eq it out later :D
I would be much obliged if you could name my Roland JX-3P and my euro-rack modular rig that I'm in the middle of putting together.
Cheers!
jx-3p's are ace, did u get a controller? those things are so cute
your jx-3p is now called brian
your eurorack is now called galactor
Unfortunately, I don't have the controller. I'm planning on installing the KiwiTechnics mod at some point (hopefully in the near future). It's a pretty rad mod, pretty much replaces the original CPU, giving things like MIDI control to all parameters, broader range LFO's (an additional LFO, too, I believe), being able to adjust the on-board chorus, stuff like that. So I could just use a knob box instead of the controller, though, as you say, the programmer is pretty cute. Details here: http://kiwitechnics.com/jx3pupgrade.htm. I'm hoping I don't mess up Brian's guts when I do that. But yeah, it was a super cheap pawn shop buy, going to be replacing its volume pot tomorrow after years of having to have it in a certain position for it to be able to play. Always loved it since I got it, though.
Galactor's guts are still being put together.
Do either of you have children? I'm a father myself. My sons love playing with my gear. My older one (he's 5) made a track on Audiotool.com the other night. I think he's going in the right direction with it. ;)
tbh what you're doing there is gonna be way better than some cute controller, pls disregard me
rob does, i don't
