Draft78

On several occasions I have found Ae albums that, in a more or less veiled way, refer to a genre aesthetic, upsetting it and transforming it into that ineffable thing that autechre is. I found this in the most cohesive albums: untilted seems to take its cue from african polyrhythms (Ipacial Section is the most declared example: it's a spaceship that lands in the middle of an animist rite on the banks of the Congo, but the whole lp gravitates around this sensation), with Oversteps we have a Terminator that moves to Leipzig in the 1500s to hunt down Bach. Here, perhaps redundantly confirming what I have already written a few pages behind, I have the feeling that they wanted to make a similar game, this time targeting retro psychedelia, and all the synth drifts between the 70s and 80s. I'm more and more convinced that the inverted logo of the t-shirt wants to wink at the genre that this time they wanted to autechrized (therefore not a return to the origins, but a reinterpretation of something that happened before). This does not mean making a retro album, but taking the generic idea of retro (with a wide range of suggestions, from depeche fashions to tangerine dreams, so to speak), and processing it through the Autechre filter. I'm already compulsively impatient for the next sign, the a of eA.

I have nothing against the cover, essential shapes, soft, ringed and warm on a gray background: it summarizes this sound, only, as has already been noted, what I see is the letter "e", and not the "a", if it is about letters. Are those really two chapters? However in the shirt, Autechre is written in reverse, so ea. I don't think this is a coincidence. Can this reverse symbolize a return to the atmpsphere of the origins?

anyway now we know how to get the releases earlier : all we have to do is open a post and drag it to hell

I can't stop it anymore. Like Chabraendeky, I'm afraid of overdosing. Sign is a very fast album: there are no static zones, there are no bridges, everything is composition, everything is synthesis. It flows away in a flash.

however, we must admit that, as we have seen the graphics, we immediately thought the album of fucking love

sch.mefd2 : the scale changes and the intertwining between the lead notes and the 3 overlapping melodies are such an orgasm that my gonads can't handle

here, on the fourth listening, only esc desc doesn't win me over (it relies on rather classical chords), but everything else creates a very identity atmosphere. The sounds are outstanding. The mix has a more traditional balance, there are no choices that, at first listen, seem "mistakes" (I often find, in past works, elements that are too prominent - the kick or snare ... - which over time become perfectly natural), but I think it was a necessary choice.

more than ambient, it's the kosmiske according to R_S. And I found many suggestions of e0 or column thirteen but with a much richer condensed arrangement

reassured, all references have been autechreshed

that grainy bass that explodes in reverb in r catz is curative. It does good, it removes all weight. Hey Autechre, thanks!

well, for now I find little relationship with draft - untilted period, and I find the introduction of new faces, there are lyrical parts (esc desc is a sort of Hans Zimmer immersed in the fog), and nuances that remind me of Emeralds and 70's psychedelia ( gr4 ). All these references were obviously crushed by a millstone precipitated from outer space

it is so different that it is impossible to make a comparison. Perhaps there is a point of contact with jatevee C and YJY UX, but the context has profoundly changed

r catz has christian fennesz curled up in its belly

a flare of 70 'electronics is widespread, yet it remains sound that appears from the future, rarefied like a mirage

the immediacy with which I push inside sign worries me a little

I made the mistake of listening to the stream with speakers, now, with headphones, the palace has turned into a castle, the castle into a maze

onesix ending it's nearby

metaz form8 >>>

beat sounds on au14 have the same genetic makeup as e0

this stuff is ripping my conscience out my body, and although there is a dramatic imprint it remains completely and definitively autechre

the second listening is opening the doors to the basement for me ...the beat on si00.. ? What's going on autechre!?

that passage in f7 ar 2:20 already has a safe place in the history of sound

the ghost of onesix is prominet in M4 dilemma

this M4 lema is messing with my senses

the urge I have to listen again is embarrassing
