Draft78

I'm referring to a recent interview, the question was "if you were to give an ae release to a young dude, what would you choose?". Sean said something like "confield: there would be the "what the hell is going on here factor". For Roberto It was fine, as long as he didn't have to talk too much

in an interview, Sean, said that if he were to play someone, for the first time, a track, he would probably choose from confield, because in its being "weird" it is very direct. It seems like a good point: even if you need more listening to get into it, the rhythmic fuckery is prominent, not to say cheeky, and since first listen you are immediately catapulted into another dimension. To give an opposite example: the current set seems very complex to me, perhaps one of the most ambitious things they have ever composed, but some friends - not too involved in the matter - have found it more immediate: I think it depends on the fact that the driving lines are more regular, while the luscious fuckery moves to a deeper level.

...I may have been fooled by excessive compression? I'll have to make a more careful comparison

probably, if a remastering was planned, it would have been advertised, it would not be a detail on the promotional plan. In the case of the two-piece vinyl press for touched, for example, it was a highlight (they actually sounded way better than the original). It seems that the intention of these warp reprints is a faithful replica of what the things were then

also in my case exai coincided with a "complex" moment (without being melodramatic, I can frankly speak of tragedy rather than bad time): the headphones were an emergency exit (50% to stall the thought, 50% for not to hear the storms of mourning that raged constantly in the waiting room of that ward), and I really wondered if I was burning forever what I was listening to. Indeed, the Pavlovian effect affected everything, except for Ligeti and Ae/exai, although they were the most present sounds. Perhaps these are things that are now so deeply rooted in my mental system, that are practically a component of my identity, and not experiences that can be associated with a specific moment. I do not know. But it's lucky, it would have been a castration (mechanical, precisely, not chemical) to lose them

the same thing would be interesting for NTS: 42 months

if the will was to cause me cardiac arrest (especially now, which was marked ok on the oversteps tour), this was almost a success

when the goddess kali descended the steps with those superhuman movements, perfectly synchronized to the storm of sounds, I sincerely stopped my breath for a few seconds

Nice. but at the cost of making dinner go sideways, I say: oversteps tour: the world doesn't deserve to wait for the end of the sun without having those soundboards bon appettit

I understand, but qebrus does not lithify you if he hits with eyes

right, if the phenomenon occurs (even if in different forms) in distant and sometimes unsuspected fields, it probably has its own physiological function (society itself, moreover, is the epiphenomenon of physiology). In the end admiration, if it does not become idolatry, is a healthy thing

Gamelan has already been widely shared (from parhelic triangle to Ligeti, but it also preceded Mick's rhino charge blast beat by a few centuries), but the thing I had not yet get on is Tari Truna so, tari truna :

there is a general formula, i think: in approaching an established individual, exactly for the reasons that made him affirm, it makes little sense in itself (unless, of course, there is a valid reason for doing so) and, in in any case, the meeting will be completely conditioned by the fact that there are already roles defined a priori, not both start from a zero degree, which translates the occasion into a sort of farce (aka embarrassment). After all, the maximum expression that emerges from the guy is the one that made him known, his art, which, therefore, surpasses the individual himself, so, probably, I have already received the highest degree of the artist, without necessarily know him personally. That said, Sean, from what I've seen, is the dude with the shining, meeting him would be cool regardless of the fact that he created dha fkng aw-tek-er

When our two played in krakow, the festival (sacrum profanum = endless cummm), after the various concerts that took place in different places, left a bar / club open at the base of the Forum Hotel as a reference point. The day before their live, r&s were at the bar, and it was a deliberate fact to meet people i suppose. I, who am affected by a form of discretion that borders on the pathological, I limited myself to "as pathetic as it sounds I would like to have a photo with you two" (obviously they agreed), but it was evident that if I had been an extroverted type (or just a normal type) , it would have been perfectly natural for them to exchange a few words.

Devine is inaccessible to the point that for 37 years he has refused to appear in the credits

I'm glad that Sean talked about it, when mr Franz uploaded the video the reception was a bit cold, as if no one had really noticed the epic deed that is taking place in that minute. I have never seen a traditional instrument enter so radically into an "inhuman" logic. He managed to overshadow cfern by alarm will sound with just two hands

M62 is amazing too ...that thing between 0:20 and 0:27 ??

deserved words

one of these days I'll watch the whole ama, finally with subtitles; when I find the point where it is about him, I will post it under the cover on yt. It deserves this. That bassline captures that tune so perfectly that it helps me understand its melodic purpuse.

at what minute does he talk about Franz Cardone covers?

the covers that this guy did are disorienting: he manages to make the bass behave exactly like an autechre line: the smallest nuance, the subtlest interval, everything reproduced as it is. In the post "good music like autechre" I had posted all the Ae covers of him a couple of years ago: all amazing, but this fragment from ae_live usa is next level

that xh hx is the channel in which, three years ago, they uploaded that long series of videos. The videos were manipulations of Sean's vintage tv archive (some time later, during the quarantine, he used the same ones on twitch to experiment with self-generating visuals), so I'd say that yes, it's undoubtedly shren's yt channel.

it seems yesterday that Autechre - for me - was that obscure entity to the point that I didn't even feel the need to know names and faces of those behind it, and now there is this genuinely communicative and demystifying man who, were it not for my fucking linguistic limitation , it could easily be one of the fellas I ordinarily see here. Without my realizing it, the perception i have of ae has radically changed in years, and their work, in any case, continues to be the most fascinating and adventurous thing I ever know
