    "Of course, it can take a bit of work and some deep listening to get there. But what if those layers were to be peeled back? What if we didn’t have to wade through hours of fractal rough to uncover those hidden gems of pure machine-funk beauty? What if the melody on Confield’s ‘Pen Expers’ wasn’t obscured by what sounds like coins being sucked into a giant vacuum cleaner? What if ‘6IE.CR’ on Draft7.30 were just the pads and not the cyborgs?"

    that says more about you than the track.  there's so much there to hold your attention, how can you get bored by the vast variety?

    You understand that it's all subjective, right? I will always adore the ae when they are the future (lp5, ep7, confield, exai, elseq etc).

    When they get in that oversteps mood, there is not much to hold my attention, personally. I'm nobody, so no harm done. I'm sure in the future they will come around to their other style that i love once again...

    the mix for the live show is per venue so what came out of their computers may have had less bass but the venue produced bass via the sounds system. i'm guessing massive subs have something to do w/it. 

    anyway.. so the recording may be more "flat" sounding but if played back in the venue it'd sound big bass etc. 

    i listened to some on my studio set up which has a subwoofer and there's bass there. it's just pretty low. so average home speakers aren't going to reproduce it from the recordings since they probably roll off at 55 or 60hz or something unsatisfying. 

    makes sense. thank you...

    can anyone explain the lack of bass in the recordings? i mean, i was there, the bass was huuuuge, it shuttered your chest.

    and yet it's almost absent from the recordings...

    Haswell's performance was the most painful thing to listen to I've ever experienced, and I'm not even exaggerating. It was torture. To this day I think it was some kind of trolling that I didn't consider that funny unfortunately. Andy's set was great. And AE, well, total lushness ofc.

    apparently his was in a certain mood in london, cause in warsaw he played tremendously...

    Saw the 2016 show at Royal Festival Hall and it was very different to the previously released live sets - more beatless stuff and aside from a few bits like a reworked 'shimripl casual' it's basically an hour of new AE.

    was there too. the first half of the show, the "beatless" part, i find to be one of the most hip hop moments of ae. hidden beats and rhythms all over that drove me crazy as i was listening.
    curious to see if i was imagining stuff (had a few whiskys before the show)...

    is there some kind of rule I don't know about where if you like autechre, you need to be arbitrarily convinced that exactly one of their albums sucks? (and you can't pick the same one as anyone else.) it would explain so many opinions around here tbh.

    Not really although the most purist members of the Sam & Bob Church will always bring up how "cheesy" Incunabula and Amber sound. Just as it's written in the sacred texts.

     

     

    in athens, almost everyone that claims to like autechre, means incunabula or amber. the later stuff gives them headaches.

    "normal" music is the king here, unfortunately. but that is a nice way to find new friends. if they mention confield, best friends foreva!!

    Lynch is a great example of somebody who appreciates the sophistication of the audience he is working with. He doesn’t patronize his audience. That’s missing from a lot of music out there. One of the things about the internet is that everybody can be very quickly educated on music, but that’s a double-edged sword, because you’ve got a bunch of artists who are desperate to fit in. Everyone’s in a rush to sound the same. At the same time you’ve got this audience who have got access to fucking everything that was ever made, so the audience is actually extremely sophisticated. It’s a weird paradox. You hear a lot of stuff with the same kind of synth lead and the same sucky compression and the same kick drums, the same long chords. It’s incredibly conservative. Then you’ve got this audience who know about Xenakis and Stockhausen and they’re fucking 16-year-olds. I see that as a great opportunity to make things that are genuinely a bit weird.

    Am I going to have to watch a David Lynch movie?
