Gotta wonder if the "Cold Earth" snippet they're referring to in The Guardian interview is from an ultra rare, vintage Bandmaster Powerhouse. Some of the samples Hainbach demonstrates sound relatively close to those one-shot warbling hits in the track.

No joking, hey.
And their defunct Twitter account has some mad anti-LGBTQIA+ and conspiracy theory shit. https://twitter.com/melomintmusic

Sydney set is sounding quite a bit harder than the Melbourne one, having attended the latter. Maybe that's down to the nature of the events. The Melbourne event (Now or Never) struck me as an AV-technology showcase and Ae's set seems to have had more sublime variations and ineffable transitions. Whereas the Sydney event (Switched On) seemed more generalised to contemporary electronic music, and their set there is sounding more industrial, more rhythmically simple, but much more of a banger start-to-finish with clear transitions between different phases. Really do hope they release the recordings from both as they are totally different, but both awesome for completely different reasons.
And yeah, it's really difficult to capture how much inaudible / sub-bass fuckery was going on with these shows, at least the Melbourne one. Definitely felt it through my body at the gig, and not just because the floor was vibrating. An all-over electrifying tingle head-to-toe. There is something seriously ineffable going on with their live shows that I haven't experienced elsewhere.

What's the go with the guys putting those 4 monitors right in front of their desk? Know they've been doing that for years but never understood how it helps their performance. Do they just block the view or is there some other purpose?

3rd time seeing them down here (Sydney '10, Melbourne '18) and this one was an absolute beast. No comparison. Walked outside after for a breather, totally disorientated and feeling like my brain had be reprogrammed. Hard, fully immersive, a heap of variation. There was a beautiful little melody tucked away toward to the end of the set that briefly peaked out on its own once or twice. After being percussively assaulted all set, it was sweet little treat.
Also, shout out to that persistent, rattlesnake-y wood block hit that hung around for a while about a third the way through. It was so clear and crisp and resonated beautifully in the venue. It was mixed dead centre and was this lovely consistent, grounding pulse as pure chaos unfurled around it.
Took about 15mins or so for them to really get into the swing of it. That rogue light was switched off around then and there were some cheers, lol. Maybe related? I dunno how having a light on in the venue affects their performance. But after that the rest of the set was pure banger, worthy of an ae_live release.
The venue was incredible. Absolutely cavernous with excellent acoustics. Ultra wide spatialisation. Was interesting being able to easily pinpoint certain sounds in space like that.
Does anyone have a hi-res photo of the message on the screen before they played? I know it's about the lights, but I missed it and just want a squizz.

I came across an interesting quote in my readings and saw the immediate applicability to the album. This quote was so powerful and the connections to the album so clear that I contemplated it for days and wrote up my thoughts. Or maybe I'm just severely autistic, eh, probably. You make up your own mind.
Marcus Manilius (fl. 1st century AD), a Roman poet and astrologer, said of the Gemini twins in his poem Astronomica,Astronomica itself is a hexameter didactic poem.The number 6 and associated symbolism (primarily, hexagons) is a recurring item in Boards of Canada's music.Didactic refers to something that is "intended to teach, particularly in having moral instruction as an ulterior motive." - Tomorrow's Harvest could be interpreted as didactic, commentating on how our current behaviours affect ourselves, our environment and inform our future (direct instruction / teaching), but also providing an opportunity for self-reflection, reparations and a path to salvation (moral instruction - "a more agreeable way of life", "banish the arms of war", "life of ease...in the arms of love").Comments on phrases from the quote, as they relate to Tomorrow's Harvest"...laborious callings..." - a direct reference to the album's title. A call to action. Work that must be performed soon. Something that must happen in the future. Something that must be faced in the future. Tomorrow's Harvest. Ties in with the sense of "something impending" oft used to described the album, even by the brother's themselves in an interview."...less laborious callings and a more agreeable way of life..." - the quote indicates that the Twins call for an easement in work, or hardship, and a better way of living. This ties back into the moral instruction of the album. The only way to prevent our future suffering is to better ourselves in the present, to unburden ourselves from potential hardship. We can change the future by changing the present, that we do not need to walk the path of self-destruction."...provided by varied song and voices of harmonious tone, slender pipes, the melodies inborn in strings and the words fitted thereto..." - a direct reference to the music.After the trumpet vignette (which itself is a signal of the coming apocalypse, as said in the Bible's Book of Revelation), the body of the track Gemini fades in with strings.slender pipes and melodies - woodwind, particularly flute-esque melodies, are a recurring theme in BoC's music.words fitted thereto - the album heavily features both subtle and non-subtle samples of human spoken word, Gemini included."...the gloom of old age..." - the emphasis on the old age being a negative ties in with the moral instruction to change for the better, that something has changed or will [have to] change for the better. The transition from the old age to the new age, from darkness to light, that something is not the end but the beginning. This further ties in with the theme of cycles on the album. This is perhaps reflected in the track Gemini by the swirling, oscillating noise that backs the intense striking of chords. The album itself goes through 5 cycles of birth>death>rebirth and can be correlated to the 4 sides of the vinyl edition.Side A: Gemini (the call for better living) > Jacquard Causeway (an uneasy, perhaps perilous time or journey)Side B: Telepath (a new kind of life) > Collapse (destruction)Side Palace Posy (a very indigenous beat in this track, almost tribal/primitive, represents the dawn of a new society) > Sundown (coming of darkness)
Side New Seeds (a new beginning, a new era, a new society) > Come To Dust (to die), followed by Semena Mertvykh ("Seeds of the Dead" - a new society emerges from the ashes) which cycles back onto the first track, Gemini.
"...unfading youth..." - BoC often touch on nostalgia, most often tied to sensory experiences that occurred in our youth, and directly ties in with BoC's style and sound. In the context of the quote, it implies a positive: direct instruction to be carefree, to live well and happily. However, on Tomorrow's Harvest, it is commentary that we are negatively tied to the past, and the moral instruction to better ourselves is to unhinge from the past and instead look forward to where we are headed. The duality of this interpretation, not only a reference to the duality of the Gemini twins, but also highlights the tension between where we currently are at, and where we should be. That tension is change, specifically and how society often oscillates (cycles) between change and resistance to change."...discover paths to the skies..." - reflective of the album's imagery, particularly the music video for "Reach for the Dead" which features scenes of flying through the sky, the air, the sign of Gemini. But also implies a level of technological sophistication, as a human requires understanding and invention of tools to fly. It is interpreted that technology may be our downfall, that it may outstrip our control, causing a catastrophic event. The album is littered with reference to understanding and technology, from the radioactive yellow on the vinyl (nuclear technologies requires understanding of matter), to the idea of a harvest (a human development that requires understanding of agriculture and associated technologies). Perhaps the idea is that which brings us so much ease and knowledge, that which identifies us as human - our ability to craft and use tools - can also undo us. Not an original idea for the album, but a common one used in all sorts of media that touches on catastrophic/apocalyptic failings of humans."...complete a survey of the heavens with numbers and measurements..." - a call back to BoC's earlier work that was heavily laden with references to mathematical concepts (numbers and measurements). A meta-reference that BoC themselves have yet again changed their sound on Tomorrow's Harvest. It may be BoC saying they as people have changed ("We've become more nihilistic", as quoted in an interview), an implicit example that people can change. The idea of surveying and measurement also ties back into the previous line of thought of technological sophistication and building knowledge. But can also be abstracted into the idea of surveying and measuring how things are, to make an assessment and to make changes for the better."...outstrip the flight of the stars..." - still following the line of thought on technological sophistication."...nature yields to their genius, which it serves in all things." - commentary on the ubiquity and pervasiveness of technology in nature. That their genius (their technology, their ability to manipulate their surroundings with said technology) serves all things (complete control of nature). But when we are so in control of our environment, what do we do with all that power? That is the core question presented on Tomorrow's Harvest- and we can be destructive or fruitful. This is the ultimate moral consideration presented here."So many are the accomplishments of which the Twins are fruitful." - the ultimate direct instruction. We should use what control have for the better, to be fruitful, and for all to prosper without war, but in peace and love. To not live in the old age, but move into a new age. To live a more agreeable way of life.this post slaps. wild analysis.

Autechre's music is too pure? I mean, if their recent stuff is just machine algorithms generating tones, then it's really just an sonification of mathematics, a pure universal language, where maths is too dense for a good number of people. Maybe Autechre should stick to y=mx+c if they want to produce sanitised pop music.

I found this short video breakdown quite helpful in understanding Ae's percussion just a little bit more. I mean, I knew it wasn't just random, but this guy articulates and demonstrates an example fairly well, combing two common-ish rhythms with some variation to get some classic Untilted-era beats.
