Was this at the Boddingtons brewery in Manchester? I was there, didn't know there were any recordings of this.
I was sure at the time they played the riff from Eutow at one point, going to have to have a listen.

Nice! That clarinet sounding thing is cool. Jazzband plays autechre
That jam is upsettingly great. Reminds me a lot of the end of the second Barbican set, those big bass tones and scratching.
Damn I want that soundboard so bad.

wtf Joyrex why you put up so weird ads for the non subscribers?
The weirder shit it gets you get more profit right?I'm a subscriber
.
It took this thread to appreciate that this must be the last place on the web with completely unpersonalised ads. Totally scattershot. So presumably less profit.
The ads are pretty insanely intrusive though. It's like the site has a virus circa 2003.

Can't be more recent than this. Popped up when I clicked this thread.
Not funny. Though that said I would probably wear a t-shirt with it printed on.

I listened to this and was reminded of what a very awesome masterpiece it is, so thought I'd bump the thread just to remind everyone else.

Are they doing a North American tour?
Pure speculation on my part, but would be surprised if they didn't.

Same for me. From what I've heard Barbican's second set is my favorite with the scratching part... Just need the proper release now.
I got a feeling (totally unfounded) that the second set (or sets in that style) won't be released til after a North American tour. What's the chances they sit on that for the rest of Europe, release Europe sets (all in style of first set), then tour NA using mostly the second set, so NA gets to hear something totally fresh, then releases those sets after as per 14/15 sets.
Being selfish I hope they don't do this and release the second Barbican set with the first batch, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

Got to add a quick thanks to the guys who recorded and mastered the two Barbican sets, they sound as good as you could possibly hope for from a crowd recording.
Weirdly I'm enjoying the recording of the 1st barbican set a lot more than I did actually being there. Probably sounding like an old man here, but the volume was so loud I couldn't really make out much over the booming kicks and percussion. Maybe it was where we were sat?
Anyway, pretty stoked for the soundboards. Would be nice to get a release before Christmas...
Definitely where you were sat I reckon. I almost brought a little recorder with me, I had such amazing sound for the second set. However even if I had brought it I almost certainly wouldn't have been able to operate it. Also some excitable idiot kept clapping inappropriately where I was sitting.

I uploaded set two. set one is on it's way.
don't be fooled,this is an improvement for listening, it's more balanced and brings a bit more of details,
but it won't magically become a soundboard
also : set two was harder material to work on, because of the location of the recorder (loads of bass, more blurred mids, bigger stereo phase weirdness, and a bit of mics saturation)
oh and I forgot to fade in and fade out, so public applauds and then it cuts suddenly. but nevermind.
I accidentally DL'd set one first, immediate impression is that it sounds better than my memory of it in person. Really great!

I just finished the mastering of the files @commercial send me a few weeks ago. will upload it today.
but it's nice you gave raw files aviable for wattmers who would like to do their own process on it.
Wicked, I most likely won't bother then, it's not my strong suit tbh.

I've just put my Zoom recordings (48/24 WAV) up in the download area... no tampering on them apart from topping and tailing and levelling the L/R a little
Cheers dude, I'll have a look see if I can help at all with mastering.

Do the Barbican shows differ alot from the Helsinki show?
First one was similar (same set, but different of course cos Autechre). 2nd set was completely different.

Fwiw William Fields' work in this vein is very good imo, as is Topdown Dialectic. The actual method and nature (wrt how much is generative Vs human controlled in the course of composition) is a mystery to me though.
Of course Sean Booth has talked a fair amount about the use of Artov Chains to generate melodies/rhythms (almost inseparable terms in the case of autechre). But I'm sure everyone chatting here knows way more about this sort of thing than me anyway.

Went to the first set at the Barbican last night. Completely incredible. Relentlessly brutal with moments of real beauty. Every "track" full of so much creativity and the transitions were done really well. Felt like a proper coherent hour of music despite the variety in each section. Also thought the soundsystem was really good, loads of clarity in the sound. Absolutely loved it, can't wait to listen to the soundboards.
Out of interest where were you sat? Cos I reckon that might be one of the biggest factors in enjoyment in there. Acoustics made a huge difference.
I know next time I see anything at the Barbican I'm going back centre, cheapest tickets and usually some of the last available.

Hard disagree.
I've never heard them so loud and clean live. I thought it was great.Yeah I love the Barbican. The whole estate is amazing, reminds me of Syndicate on the Amiga. Less guns/murder tho.

need to hear that second set asap
Tell Commercial you're good at mastering! I would do it but I'm really not very good at it, much better for someone with some chops in that area to do it.

I wasn't on anything, but there was that moment on the second set, three quarters in, before the groovy stuff...
It gave me orgasmic shivers, tail-bone to hair, as a sort of a dark oily resonant sea-wave crashed on me as i "was" an indoor cave beach on a cthulhuian planet.
Wicked.
I've no doubt i would have been enjoyed it massively straight as well, it was so fucking good. It wasn't the shrooms doing it, it was definitely them.

Mixed feelings about this lol
On the one hand, want to hear the second set again. On the other hand, don't want to hear my excitement spoiling it
If whoever works on it could do some spectral/dynamic trickery to take me out of it it would very appreciated

Who's the best person on the forum currently for sorting out files?
I have recordings of both Barbican sets but they will need some subtle mastering attention and hosting somewhere, I don't have a mega account etc. I'd like W.A.T.M.M.ers to be able to hear them but don't want them splashing all over YouTube...

Yeah, was wondering whether the first set also had all these pretty straightforward hiphop beats and the scratching. Had a lot of groove to it.
Had someone in the back row doing some erratic random clapping for like ten minutes in the last part of the second set, pretty weird.
Haha fuck that might have been me sorry
The shrooms kicked in hard in the second set, the sound near the middle of the back row was amazing (we were further down and to the side for first set) and the set was like they just kept finding more and more incredible ways to do a backflip - every time they did one I would get excited and punch my open palm and grab my pal next to me.
Really genuinely sorry if it was distracting
. Guys in front were chatting through the first set and that annoyed me no end.
This is probably partly down to the sound where we were but I found the first set to be pretty pummeling and somewhat slippery and dissonant. There was little to get a handle on a lot of the time and it seemed to be constantly mutating while being a bit static dynamically and I found it hard to pick up a kind of narrative through line if that makes sense.
Don't get me wrong, it's autechre so I'm not making any kind of final judgements on the material, the problem was much more likely my ability to process it in the moment. I have no doubt there is a future me (possibly in like 10 - 20 years) listening to a soundboard of it being like fucking hell how did I miss how good this was?
Perhaps conversely i think i would have enjoyed it a lot more in a warehouse rave setting.
But the second set, HOLY SHIT fellas. It was pure Al (that's me, Al) pleasing. It seemed way more dynamically varied and had a much more graspable arc, so while the middle section was as hectic as anything in the first set it worked a lot better for me (at the time, in that space) in the context of the entire set.
Then the last 20 minutes or so was like the funkiest ae boom bap I think I ever heard. Iirc Sean mentioned making a scratching patch in the recent AMA and that was all over it, by the end I was like panting and tearing up at how great a thing I just witnessed. It was everything I could hope for an autechre set to be.
I really really hope they got the recording. Sean Pls.
Afterwards we went round to the terrace and had a beer for a bit or at least until security asked us to leave
. I made the mistake of taking a huge hit on my mate's vape. He told me after I finished coughing it was THC distillate so that made the journey home a bit of quest I would have rather not taken part in; had 3 separate encounters with apparently insane/incoherent coked up Londoners that very definitely harshed my already fairly harsh buzz.
On a personal note, this was my first time getting out-out after losing my old man about 3 weeks ago (and welcoming a new son into the world about 8 weeks ago - it's been a bit of a rollercoaster) and I'm so glad it was as mind blowing a time (the gig, not the unwelcome night bus odyssey) as it was.
Cheers Sean & Rob!

Yeah that's a great song. I vaguely recall (maybe AAA?) Rob saying something about being obsessed with it. I may have that all upside down and back to front tho.
