    Autechre Live 2024

    in Autechre

    Posted

    Not far in front of the sound booth, centered, were two guys recognizable by the fact that the first was 2.30 meters tall (no problem with that of course) and the second shouted YUHUU every 2 minutes (but that was terrible).

    Otherwise, the live was very good.

    In fact, it seems that the subject is covered in the vinyl represses thread. But never mind.

    I also have very few pieces. Right now SIGN and PLUS on vinyl and that's it. But I'm planning to get the 2023 represses.

    I regret not buying the NTS box set back then... and Exai.

    I don't know if there's already a thread on this subject. If so, we can delete mine.

    What does your Autechre physical collection look like? What's your best piece? Do you own Exai on vinyl? The limited edition of Quaristice with an extra CD (Versions)? The NTS box set?

    Any chance of seeing elseq released on vinyl (or at least CD)?

    Or don't you give a shit about that aspect?

    Am I the only one who prefers to wait for the releases (probably not before 2025 🥲)? Even if I feel very tempted...

    Hopefully I'll see them in Lyon on May 7th.

    u have mentioned before that this festival would be not so good and I have to wholeheartedly agree. Glad you had a good time in Milano, I was there too, and hope that you find relief in that you haven’t missed anything at all by not attending c2c.

    the Milano variant of the current set had significantly more balls and the beautiful garden gave it pretty great acoustics, unlike the overly big Convention Center (shopping mall?) hall c2c was using in Turin. Bass response was very muddy and uneven, that super low thick hiphop stuff in the second half of the set could not deliver at all due to this. Highs were ok (line array) but due to the out of control room acoustics everything sounded too far away and a bit undifferentiated.

    The current set, like the ones in the last decade+ , have these same building blocks which can at times make certain twists in this or that direction, and sometimes the ensuing chaos checks out and falls into a pretty good macro groove, for example some semi-random drum bit occurring just at the right moment, and sometimes it’s a bit hit and miss, a hole in the sound where something interesting could happen. The Milano set had a much more pleasing hit/miss ratio compared to c2c, and also compared to Helsinki. Just some baller little drum fills, and very distinctly, the beautiful bit in the middle of the set with these falling bomb-drop-like sweeps, was not present in Turin.  

    To sum up c2c itself, to get a drink you had to top up your wristband with prepaid money. My friend wanted exactly one small beer (7eur) so he topped up the minimum amount of 10eur, of which 2 were deducted as a fee. The remaining 8eur were then not enough to buy the beer, because you’d also have to deposit 2eur for the plastic cup. So he had to top up another 10eur. 11eur of his money remains in some c2c bank account at this point, and we will see whether it finds its way back out of there. This is in my opinion clearly a borderline rip off deal, counting on people being too lazy / forgetting to go to their website after the festival and filling out the Google Forms thing to reclaim your small money.


    after the ae, we were seeking to enjoy the place but it was not possible. The bands / DJs after ae were not good, and we could not imagine sticking around in there until later in the night where some potentially worthy acts would play, due to there not being anything to do other than stand around or walk between the two halls, and our mood dropped significantly while trying to figure out how to get our prepaid drink deposit moneys back while some mediocre techno band was making any conversation with your mates or the bar clerk near impossible.

    Turin is an interesting city tho, we had a grand time walking around for two days just looking at things and eating.

    TLDR: avoid c2c

     

    Thanks for the report. I now feel relieved in a way. Acoustic was not good and it was not me. I can't say I was surprised by the drinks system as I don't go to festivals very often. But a shitty system it is indeed.

    Couldn't agree more about the rest of the artists playing that night. I tried to stay as long as I could to catch Kode9 and Kouligas but I was already too tired. And a huge mass of people started to come in at around 11 PM so I left.

    Would have been better to go to London.

    I was at the Turin gig a few hours ago. Second time I saw them (after Lausanne in 2016). I don't know if I have something very relevant to say but here's my modest report.

    I'm not the type of guy to go to festivals or even gigs. That means my experience is mainly made from what comes out of my headphones, at home.

    I was hyped as fuck of course. First thing I noticed was that it was not enough dark. Lights of the emergency exits were not turned off and I guess some light was coming from the entrance. I don't know exactly. I imagine it's also harder to get full darkness in a big room. Oh, and I saw quite a lot of guys playing with their phone's light and even some genius with a red blinking light (the kind we use for bikes). Well, that made me realise again why I rather stay at home.

    The sound was not too loud. Bass was very present (compared to what I'm used to hear with my headphones) and I'd say details were not so easy to hear.

    Overall great experience as expected. I was secretly hoping some scratching part like they did in the second set at the Barbican.

    Would be nice to read other reports to compare and see if I'm getting too old.

    Do the Barbican shows differ alot from the Helsinki show?

    Only listened to the 2nd Barbican show and yes I found it relatively different from the Helsinki one. More "hip hop" elements (not only the scratching part) in the Barbican show. And more "melodic" sounds (even chords) too.

    Can't wait to listen to the proper recordings of all of them.

    So, any chance someone's going to record it tonight?

    Is it actually allowed to do that? I've already recorded lives but I genuinely don't know. I'm going to Turin in November and I thought I could take my PCM-D100 with me.

    More videos please. I nearly could make it for Terraforma. When I decided to go there were no more tickets. I'm so desperate to see them. Even looked for a flight to Athens for the next gig. Now trying to find tickets for the London shows. I'M READY!

    Is there a live recording of the Sónar gig in 2015? I'm pretty sure I have seen this in a list but can't find anything on archive.org or slsk. Thanks if you can help.

    Great producer, really good album, but…..no.

    It was more a way to say that he's great and that I haven't listened to a better album this year. I couldn't compare him to Autechre or Burial for example (also because that's not the same kind of music) but - and it's just my opinion - what he makes is the "kind of techno" I'd like to listen to the most. I also liked the last one from Shifted or what's released on Northern Electronics but to me "Pool" is even a step higher.

    Some (or all - not sure without checking) are in the downloads here, and it's likely some will be on archive.org. I am p sure all are on YouTube somewhere.

    Is that the 04 09 2010 Domino AB you are looking for? If so, I can upload a wetransfer here if you cant find it.

     

    Thanks but it's alright. Already have some of them actually, and will get the other ones quite easily in the end. I think I've been fooled by the "Remaster" written in the tracklist and thought it was something "new".

    I really want to see Autechre live but I don't live in Europe. I guess they only gonna do fesitvals in Europe now or what? 

    im gonna make a nice mix of the ambient and dubby parts of Onesix. Dublin is so nice build up! 

    wish they recorded that one from Sweden. 

    Dublin is also one of my favorite sets.

    They were supposed to play at Primavera in June I think. We all hope they'll tour again soon...

    What Ae era was your favourite?

    in Autechre

    Posted

    Would be nice (or not) to clarify all the ae eras first, no? I think I've heard a guy on YouTube (the one from deep cuts if I remember well) saying there are like three different ones. Not sure if it's right neither if it's really what he said. It could be a French guy (still from YouTube) who said that in the end... I don't know anymore...

    To me, elseq and the NTS Sessions are probably what I liked the most.

    But right now I'm listening to the live recorded in Toronto in 2001 (which we can download here on WATMM) and it's so good.

    Off topic (maybe one already exists) but what are your favorite bootlegs?
