It's fun, I'm still learning how to use it properly and deterministically, not just running things through it and getting something random. I like the sound more than Roland's Scooper, which also requires a bit more effort, because you need to record first what you want to mangle, then tweak things - Data Bender is more stream-oriented.
-
Thank you for asking - I'm still missing a few, but getting there. Gotta catch 'em all.

What's your go-to hardware piece of kit to do glitchy things? I've got a Qu-Bit Data Bender and I'm thinking of getting a Cascade, too; I also have Roland's Scooper, but what other standalone units are out there that you know and/or like for mangling audio?

We Are The Music Makers | Volume One by Various iNFO's fourth album - darker, deeper electronics with an electro slant and plenty of nods towards the Warp AI sound. Highly recommended, PWYW for a couple of days; RIYL Inkipak.

See above.

I meant to criticize the notion in general without pointing a finger at anyone in particular, as it was echoed by others, too. I also stated that I'm very familiar with acclimatizing to things with repetition, and I know it works, but advising others to do it is easily interpreted as condescending, especially within the context of a highly specialized discussion forum like WATMM. A lot of music we listen to and discuss can be considered difficult enough to warrant repeated exposure, so doling it out as advice is, well, duh. Based on that, yes, I coulda shoulda woulda taken the quips in good faith, but that ship's sailed now.
-
I was yanking your chain with that, but I'm also peeved that there isn't any balance between appreciative and critical views, it's mostly just us fans going bonkers over everything that the canonical WATMM artists put out; but then again, WATMM is grounded in our fandom of these artists, so no surprises there - but with the overall level of intelligence and rhetorical ability I'm always expecting more than just "ooh did you hear that."
-
If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all? On a discussion site about music?
-
That "leave it for a year" quip is condescending bullshit, elitist truehead bragging that you "get it" while others don't ("I didn't mean it like that" defence notwithstanding). You can habituate and acclimate to anything with enough repetition; I know this because I've done it numerous times, and some of it has been Autechre - but it doesn't mean that I actually like something, it's just become familiar enough for me not to dislike it.
-
It could be that they're doing their interpretation of Xenakis' percussion works and stochastic synthesis, we discussed Xenakis at length after their first gig in Finland in 2006.

2022 Helsinki was my third Autechre in-person live gig, and I've been a fan for 30 years, but I think it's starting to fade in a very similar way - but for different reasons - my RDJ fandom began to shrivel not long after Analord. I do love Autechre and they've been the longest constant in my extrapersonal music life; SIGN and PLUS are amazing and brought their more contemporary output back to focus for me, but I have so much other music in my life that I can't be arsed to listen to things that require way too much repetition for me to acclimate to. Don't get me wrong, I (mostly) prefer musical complexity over naivete (which minimalism is not), but I've never liked pseudorandom rhythmic noise. I'm glad that there are people who do.
-
I don't mind challenging, it's just so stochastic that it's almost random noise, and that's boring algorithmic nonsense. It's different live, when it's an experience, but listening to the recordings becomes almost a chore.
-
I've been listening to the live sets plenty of times, and I've repeatedly caught myself thinking "do I actually like this, or am I listening to it just because it's Autechre?"
