    Autechre - PLUS 20.11.20

    If you invert the SIGN album cover colors, you get this. Really close to where they landed, only I think the blue is a little more fitting. I kind of wish they just rotated the 4 ae bean shapes into a different configuration. Interesting choice...

    edit: might as well invert 1 of the star photos for PLUS...

    haha FUMI, Since the last BoC, AE has put out just under 17 HOURS of music - and for a while they dropped an album or EP ever few years, not sure making new music is really interesting to them anymore.

    Back on topic;  yes, this IS confirmed a play on Sean, PLS (SIGN, PLUS) - We Did It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

    It's more like 34 hours since 2013.

    (all the AE_LIVE stuff, elseq, NTS, SIGN, PLUS) and that doesn't count any of that twitch madness or the warp tapes. Generous is not the word at this point...

    those are so nice jules! would love to know what kind of stuff goes into getting those kinds of shots man

    Thanks so much! We had 2 rigs set up with 31 mp 5D Mark IVs. One had a star tracking gps piece on the mount. So you basically snap a grid to the north star and that device tracks along the same speed as the rotation of the earth. That allows you to just keep taking photo after photo and get long exposure shots which you compile later and get what you see here. After you are affixed to the north star, you can essentially shoot anything you want to focus on and the camera will just follow along. The other shot with the rings is just a static mount pointing at the north star taking a photo every minute or so and that is when you. get the star trails as the earth rotates. It's pretty cool shit - if you can get to a remote place with very little light pollution, you can get milky way and some deep space stuff as well.

    These are gorgeous ?

    Thanks!

    @very honest that is mars. the temperature dropped quite a bit throughout the night so we were fighting a lot of condensation on the lenses or it would have been much clearer. We got a good shot of the andromeda galaxy though. I will try and post more as we go through the 15gb of photos ?

    I ended up waiting until this past Saturday for my first listen to SIGN. I had a few buddies over and sat outside in my backyard with a raging fire and did some star photography. The warmth and colors of the fire as well as staring at the stars lent very well to the overall mood of this album (as well as various substances :P). I obviously had read a bunch about it and was keeping up with this thread but I definitely took away my own views from this and further listens. First impressions were just that it was crazy warm, lush and hyper-detailed. M4 Lema, Metaz form8, schmefd 2 and r cazt were the immediate standouts for me. schmefd 2 was without question my fav after 1 listen. It had such a dark and nasty groove. The whole time through the album, I couldn't decide if this was Autechre super zoomed out, or super zoomed in. It has this very microscopic detail to it, but it sounds like it is enormous at the same time. Autechre have always been experts at creating these little mini universes and this one just felt like the warmest and most humanistic to date. M4 Lema set the perfect tone and was beyond interesting to start. It felt like there was just tons and tons of tiny little pockets of intricacy meshing perfectly with the huge synth and pad washes throughout the entire hour. By reading a lot about this, it sounded to me like this was going to be a very ambient album but I found it so chock-full of rhythm. Everywhere. It's just executed in a different way. Overall, just another fascinating dive into a new realm of ae. There are a handful of bands that I have been listening to for over 20 years now, but Autechre's creative journey has been the most rewarding to follow along with, by far. Cheers.

    I guarantee Hans Zimmer didn't do any of the technical work in any of this (i.e., all of the work required to make electronic music).  I went to see him live last year and he was shit.  All of his chords progressions are the same.  I also have the Zebra 2 "Dark Zebra" preset pack by Zimmer.  No way on earth that cringe merchant programmed any of that.  He gets a technician with real skill to do it all for him.

     

    I hate Hans Zimmer.

    Guess he is more like Hans Off amirite :cisfor:

    both Ios and Digit could benefit from this, and considering the work behind it and that it is only thanks to them that 08 'set will have a new life, it would seem to me absolutely legitimate.

    If we don't have a sequel to Sign (considering we are now psychologically misled by this belief), this will be the replacement.

    Considering how sought after a sbd from the Quaristice tour has been for 12 years now, and considering how much work it was to put this together - I'd be more than willing to hand over a few bones for this. No question.

    it's been alluded to (i only noticed this morning, looking at my LP) that the inner outline of the orange ring is identical to the "e" from this recent artwork for the live material:

    a.png

    this is tDr's abstract rendition of the letters A and E. the outline on the cover of SIGN matches the shape on the right perfectly, same angle and everything. it implies - in the subtlest possible way - that there could be another album cover matching the "a" on the left.

    people have also mentioned a green album cover, but i don't know where that idea came from. if you open up the gatefold LP cover for Oversteps, it opens right out into an emblem which is green on the inside (maybe someone sort of remembered that? the SIGN lp doesn't fold out though.)

    This has been discussed at length in this thread. the sign cover consists of 2 "a" and 2 "e" shapes.

    I’m a huge fan of stupid music that's just a bunch of sounds like if 5 rooms away some one wearing a suit of armor was vigorously fucking his collection of shields.
