    AAA - Ask Autechre Anything - Sean and Rob on WATMM!

    in Autechre

    Posted

    Probably last post from me in this thread unless I have a flash of inspiration tonight in the pub.

     

    Are there any cool places you would like to play a gig? Weird locations, cities you have never been too, famous buildings?

    They have started doing gigs in the dungeons at Oxford Castle, this would be an awesome ae gig experience. Not sure what the acoustics are like though :emotawesomepm9:

     

    Somewhere like Jodrell Bank would make an epic autechre experience.

     

    Also PLZ get Grischa Lichtenberger or Oberman Knocks (or both) to support you on your next tour. And Rob Hall again.

     

    Cheers thanks

    Feltch out.

    So do you guys fancy doing WATMM Secret Santa this year?

    PM me your addresses* and i'll stick you in the mix!

     

     

    *obv will not divulge addresses to anyone. Or send me a forwarding address or PO box or whatever. Would be cool for everyone involved though and you might even get something wicked back!

     

    The thread is now open in genban if you wanna get involved :emotawesomepm9:

     

     

    Thanks for doing this, probably won't get a chance to add any more questions this evening. You guys rule so hard (lol)

    Fuuu, finally caught up with this thread again.

     

    Given that Quaristice Special Edition was limited to 1000 copies, do you guys get peeved that pretty much everyone has a ripped digital copy?

     

     

     

    BTW, this thread should be watmm's most IDM 2014. Jus' sayin

     

    nah obv we knew that was gonna happen, but only 1000 people get the nice metalwork and hopefully they'll look after them

     

     

    obv.

     

    I was gonna buy one from ebay last year, but just couldn't find the funds. I was working out on a building site the day they went for sale on blerp and I never got to buy one :cry:

     

    I would look after a copy if you have any spare lying around?

     

    Really appreciate your efforts on this thread btw, definite watmm legend status. And it has inspired me to start making music again. :music:

    Thanks for naming glitch yoda dog, it works.

     

    There was a question a few pages back about your favourite gig - don't think it got answered? At what point in your live career did you decide to turn the lights off?

     

    I love this clip from Glade Festival 2006, you could be in any dark club anywhere in the world... then 6 minutes in it is revealed you are in a huge psychedelic tent with lasers and weird hippy stuff everywhere.

    Pretty crap clip sound / videowise though, but it gives you a vague idea.

    Wow its taken me a long while tonight to catch up on this thread, big respect for your efforts.

     

    What did you guys make of the whole dubstep thing?

    Did you like the "originators" or any particular producers or was it just all horrible?

     

    Personally, I love (and still do) Shackleton, Appleblim, Gatekeeper (all the skull disco / applepips stuff), but thats about it. ital tek made amazingly deep tunes but I never realy considered his music dubstep and he has moved on greatly the past couple of years.

    I went to see Underworld at Brixton academy in 2008, they recorded (professionally) the whole gig then released it straight afterwards as a limited edition 2CD set. In fact they did this for every gig of the whole tour - LINKY

     

    A fantastic memento of the gig, and you could probably do it in such a way that only ticket holders could get a copy of the CD (initially...)

    Thoughts on this process? Shirley you could do this or something similar for your next tour? pls?

     

    this has been discussed a few times

    if we can get it so the mix sounds decent enough in both contexts then yeah i reckon we might give it a go sometime

    the last tour we recorded everything as a kind of feasibility test and we liked the results

     

     

    Mint. Perhaps have a unique download code on the ticket stub / purchase link or something.

     

    I expect people purchased tickets for that fundraiser gig a few years back just so they could get hold of your exclusive download track from warp lol.

     

    Glad you liked the results - next tour please!

     

     

    Question..

     

    If you recorded your Peel sessions at home, did you ever get to meet John? I still miss his unique radio voice and music content, the BBC (imo) has not been the same since his departure. I like to think that if he were still with us, he would be owning 6music these days. Do you have any stories of JP that you can share with us? A true legend.

    Favorite Islay scotch?

     

    Also, tac Lacora is amazing, my favorite autechre track in like 10 years!

    dunno i only recently started on whisky

    recc me some

    i really enjoy talisker, bit fiery and i kinda like the peat taste but not too much. jura also. longmorn 16 is my favourite by far, proper developed taste and not too overpowering. Getting into whisky myself this past year, a great way to wind up the day.

    is there any audio available from the last gig at DOUR festival belgium, it was amazing and i was stoned like helll while people in front of me were puking out their drugs, it was with VxSx and otto von schirach i would like to hear that again

     

    Farkin' lol!

     

    Kinda like Glade 2006 for me, first time I ever saw Autechre live. Rob Hall nailed it DJing beforehand (as standard), but when Ae came on it all went pear shaped and I completely span out. Think the daytime heat had got to me, proper roasting that year. Wish I could hear that set again, it made no sense at the time and really shit me up.

     

    So a question, do you plan a set differently for a festival gig? Sometimes festivals are part of a larger tour where I guess you just carry the same sound on, but (iirc) the Glade gigs were kinda separate?

    During the Oversteps warehouse gig in London I swear I heard the drums from "Lcc" at one point. My mate passed out in the skanky portaloo's at the back after Haswell's insane set and missed the entire show. Lol at him.

     

    I was also at Bloc festival so heard a massive difference in sets across the Oversteps tour; Bloc was very bass heavy with very little melodic content (or was that just the soundsystem?), Bocking St. was lush and full spectrum (ala the awesome Domino recording). Do your live shows evolve organically as you tour between places, do you respond to how audiences react, and do you perform differently to different nations?

     

    Basically, i'm really interested in your live shows and hope for more. 2010 was a long time ago.
