recorded with a toaster

must resist

second listen, i'm leaning more towards twels

My guess is Faucon-Titane. Seems to have the biggest balls out of all the other tracks. I am almost certain that the first track is Aphex Twin, though.

Yeah i don't get why people do this. Whoever made those tracks is really fucking good. Why throw that away by claiming it's someone else? Sounds crappy to me. Pretty boring rather. It's all done in Reaktor, in fact I recognize many of the default sound files. The second track is just the Krypt ensemble running at 180+ BPM. thats interesting you'd put it this way because the onlyt ime i've actually sat down and listened to his music seriously I was taken aback by how cookie cutter and typical his style of 'lofi' production was. So in terms of trying to set himself apart from the pack of 'shiny' production techniques by aping other lofi producers so specifically he's tying himself to something equally and arguably more time sensitive (aka will be dated quicker) than someone doing hifi production. I think hearing a certain era of or 00's 'lofi' hyper compressed side chained electronic music is going to sound dated as shit after a certain amount of times passes I have no issue with intentionally lofi production if its done with a unique or personal touch, but I don't hear that in the music of Actress (at least not yet). If he evokes a unique or cool emotional feeling for you thats all that matters, but to say that he's carving a lone path by rejecting of mainstream production aesthetics I vehemently disagree with. I think his ideas would be stronger if he didn't rely on muffling his sounds so much for them to have an aesthetically pleasing sound bed. IF he can make a song sound amazing without cutting off all the high end, adding fake hiss and compressing it into oblivion i'd probably change my mind Sounds to me like you haven't really listened to Actress, or maybe just picked out a few songs of his, which is cool. I do it all the time. But I gotta disagree with you. His technique isn't completely EQ, more specifically cutting out just the high ends and throwing in some sidechain compression. If you listen to an album like "R.I.P." or an EP like "No Tricks" or "Machine and Voice" you can hear that his EQ choices aren't limited to Lo Fi and muffled. In fact you can tell his decisions are quite intentional. He doesn't drape a blanket over his sound at all. He has stated in the past his obsession over Autechre and, to me, its clear he is an active disciple. He can make tracks that hit hard, 4/4 bangers, spacey textural drones, etc. I just feel like the guy needs more respect than to be called "Lo Fi". It doesn't seem that you have even listened to the guy, by saying "the onlyt ime i've actually sat down and listened to his music seriously "... I think you should give the guy more listens. As a huge Autechre fan, I firmly believe this guy gets it! In his catalogue there is already so much to choose from, so many territories he has explored. Really something for any electronic listener. Wow, you put it right! Kubrik and Tarkovsky are great examples. True masters with intense focus, dedication, and understanding. Funny because I recall in the AAA, they were into Kubrik and Tarkovsky. You are very spot on with why I also think nobody is like them. As far as Vladislav Delay... yeah probably not the best example. I was thinking of his albums "Multila" and "Entain". But not going to lie, he is out there trying to explore. Just hasn't been drilling into the right nodes. These are the tracks I think of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPXRy23l0Xw

I mentioned Eno due to his unique approach, willingness to absorb what is around him, collaborations, the oblique series... never settling for one "sound", always trying to learn; I believe that is what drove him to collaborate with, produce, and learn from so many artist (Harmonia, Jon Hassel, Devo, Bowie, etc). Not to mention the guy was a complete gear head and had no formal training. I think saying he is a "nobody" (in terms of exploration) really sells the guy short. I think he is very similar to the style and approach that Autechre take when making music. I didn't say Autechre came to an empty space. The past two hundred years is extremely rich in terms of new material, techniques, influences, equipment... no doubt! I should have clarified more; there are many people with similar aesthetics to certain Autechre tracks. There is no one singular Autechre sound. That is what makes it difficult to recommend someone music that sounds like Autechre because I would hand them a whole big stack of tracks and artists that hit certain parts. So, here it goes then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXubhykmrbs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBLGk3tQGv0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byhx4M8jVyo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oms0Db0PGU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuB635iKqxU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLX5KyrkwKg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXy6bwVkfa0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92mNLfnGk1Q

Eh what a stupid thread. Sorry to be that guy. But Nobody sounds like Autechre. Nobody. Nobody has honed in like them and created such a diverse sound in the electronic realm. Their scope is so wide, yet they've managed to master it all. Seven Ark sounds like what some guy thinks Autechre is or something but doing it in a poor lame manner. HOWEVER I believe that there are some people doing interesting things who are also "honing in" on the focus of sound exploration and design. I think of Brian Eno or a guy like Actress... maybe even Vladislav Delay. People who are also exploring the depths of electronic music and really pushing themselves to do new things, not just rehash someone else's sound. But goddamn there is nobody with the insane focus and depth and structure as Autechre, who just carve right into raw sound. I am probably most hopeful of Actress. The guy is young, hustles and works hard, and is really pushing himself and sound design.

Anyone on what.cd should check out the collage "Autechre: Discography, Remixes & Side Projects" I have grabbed everything already, save for the few tracks listed as "missing". If someone were to give me a list of everything I could fill in what I have.
