Autechre Autechre Interview

[Guest Audiorama]

"Say I meet an old uncle and he says, "what you up to these days", I say that I make music for a living, and he says, "oh, pop star", and I say no, not really, so he says "how do you make a living if you're not popular", and I say, we're sort of popular, we just about break even and I don't have to sign on and my rent's paid. I try and describe it, but I can't really."

I agree.

[Guest hahathhat]

they also might be getting _better_ at talking about things, not just more willing... why say something if you haven't yet figured out how to say it properly?

 

i get that sense from the quote this thread started with...
