[Guest beavis14996]

the whole That Other Site™ is fuckin hoax, i dont read that shit

[Guest Enter a new display name]

The guy says he can't upload it again till next week, what a liar! Anyway, let's hope Rook will come back tonight with a soundboard recording, lol!

[digit]

there's not gonna be a bootleg soundboard recording of this tour. they are using their own soundman for this tour and this dude is sitting there at the board doing there sound @ every show. no way he is going to let anyone come in and record it. he is a direct employee (and probably a friend) of autechre. if you want to prevent people from getting soundboard recordings, this is the perfect way to do it.

 

BUT, it has been reported that autechre are soundboard recording their own shows this tour. i have a feeling that when the tour is over some of these recordings may be released by the band somehow. perhaps via their website? there really should be some sort of high quality document of their live performancees.

Rook has already given him roofies and has a trained gorilla raping his asshole backstage (so that when he wakes up he will first thing he was drugged for sex and not to steal soundboard recordings). Plus he's gotten a full "friend of Autechre" bodysuit made up out of secretly obtained plaster molds of this mans body. In the dark lighting of the club they won't be able to tell that his movements are so stiff, duh.

His name is Jaimie. He works for Warp and also works with Plaid and SquarePusher. I talked to him for 15 minutes after the show last night. Neither a soundboard recording nor a "live" release is going to happen. I told him a shit ton of people would pay several times the cost of the limited edition copy of Quaristice for a proper recording of this set. He said he hears that at every venue and it still is not going to happen. He said what's going on is a real-time event unique to that evening, its dependent on the space (and wouldnt translate to a board recording) and it wouldnt be fair to the "fans" who paid to see them live if they released this. He said the improvisational quality of the performance was a special treat for people to hear that one time only, for that night. Personally, I think this statement is basically bullshit in light of the fact that audience recordings so far suggest this set is nearly following the same structure each night. He also suggested that to record it would be to lose the space in the recording, and that would make them sound retarded or something. I argued that this tour was better than the past two albums together.... To that, he didnt say this, but I couldnt help but feel that his tone suggested that Autechre knew it was better. He also said that they could make 4 times as much money if they had vocals over their stuff, but that takes away from what they are doing AND it proves they wouldnt release a proper recording of the set "just for the money." He basically said he felt this was the best material they have ever done. He also said the Brooklyn show was the best show of the tour so far.

 

I told him I have a recording of him saying "it was illegal to record that" in Vancouver. He was really surprised. I told him I thought it was weird that they werent into recording since I recently read in print that they said it was ok. He kind of blew that off. I also said I knew that he recorded the Portland show. Weirdly he denied it at first, then admitted it. He asked how I knew all this shit and where I got my recordings, which I thought was weird.

 

Finally, I mentioned the 2005 soundboard recording and he knew about that. He was PISSED. He said that wont ever happen again, that they were sneaky bastards, and that he would basically kill who ever did that. I guess that implies that Autechre was really mad that the recording saw the light of day. Fuck it, that recording made me listen to ALL their shit even more.

 

Needless to say, to get a soundboard recording, you're going to have to slip into the board WAY before anyone goes on and hide your shit so he doesnt see it... To that end, you'd have to step away for the rest of the show, hope you get everything clearly, and then grab your shit before he breaks down. I dont know if this is the case everywhere, but in Philly he stayed behind the board and never left after the show... He broke down, so if anyone was plugged where he couldnt see it, he would have found it anyway FWIW, I dont how anything that could record the entire night, with good quality, and not be detected. Maybe if someone slips some Ipecac into his beer, he would have to reliquish his post, and someone could plug in while he steps off the board to puke his guts out. If someone pulled that shit off, that would be fucking balls.

[goonstock]

nice story

[ten fingers ten toes]

lol yessss PLEASE ipecac the soundboard guy, omfg that would be epic

[amnesia]

this sound guy sounds like a wanker

 

Autechre could make 4 times as much if they had vocals...err hello that is obvious and its not about vocals its about sound...anyway Ae have heaps of human voice in their tracks.its just mangled

[azatoth]

sounds like a proper prick this soundguy. since i live in a country where it's not likely to get autechre live, i'm gonna be left with dodgy audience recordings of admittedly their best stuff? just great.

[ten fingers ten toes]

lol YAH FUCK THAT GUY FOR DOING HIS JOB, LETS POISON HIM AND MAKE HIM THROW UP SO WE CAN GET A SHITTY MINIDISC RECORDING OF A SHOW! THATD BE AWESOME!

[digit]

1. soundguy records soundboard of each show of tour.

2. soundguy also records each show with a stereo mike, capturing room ambience & crowd reaction.

3. when tour is over, take recording of best night & mix soundboard & room recording together to get a good combination of clarity & room ambience.

4. release live recording for sale or as free download via website.

 

can someone tell me what is so fucking hard about that?

[o00o]

maybe they think I would take away the spirit of the album releases

 

I am kind of confused about them saying its ok and him being pissed of

 

but he only does what they say does he?

Well don't be sad.. I think the original source recording of the LA set is pretty well damn good quality.. especially the remastered version by fluorescent grey which I remastered again afterwards for even further improvements.

 

In terms of being able to enjoy the set it is damn well possible with that specific recording. So what if it isn't uberperfect quality.. it's more than enough to fully appreciate their set and as all of the recents sets in this tour are almost identical, you aren't really missing out on much to be honest.

exactly

[beNito]

I agree that the LA recording remastered by our specialists, ( and the original version as well) is really a good one, and it does capture the atmosphere of the live... If a soundboard comes up, I'll be the happiest man in the world, but still, the LA recording is pretty prettyyyy pretttyyyyy good...

[Guest burnibus]

hahahahaa that sound guy is a tosser. Improvisational quality? do you just think AE have really really short memories and keep forgetting they "improvised" exactly the same set the night before.

 

Shame about this though, as i would be really pleased for good quality. but hey thats the mystery of autechre i suppose. i shouldhave recorded manc looking back. I thought a soundboardf would come but the manc gig was on a crystal clear funktion 1 and sounded ace.

[ascdi]

yeah, i think the LA recording sounds great. just the original one. but it's missing some crazy bits they played in Boston. ah well

[playbynumbers]

interesting story ... that guy sounds like a douche, for sure

[Guest Tankakern]

in response to glOtch's post:

that soundboardist is an A1 prick. I know for a fact that Ae themselves have leaked soundboarding recordings and they also have mentioned this a few times in interviews. His use of an example to prove Ae are not making music purely to make money – by not including vocals in their tracks – exmplifies how much of an idiot this guy actually is. The set produced for this tour is one which seems to be used at each gig only to be tweaked here and there in accordance to different factors during a particular gig. I can see his point that by releasing a soundboard recording offically or otherwise to might ruin the experince for those who attended the gigs, but only to a certain point: essentially this is the same set of tunes being played each night over. But whatever, i hope a soundboard recording appears one day even if Autechre are completly against it as appears to be the case.

 

Also, when you say "I also said I knew that he recorded the Portland show" – how did you know this ?

[Guest aguirre]

if you cant comprehend what the soundguy means, as in that a soundboard recording would sound completely different to how the set sounds to the audience after coming through a fairly massive PA rig that is inside a large reverberant space then you are quite stupid eh...and since we can probably assume that's what the set was made for, for playing out very loud through a club PA.... on top of that, the fact is that every night the space and sound system is different, therefore the approach to the sound design aspect of the performance will be different and unique each night won't it ?..even if the structure or song order is roughly the same....I would say its entirely fair enough for autechre to not want any soundboard recordings being made. And does it matter if they record every set for themselves?, that does not mean that they should release it or let people jack into the sound desk and record the event just because "fans" stamp their feet and demand it

[goDel]

either autechre is recording all their shows to release a best-of at the end of their tour, or they're a bunch of neurotic wankers. come on. what is this bullshit? you've got to be kidding.

 

they should stop releasing albums altogether. before you know it, someone's room might have the wrong acoustics. you simply can't allow their album being played under not the exact right circumstances. what's next? spreading a virus that causes the lights to go out whenever an autechre track is being played? bull-shit

[Guest Rook]

got into a row with both soundboard guys lol. I got there and immediately began to bargain with the Black Cat sound man. Initially I go, "hey man, are you gonna record?" And he is all like "I dunno, I don't wanna set up the stuff". So I am like ok. Go up a few minutes later, and am like "hey man change your mind? I'll pay you fifty bucks." He's a little less reluctant and I can tell he is considering it. And he is like "I dunno, how does the band feel about it?" I'm like "they are cool". And he is like "maybe". I come back a little later and he just like freaks out going "I don't have any equipment ok?" I'm all like lol wtf? whatever. And then I basically had the same conversation with Ae's soundman as gl0tch had. He recorded the massonix and Ae shows. The guy with the mustache right?

 

 

I can confirm from the Black Cat gig though that I was totally wrong about variation between the gigs. The DC concert was completely different from the LA bootleg. The breakdowns were longer, and IO was longer. Rob Hall's first set was pretty boring for me, and it wasn't very loud. He did drop Keynell though, and ON later on in the night, which was cool. Rob Hall was like a zombie lol. Massonix, lol? He had one song that was good. And the crowd liked him, but I didn't really care for him. His bass was way too loud. He did this gay robot dance and some guy filmed it, I hope it shows up on youtube.

 

Bought two t-shirts (one for A-head), and one poster which was exclusive to the Black cat gig made by just some guy. They were cool so I bought one.

 

It really makes no sense though. I mean, why would the sound guy record if they are not going to be available? And he wasn't going for any bribes.

 

By the way, the machine drum rules. The drum sound is so much tighter than any other live sound

 

Was a good gig though. Spent the whole day in Georgetown. Surprisingly large number of female lady persons there. A few freaky lesbians. I was standing next to a tall blond chick, looked pretty normal. Out of no where, a short frumpy toad looking fishnet stocking wearing goth girl just walks up to her and goes, "hey are you a lesbian?" The blond girls stares blankly for a few minutes, and goes "yes, yes I am". And they hung out all night lol? But yea, and lots of girls seemed to enjoy Ae too, although I saw a few that were very obviously the victims of their boyfriends obsession. When AE did their breakdowns, (like three or four of them in this set) some girls would yell "OH MY GOD! THEY ARE AMAZING!"
