Autechre AW-TEK-ER?

[NewSchoolScience]

You can only pronounce Au-tech-re correcty with a Scottish accent, or with a bad throat.

I was bored.

My friend pronounces it aw tesh rah. Drives me fucking crazy.

[Guest Xenblake]

French? cause I know someone who says auwteshzer in a kind of french accent

[oscillik]

probably just retarded.

[acroyear]

No, he's Lithuanian. And a complete retard.

[Guest Xenblake]

I agree with the OP in that it should be pronounced as seen fit by the pronouncer.

 

It's more in the spirit of Ourteacher. It's the Autechrian way.

[oscillik]

i love how people take the whole "They state that the name Autechre can be pronounced in any fashion" thing as serious.

 

lol

[Guest RandySicko]

I doubt they would outright lie about that. The only thing I don't really believe is the bit about creating the name name by bashing the keboard ...but then again, these are the guys who supposedly released a track comprised of sounds from one of their own rectums.

Yes. Autechre pronounces it Aw tek er. That's the end it.

[acroyear]

It's not a "lie". They just don't want to take themselves too seriously. But why would anyone want to pronounce it differently than the artists themselves? Of course you CAN, but why? It's such a great name.

[Guest Xenblake]

I think it's nice the way the word Autechre has a knack for reflecting the unique understandning of the person reading it. Plus language, accent etc. of the person pronouncing it. I think they like juxtaposing words and numbers in strange, often funny ways as they do with sound in their tunes.

 

Alot of their album/track titles also stray off into ambiguous territory, leaving the listener to decide how to interpretate the actual spoken sound of that string of words/numbers.

 

It's Idiosyncratic dyslexia music!

[acroyear]

I don't think they care much about language at all. I don't think they look forward to naming their tracks either... "OHHH! we'll call this one 'Eutow'.. great idea Sean!"

[Guest theSun]

hey man, it's all about subjectivity, maannnn it's whatever you want manna

[oscillik]

I doubt they would outright lie about that.

what, just like how Sean lied about not knowing what WATMM is?

 

"WATMM? What's WATMM?"

 

they themselves pronounce it autechre. so it is autechre.

[Guest Xenblake]

Eutow..you two.. E.U tow...you what?!

 

But hey, Catachresis is a linguistic term and how about cichlisuite? Incunabula referring to "The very first printed documents"?

 

I love that way of playing with words they do. In a sense their play with words and numbers is very descriptive of their musical approach, in that their titles are often made up of obscure, already existing words, spliced together to form something new and less recognisalble.

 

I dunno I've always picked up on this language thing with Ae. Not just the titles and such but in their music too. It's trying to SPEAK. Albeit on its own alien terms.

That's cool man. I just don't pay much attention to the track names. I get it though.

[Guest RandySicko]

Prob more of a UK US thing now that I think about it. I say ped-a-file, you say peed-o-file. It's all about what is familiar to us.. not to say I'm familiar with pedofiles, but you get what I mean. Any Cholmondeleys or Featherstonhaughs out there?

[acroyear]

They say "sandusk ay" and we say "sanduskee". either way.

[Franciscus]

I usually say: 'best band ever'. It's much easier, you should try it

[Guest theSun]

yeah the 'chre are defiantly the best band
