lumpenprol Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Can you clarify when the Japan earthquake track 6852 was made? Was it an older track dusted off, or something created fairly close to the time of the quake? (fantastic track by the way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Ae Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Can you think of any other legendary musicians in the 'genre' that are long overdue for a new release that you'd quite like to hear new music from? Sorry if this has already been asked, but who influences you this week? other than our stuff i've not been listening to much apart from old stuff lately not for any reason - just the relative amounts of new and old stuff in a lib spanning 90 years (well not really more like 50) tends to weigh in favour of the old What do you think of the whole all-of-our-communications-are-being-surveiled-by-the-US-government-under-the-guise-of-anti-terrorism thing? a necessary phase in human development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Ae Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 What do you think about cheeky fans creating fake Autechre tracks in the lead up to an album release in order to fool leakers? yeah what do you think of awepittance? clearly a thoroughly nice chap Can you clarify when the Japan earthquake track 6852 was made? Was it an older track dusted off, or something created fairly close to the time of the quake? (fantastic track by the way) really close, was made like a few weeks b4 iirc, but unrelated until we were asked, and it seemed to fit in some way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Dylan Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 A lot of artist turn "mellow" with the years, going into dad-rock and stuff like that. Others create their best work as they age (architects, classical music composers, etc...). After all these years, what are your plans for the future? Is the duo something you would like to continue for another 25 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Ae Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 How do you create your sounds? Do you create them completely in your minds or do you discover them tweaking the knobs? discover i get ideas for things to try out, but rarely get ideas for actual whole finished things which i then have to approximate i read interviews where people say they did that and then when i check their tracks its like, i can't even figure out what the idea was half the time. like the track is often something i already heard, at least from a formal point of view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salvakkpooo Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Many on the forum really enjoyed your Quaristice era live set with the elektrons in full swing. Is there a possibility of it being released? There are so many awesome melodic hooks in that set. can't rem if there were any recordings i think not actually guess you had to be there When was Cichlisuite made? Do you have mutant sound thigs? If so; Does it happen in between the transitions of release material? I mean, tracks mixing gear and techniques used in Tri Repetae and Chiastic Slide, for example. cichlisuite was done in 97 (i think it was 97 anyway), after the tour we did with edgar yeah we have tons of mutant half-things, but quite a few are on DATs that won't play without glitch hell. one day we'll get round to mothballing it all I meant to say hybrid, not mutant.

lumpenprol Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 this whole "questions only" approach ends up feeling a little one-sided, just want to say thanks again for doing this, and also I can confirm Awepittance is indeed a nice chap - we went to your SF Quaristice show together!

Sean Ae Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Do you guys like italo disco? New beat? if i had to answer with a word, nah to both i mean there are bits i hear and like sometimes, but there's a slight element of shitness to both genres plus they are often liked (as an entire genre) by awful tasteless people who can't seem to discriminate the good tracks from the shit ones i mean i'm pretty uninformed tbh, i grew up with american electro so to me italo and newbeat sound a bit wrong somehow and i ignored them for years Which team do you support? none Many on the forum really enjoyed your Quaristice era live set with the elektrons in full swing.

hoggy Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Did the collaboration with Venetian Snares inspire you at all? Was it an over the internet thing? Are you into his music? What you do is so unique - I often get the sense that in your music you are making something which has it's own life separated from this reality, that interacts with itself in it's own space, is that deliberate? Some of your tracks (particularly on Exai) make my legs feel kind of epileptic, do you get any of those kinds of reactions? Do you consider your music to have a stoner sensibility? Do you have a sense of trying to make something 'different' or 'other'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atop Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) I shall revamp my questions: Will we ever see any footage from ATP '03 in a formal way? Do you get tired of people saying your music is weird? Should we as musicians strive to make the world a better, more interesting place to exist in?

khov Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 i seriously consider Autechre as musical semi gods, but i always been curious about artists mistakes/regrets. is there any specific track you would do totally differently now ? that you would like to re-record or you wish you had not released in the first place ?
