Guest Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I dont claim to understand their process but that's kind of what it is right? it's like an AI system that generates the music. whatever it is, Autechre are at least 500 years ahead of the rest of us lol. they're the GOAT Nice post, made me pop on the Atlanta set. I feel like AI might be the wrong way to describe their system, although, like you, I have a very limited understanding of it. They talk about it at the end of their Resident Advisor interview a few years back (https://www.residentadvisor.net/features/2756), and the whole interview is really good too. All of the decisions that are made in max regarding sound-design, sequencing, and arrangement seem to be the product of human decisions that are programmed into the software by Autechre, at least that was my take-away. They talk about markov chains and AI in the interview, but it seems like knowledge of some AI has informed their decisions rather than the system utilizing artificial intelligence proper. More like art official intelligence, amiright? Link to post Share on other sites

They talk about markov chains and AI in the interview, but it seems like knowledge of some AI has informed their decisions rather than the system utilizing artificial intelligence proper. More like art official intelligence, amiright? I remember this interview, such a good one! I'll have to reread it. you're probably right that AI isn't the most accurate way to describe it. Like the actual logic of the system is probably more dictated by those decisions that they've programmed into it. it's definitely still generative and unpredictable, but it's not like the machine is entirely responsible for coming up with the ideas, it's really based off of those human decisions. I love the quote in that interview (at least I think it's from that interview) where they say that even though it's a computer system it's actually really human because of those decisions embedded into it. I think that's so true, the music has an extremely fluid and dynamic quality that feels really human - it's like the electronic equivalent of a virtuoso musician who's memorized every inch of his instrument and has an insanely precise degree of control over every aspect of the sound Anyway if i'm wrong about any of this then anyone feel free to correct me, like I said I def don't claim to understand this stuff Link to post Share on other sites

ignatius 6097 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 really surprised no one has made a youtube of "all 28 of the autechre live sets simultaneously" also, why not release both portland dates.

markedone 532 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) lol, that moment is definitely autechre at their most phishalso didnt realize they played 2 portland shows. back to back nights? at the same venue, or different venues?

ambermonke 1573 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 lol, that moment is definitely autechre at their most phish also didnt realize they played 2 portland shows. back to back nights? at the same venue, or different venues? IIRC I think they made a last-minute decision to do an additional Portland gig the night before the original was scheduled because tickets sold out. So I think it was intended to accommodate overflow. Both at Holocene I believe. Link to post Share on other sites
baph 285 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I’m friggin broke, so I have to do this new batch piecemeal, starting with LA because I was there with my wife. It’s glorious, can almost see that one androgynous alien cyber goth getting cozy with the PA again. Should I grab Chicago next? Seems like a favorito Link to post Share on other sites
ignatius 6097 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 first portland gig sold out fast so they added another date. back to back in same venue. it's 3 blocks from my work :) was nice to savor the moment(s) over 2 days. Link to post Share on other sites
niversal 7 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Dicing up these sets is a lot of fun, done Dour, Chicago, New York and Denver so far, NY in particular has some amazing standalone tracks. Plan to listen and dissect the tracks at home and blast the sets in my car, thanks sam and bob Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 12. pastae - rain that looks like mama's spaghetti recipe just put on the Philadelphia set, it's the city closest to where I grew up, unfortunately I was not living there during their tour. The venue that they played, Union Transfer, is a warehouse that many businesses leased before it became a music venue, and the last business before that was an Italian restaurant called Spaghetti Warehouse lol.
