Autechre might be a lazy / obvious reference point--it's really that fucking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auxien Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Yeah, picked this up a couple days ago off of seeing it posted here. It's pretty interesting, really unique form to the tracks. It's a little off-putting at first because of that, and I think that the seemingly-random feel flow of the songs might hinder them ultimately, but it's nonetheless well worth checking out and diving in deep on listening. I've only listened to it through like twice, will be very curious to see how I feel about it after 20 listens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spptrl alt del Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 The tracks seem to flow pretty well despite all of the activity going on.. sounds are high quality, and there's good space in the mix. It's some of the most creative, Autechre-like music I've heard made with Elektron machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extralife Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Really enjoying it. Get the AE reference, but a pretty smooth listen despite the glitchiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cear Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Great stuff, impressive that all this is livetakes. can those two machines do generative things? or is this merely a lot of preparation?can't seem to find this on bandcamp anymore by the way..

auxien Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Rytm and Digitakt can do plenty of stuff with varying degrees of 'generative' feels...though the word generative is pretty damned vague. Sure there's a lot of planning and improvisation, probably with some amount of on the fly creation as well. Likely lots of prep, though I'm speculating based on my own experience with Elektron boxes. They wrote a note a few months back to their Bandcamp followers saying the album was taken down because there's a label that wants to re-release it at some point, I think including physical copies. I can't remember what else was mentioned beyond that, maybe was a bigger label even? Dunno. I can still see the release in my purchases collection (not even 'private' as Patronen A and B releases are after another label bought the rights or whatever), but there's no page to go to, just a download link, or it seems you can stream it there as well.

Limo Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Pleasantly jittery stuff, but Autechre this ain't. Which is an unfair comparison anyways. It's a good showcase for what you can do with only a Rytm and a Digitakt. Elektron should hire them to do showcases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xuiqen Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Figured it was about time to hop on here and say:1. We really appreciate all of the kind words.2. Sadly, there is no official physical media planned for Moiré. We plan to self-author cassettes for selling at shows; we'll likely make them available for selling online if we can find a solid duplication service. 3. We are in talks for physical on the sophomore, which has been wrapped (in the programming department), and we've just been waiting for a couple bugs (concerning the Rytm MKII's control input modulation) to get squashed before recording. Hopefully this will be soon.4. The sophomore will feature the A4 MKII, the AR MKII and the DT. 5. We are also of the opinion that a photo of Sean & Rob should be placed/ found next to the word "inimitable" in the dictionary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably more helpful than saying "if you like Geto Boys, you might dig xuiqen" ... jfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
