If it turns into a full tour then I might start getting excited. A few one-offs and festivals not so much.
What do you mean bootlegging themselves?
At the Barbican you sit in silence and listen with a earnest expression. Autechre has made it to the echelon of āhigh artā.

I grew a beard in lockdown and plan to stroke and play with it in a thoughtful manor all the way through

I donāt have a beard (Iām not sure that I am capable of growing one), but I will thoughtfully nod every now and then. Maybe even a shake of the head and a wry smile to notify I understand how good they are.
That autechre tag is tastttttty

I canāt explain how to get that beat exactly but where I think Autechre are so inspiring is that they do lots of really interesting subtle variations and generally get a great balance of complex and (seemingly!!) simple. So, although Iām inspired by them I never set out to emulate just one idea because I know Iāll likely fail. And anyway, Autechre might only use that idea onceā¦ I suppose I try to be inspired by their approach than their specific techniques. In any case, I think youāre being way too hard on yourself.
Anyway a case in pointā¦
Not by me!! I love Oval Moon so much and wanted to do a cover but I knew I would fall short. So I took it in a different direction and combine elements of Oval Moon and elements from Irlite (get 0) to come up with something clearly inspired by but quite different. Obviously not in the same league as either of the originals but I really enjoyed doing it and itās one of my favourite things Iāve done.

I speak for myself, and probably everyone else, but we love all the tracks you post here. You should gather a bunch together in a mixtape or album format no doubt. Itās not an autechre knockoff, but it sounds unique and Autechre inspired (good things) and I think a lot of it is publishable!!!

I hope to get a ticket tomorrow.
Event description says they will be playing āin the darkā. I donāt know if this means there will be no lights on in the venue, or they will be playing completely improvised.

You say North London, but you really mean Watford, donāt you.
Theyāve been doing most of their gigs in almost total darkenss for years, itās great, especially if youāre tripping balls.

I know this feeling. I love how they can create grooves in every possible rhythmical pattern and sometimes change it within a track. This one is a straight 6/4 track.
Everytime I try to copy any idea of them I get frustrated soon. Best results were always achieved when I did not think about anything at all and simply let a groove grow in complexity. Sometimes in 4/4 beat, sometimes something different.
