I know! Was thinking this the other day. I still subconsciously consider this one of their recent ones for some reason
Iām in the same boatā¦ itās making me feel like even more of an old duffer knowing that itās now 20 years old. I really donāt remember when I started listening to them but this was the album that had me going from āyeah, theyāre a pretty good bandā to ājings, theyāre best evar!!!1!!1!!!āā¦
Surripere is my favourite from the album and definitely in my top ten of all their stuffā¦
forgot i uploaded this, trash sound from my iphone5c, but damn i loved this gig, one of the ones that didnāt get a soundboardā¦ i just remember there being so much space in this set, i remember some basslines using stereo to spin around the room. raw shit
I like the facial expressions in the first 5 minutes. Like palette of different levels of repulsion, reluctance and wtf (sorry-not-sorry )
I really like Autechre but i donāt listen to them very often. Over the years their production got more complex and abstract. At least that how it seems to me. And whenever i listen to the newer songs thereās this one question coming up in my mind and then it vanishes again and iām consumed by the music.
So iām asking myself how much of their music is produced meticulously bar for bar and how much is created by randomized functions and methods. It probably varies from song to song. But what are you thinking about it? If you think about it at all because i aIso feel like Autechreās music is here just to listen to it and not to analyze it. But i still want to understand the production somehow. Thatās just my nerdy musical brain.
From what Iāve read/seen in various interviews and AMAs over the years, only a couple of tracks on Confield were generative. The rest is all programmed and requires their input to trigger/effect/evolve things as tracks progress. They claim they never let a computer simply spit out random shit and then select and arrange the randomly good moments. Itās way more deliberate than that. The WATMM mega AMAs and Seanās recent Twitch streams answering questions are well worth investigating for more info.
Where was this? I went to the Brixton date around this time
Yeah Brixton. Might of been the final show of the 14/15 live patch. But donāt quote me on that.
Does anyone know some good quality bootlegs of Autechre live shows?
From the 90s and early 2000s would be best, they released so much stuff that I still havenāt worked my way up to their newer stuff.
I read somewhere about a slower live version of āFlutterā. God, I would love to hear that.
Cool, thanks!
I didnāt have the Sonar one! (oh, sound is awful, thoughā¦)
Thatās lovely, thank you!
These guys are great, some tracks work better than others though. I liked this set in particular. Some balls to attempt tracks such as See on see
