A Guide to AUTECHRE

Saturday afternoon boredom with a sprained ankle led to this attempt at making T Ess Xi on my AK :grimacing:

That set is absolutely superb - thanks for the heads-up. They’re doing some really nice things with the melodies in Eutow…

An attempt worth making so big shout out to your ankle for facilitating it! I think it’s really easy overlook how many nice melodic aspects there are to tracks on Exai and this is a great example of that.

Seems like Ae are officially in the ā€œold guyā€ category. Their set is from 7-8pm :slight_smile:

I actually LOVE it when bands hit that point. Saw Tears for Fears, The Fixx…they went on at 8. Get to see the show and get home at a good time :grinning::grinning:

They actually have a performance at the Barbican in October that starts at 10pm! Hope I won’t be the old guy dozing off :slight_smile:

Supposedly they had created a new set/ live engine for the new tour. And that was on 2020 I think… by now I don’t really know where they are supposed to be, given that they’re workaholics hehe

I bagged the 7:00 one.

Because them Barbican seats are too comfy to be awake in after 10pm.

if i ever heard this i either forgot or rejected it, it is totally out there for 97…
sounds like LP5 sequencers and synths with some RSD10 glitches and spectral stuff thrown in sparingly.
vocal arrangement/processing is bizarre but beautiful, classic autechre progression.

oh man, I was there… it was brutal on every sense, no time to breath. I think it’s the best live set by them until this date. So many layers of continuously morphing sounds… sometimes you can’t believe it’s live but of course it is and feels like it.
They are not slowing down with the age hehe…

Doing a live AMA right now. Interesting bits about Sign/Plus, Max, and other stuff. Can’t listen myself right now but I think Twitch records these automatically and leaves them up for a while.
