Washing machine with usb port.

Autechre & The Washing Mashine

Exactly. He pretty much says it doesn’t fucking matter what gear you use as long as it inspires you and the music sounds good.

@xidnpnlss

It absolutely does not matter what equipment is being used.

HOWEVER, having said that, I approached Sean after his set (nice guys, just straight up anymans) and asked him how they do so well “getting outside the sequencer”. He said “just build your own.”, they have just Max and laptops, and “good converters”

I guess it matters to them? And Vladislav Delay?

It seems to make a difference to Heba Kadry. And Electric Lady. I’d bet for a number of others, it matters too.

Am I going to stop making music cause I have a Babyface? No. Am I not going to make music on vaca because all I have with me is an H4n? Also no.

But can I be interested? Or is that not allowed? Can I find the latest in conversion tech interesting? Or no? Let me know, cause I don’t want to make the mistake of ruffling feathers again with my curiosity.

Rob made a totally genius level track on a washing machine?! Makes you think what we really need of gear!

Boss.

I wonder what sort of condenser they were using?

[Ahaas1138]

Liquid detergent or pods?

[Kultschar]

It doesn’t but its nice to hear these things out of interest. I mean most of the Q&A was about gear

[Unifono]

I started with LP5 and Tri Repetae. Then I went on until Exai. LP5, Untilted and Exai were my favorites for a long time.

These days I really enjoy their very early stuff. I found Incunabula slightly cheesy after knowing their later stuff first, but know I think it’s incredible. Amber and the Garbage EP is great too.
And I love the „warp tapes“. One of my favorite recordings of them. Super groovy, super melodic.

[Riuozami]

Tri repetae is my favourite

Innovative and never boring to listen

[simonbradford]

Gescom - Skull Snap (Full EP)

Can anyone confirm it’s them? This stuff is so crazy.

[Castor]

Yeah who else

[waftlord]

all this deep, funk ridden pioneering stuff.

lest we forget, they made this, like to think it’s a modded casio (or similar) being triggered and not samples.

bnc Castl

wonder if sean or rob track,…?

[palm]

I think they are there…but if I remember it was mostly their buds on this one.

@craig

Autechre begins with Tri Repartae

Am of the same opinion. Ive nothing against the first two but they soiund of their time, and much like a lot of other stuff on the Warp etc roster at that point, whereas from tri repetae onwards everything sounds timeless and completely unique

Lego Feet for me

That shits sick! [the tapes ]

A cassette copy of Amber was my in flight (well, train) entertainment when travelling to and fro between Cornwall and Liverpool for university. Perfect repeat listening for zoning out while watching the countryside speed by the window for eight hours.

[craig]

Cornwall to Liverpool is an insanely long journey to be making every day or week, especially as Cornwall is not exactly the most connected of counties. But agreed on Autechre being the go-to music for train journeys.

KRUTON - Smallfish P.A. track 2 (AUTECHRE RMX)

[palm]

I like the idea for MIDI sync. rather than constant clock he suggests sending a MIDI message every now and again to keep the sequencers synced. interesting - starts at right time

Autechre 4utechre Sean QUICK AMA Twitch 6/5/2022 (Part 6)

he had said this track never came out. is this legit? i have no idea

Coil - Panic (Autechre Remix) (Unreleased)

Ha! Thankfully the trip was just at the beginning and end of terms, otherwise I’d be buried in debt from the train fares!
