Autechre: Elseq

lol Whiney at it again: post in 'elseq' thread most like something a serial killer would type

mods really on their game today

one of my favourite things to do is to paste rap and funk tracks over autechre jams. witness 'no type' over 'nodezsh'.

right now I'm thinking missy's 'work it' would sound pretty sweet over c16 deep tread

is murdering people another one of your favorite things? jw

ask the maester column is back on an actual web site:

https://theringer.com/ask-the-maester-game-of-thrones-blood-of-my-blood-bran-samwell-benjen-mad-king-c2f4aeb058ee#.syf5bdi9y

In the article, wildfire is briefly mentioned and it made me wonder whether wildfire could be used against the white walkers

whoops, wrong thread

or was it?

Touring.

love a good murder

this album is killing it

Xxp hooray! Even if they come on at 4am I'm going. Right, off to do some murders.

"oneum" is conjuring up images of some massive metal/stone stylus with several pointed contact points, moving over a stone surface and touching down intermittently, chiseling/scraping the surface, creating those sharp, combed chords and lines of sharp tonal color. lot of heavy friction and sharp, laser-thin vibrations. like nails on a chalkboard, but the abrasiveness is super clean and brilliant. but it's like they spread out all of the good tracks through the five eps, so it's hard to favor one over another (can't pick just one).. though #1 is pretty solid throughout.

ftr the title is pronounced "el seek"

Elseq = LCC

L-Event as well?

Autechre remix of a Giorgio Moroder track : https://bleep.com/release/73267-giorgio-moroder-and-raney-shockne-tron-runr-original-soundtrack

I loved it when they remixed Earth by basically tidying up the sound quality

idk if i ever played the whole of kesto in its entirety but i played the entirety of this the other evening while drinking a nice bottle of burgundy and it was a viable use of a cold shit evening in november (or june as it mendaciously claims to be)

and probably read about some serial killers too, though one scarcely needs herr von weingarten's encouragement in order to do that

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Death

I get a very Confield-esque feeling from a lot of these, in that they seem less like pieces of music made by humans and more like elemental forces in action - but then there are the superb beats in latentcall and the teasing way they disappear for a good long portion before slamming back, very human and very appealing.

― I've had Eno, ugh (ledge)

Confield is a good reference point, there's a strong sense of interdependency between the elements within each track, moreso than on Exai where some of the tracks felt somewhat edited, layered, even pieced together in some instances. with elseq there is a stronger feeling of process-based events occurring, as in nature (mold, ecological cause-effect etc.)

just noticed this re tour

PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT WILL BE PERFORMED IN COMPLETE DARKNESS

oh nm apparently that's a thing they do

in the weingartenian imagination all autechre titles are in caps lock but surprisingly few irl autechre tracks are

sort of like dj martian posts in that respect

mesh cinereal is reminiscent of tri repetae

Mesh reminds me of a stretched out version of Untilted 's Fermium, too

If anyone notices when they announce the london venue can they bump this thread? I don't visit twitter frequently enough to see it there.

got to let's for the Bristol show in November

http://forum.watmm.com/topic/90819-new-source-for-ab-domino-2010/

scroll through for a link to a well-recorded (audience) set in 2010

marked progression from 'beat'-driven/propulsive material to the more ______ sort of sound art of their recent phase (last couple of years).. set is banging, regardless

Yeah I checked that set yesterday. The banging bits are great, sounds like a party.

Ah,RFH for the London show? For ledge who was asking. Might not be such a party ;)/ Come to Brighton, but watch out for crumbling Victorian terraces overhead.

i kinda like the idea of a nice sit-down autechre gig over, say, a freezing 4am car park. #iamold

a matinee would be better still

Where did you hear that? Nothing in warp or RFH sites!

But yep my days of freezing 4am car parks are over and I am ok with that.

Typical ae gig = 2 techno crusties going mental, 200 bald men standing calmly scratching their chins.

Target demographic all about the comfy seats at this point apparently ;-)

Well the seafront in late November isn't a carpark but it is likely to be somewhat bracing. 7pm is kind of a matinee, though

I've finally come round to the ludicrous fecundity of elyc6 0nset. c7b2 is still an obstacle, so abrasive, actually scary in places. Not recommended as the last thing before going to bed.

elcy6 strikes me as the kind of thing you'd want to hear once, like certain films where the plot twist is what matters most.

Nah it is endlessly fascinating, a self-contained ecosystem, the complex interdependency of flora and fauna, predators and prey, parasitism, symbiosis, decay and regrowth.

it's probably just an algorithm

A sonic realisation of a highly complex and beautiful algorithm <3

RFH in London indeed, good inside knowledge. Early tickets for mailing list subscribers only: s.warp.net/ae-list

that implies 72 hour advance sales on 10th june

the southbank centre website implies tickets are on sale NOW for its members:
http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/support-us/membership/priority-booking/autechre

oh well, lucky for some.

can't see rfh members snapping up all the ticket tbh

i am tempted by this, but not enough to sign up to a mailing list.

but i don't quite fit the demographic.

i suppose i could shave my head before november.

When I die, bury me with a vintage ipod with "c16 deep tread" playing on a loop
