Autechre Andover(Autechre) on Not For Piano by Francesco Tristano

Just bought this off Bleep - it's blooming lovely - wondered what the connection, if there is one, with Ae is? It's very autechre - notes (musical ignorance kicking in heavy here) like Drone (peel session) or Pule (chiastic slide). . not sure if it's a cover of Drone or a new composition or a homage or what. Recommend it though.

Anyone like that new gescom record? I'll start the ball rolling by saying I'm not sure what I think about it - on one hand I find it dull and lifeless - and on the other I think 'Hey! This is like using creating a manic drumfield that works less as a spinal ridge upon which other things are hung and more as a wood-blinding exercise through an excession of trees.' or something.

doh!

clue is in the title isn't it?!!!

andover = based on overand !

!!!!

DURRRRH!

i'm not sure what you mean.

are you saying that there is an artist called "andover" who sounds like autechre? that's not surprising. i LOLed recently at an artist i have on a compilation called "BOC Scadet".

i'm not sure what you mean.

-

There's an artist called Francesco Tristano and he has an album called Not For Piano.

On the album are a lot of tracks played on piano that weren't written for piano - hence the title.

Here's some info (hey look - mastered by murcof!!!) :

ok, sounds interesting. regarding the new gescom, watmm folks are discussing it here ... i'm yet to hear it, but "a manic drumfield that works less as a spinal ridge upon which other things are hung and more as a wood-blinding exercise through an excession of trees" sounds like an interesting thing to visualize while listening to ae/gescom!...

cheers earlgrey - I've transplanted above frippery to it's proper stomping ground!
