Autechre Autechre-Quaristice

what did he say about watmm/xlt...a bunch of lifeless tossers, right?

Fuck. I can only imagine what he had to say about that! At least fill us in on the gist of that part of the conversation.

you'd be surprised. geek net forums are part and parcel of the artist/fan relationship these days, i think they are accepted by all - especially in this sort of genre or whatever. had some very reasonable views on it, which to be honest I found agreeable... didn't linger on the subject for too long anyway.

oh, and did mention that he posts...from time to time.

*cue fanbois going mental trying to work out who he is*

good chat anyway, could have been longer than the half hour we had... strange experience interviewing an artist that you're proper into, hard to avoid losing focus and direction as there's too many things i'd like to know from a personal point of view. must be a bit of a drag for them too, having to nail half a dozen phoners in one day and covering the same ground in a multitude of different interviews. all in all, quite happy with it tho.

and got a wee bit of chat on our own stuff too (as in Rubens) - seems he'd heard some and quite liked. which was a wee bonus.

anyway, if all artists ive ever interviewed were as down to earth and personable as he was, the job would be a cinch. unfortunately, some/most are a bit cunty, so props to Mr B.

better get back to work....

You're doing a better work promoting the album than WARP themselves ~ism, thanks :)

I bet he was Dangulberry.

I told you to tell him I said hi.

Thanks ism, I don't know if it's because of your avatar of something, but you seem to be a really wise man, zen I would say...

I've been listening to Simmm a lot today, and it's really a great track, but the only thing that bothers me is :

How come we had this track (from this Jonta or Jonda guy on soulseek) at 320kbps and not any of the other 19 tracks...

They must be somewhere, or Simmm is just lost like tom hanks in that crappy movie ( with his freaking wilson ball)...

Or Simmm is the first single and this is what we'll be hearing on Warp's front page very very soon? It is very Fermium like (which was the "single" on Untilted)

I was curious about this too actually... fingers crossed that the rest is actually out there!!!

well, anyways, this all seems to be calming down... I guess I'll see you guys at the next treasure hunt.

~ism that's fantastic ... i guess, pun intended ... 'fan.' er, anyway. i'm glad the interview went well and really surprised to hear that Sean posts here, lol!

i think 1:13:00 is still pretty long. i'm excited for the album.

Rook, are you still holding out? I listened to the radio show tracks but I'm waiting for the album. People who download the leaks are just weak and have no self-restraint. Their parents probably gave them everything they wanted when they were kids lol

I listened to about one minute of the radio show and that is it. No downloads, no leaks. So the way I see it, the one minute of the radio show was just a moment of weakness where I allowed quaristice to go up my shirt or something. But I am still a Quaristice virgin holding out until we get married on March 3rd.

Simmm! WOW :O.

Still holding strong.

IMA WAIT THAT SHIT, G.

and yes, watmm/xlt featured in the chat at the end...

I smell some BoC here...

OK kids, take the headphones OFF, and get your simmm mp3s to the biggest, highest fidelity rig you can find, and crank it up. That's an OCEAN of sound. Best track since Parhelic Triangle I reckon (don't get me wrong, I love a lot of the stuff since then, but this is something exceptional). Huge deep rumbles, sheets of drone, aquatic rhythms, sonar pulses, beats slipping around the metre. And a beautiful melody.

yes its Mick :D

Well after hearing Simmm and Paralel Suns I'm a lot more interested in hearing the rest of the album... but still a bit skeptical... those two songs are really really cool

I think Quaristice will be less abstract than their previous 3 albums, judging by these tracks.
