Autechre Disappointed by Oversteps and now y7...

I know nothing can fill the 1997-2008 Autechre hole but I'm just looking for stuff that gives me hope. I've been looking for stuff that's kind of between noise and hip hop, maybe like the early 00s Merck stuff but not as cartoony, maybe like Muslimgauze but with a little bit more going on?

 

I busted out Minidisc again recently. Damn, sounds just as fresh today as when I got it in '02. Would be nice to have more tracks with structure but otherwise this is right up my alley.

 

Maybe I just need to make some tunes. Scary thought.

stopped reading

lol. I know. I'm That Guy now. Shit.

What do I suggest? Untilted dude, on repeat.

Yeah I enjoy Untilted more now than I have since it came out. But I was hoping for something new. Yeah definitely time to dedicate more time to working on tunes.

the new pan sonic

Ooh, that's more like it. Didn't realize they had anything new out. I haven't listened to their stuff since Kesto, which is weird cos I loved the shit out of it.

you'll shit your pants... WELL noisy!

try Aoki Takamasa

Go listen to Lady Gaga.

I picked up Fuck Buttons - Tarot Sport at the weekend, and its fucking lush. Unlike nothing ive heard before really, noisy guitar drony shit but rather uplifting and complex too. Nothing like autechre, but then they disappoint you, so maybe worth a try.

I read an interview with them in Giant Robot and got all excited and downloaded some of their stuff. It sounded kind of shoegazey to me. Which is cool. But it had that 21st century pop/rock band sentimental major chord thing (see: emo, pop punk, 90% of chiptunes) going on that leaves me cold.

i know spokane is poo but you don't have to take it out on us! just think about all the GREAT radio stations over there and how much more you'd rather be listening to autechre than that shite.

lol. Yeah I'll probably feel better after I go to Zion's Gate this weekend.

This. Now that I have a decently-sized catalogue of my own musical wankery, I have found that I enjoy my own stuff more and more the more it improves, and even prefer some of it to a lot of music that's out there right now.

Do you have any downloadable stuff, with recommendations of your favourite tracks, etc? I'm enjoying

this (6.2MB), a slowed down version of a guitar piece of mine. Also this (12MB), another slowed down version of a different piece with (programmed) drums. The full speed version of the latter is here (11MB).

This is my musical junkyard. As you can see, I haven't been uploading much lately.

Cool, even I managed to spot some Autechre in

varispeed1, although I can't precisely source the samples. That's a little bit of Oversteps at 0:27, and some earlier æ at 0:38, isn't it? Do you have any recommendations of favourite stuff? There's a hell of a fair amount to trawl through there.

Yeah man, it's in the link in my sig. Nothin' like what you've made, or Autechre, stylistically, but... I like it. Obviously.

 

I'm really likin' the Lovely Miss Piipponen track. It's beautiful.

 

EDIT: my personal faves are Butterflies and Flames, Get on the Bus, and Parallel Motion Syndrome.
