Autechre Autechre ''live'' at BARCELONA (Sonar 1996)

Hi all.

I watched lots of time documentary movie about Techno music, created by French/German television ''Arte''. As I know movie calls ''Universal Techno''. I don't know why, but always in my head is minds like... ...if here is so many fans of ''Autechre'', than probably most of people probably know about what movie I talk about, cause there also was some scenes about ''Autechre''. So, if fans interested in ''Autechre'', than they trying find interviews, videos, music (of course), etc., Looks like in all web isn't so many ''documentary videos'' about ''Autechre''. Maybe few... ...So probably most of people from this forum already saw some part of that movie (''Universal Techno''), (I think).

Anyway. Problem not in movie, and sorry for my long text about movie, and not about ''Autechre''. I trying explain since where everything begins.

My problem is... ...I just trying find one track name, which I heard in that movie (in part when ''Autechre'' plays live in Barcelona - Sonar 1996). I trying find that track name for over 2 years... ...but still no results. Some people which I asked before, said cause that briliant track not released. So another question than... ...If track not released, than also people here will not answer... ...but, than maybe anybody here know some sources to ''Sonar 1996 tracklists'' or something like ''Autechre's dj set at Sonar 1996'' ? I mean, any info between words ''Autechre'' and ''Sonar 1996'' ? Any?

Here is a link with that video, where I heard that song (song starts at same time, when video starts - at 00:00) (maybe video helps...) --->>>

Unreleased live track by the sound of it.

maybe try to check the 1996 live set by autechre in vienna (similar tracks i think).

not in the flex 96 set for sure

Makes me wonder if they got the ringin' o' the ear or any sensorineural loss from, like, 20+ years of racket?

I expect they've got some degree of loss, yeah, but I also reckon they've got to the point where they know how to set up the monitoring system so they aren't killing their hearing each and every night. They're clever like that.

Not having a live drummer around all the time will save your hearing.

I came across these two videos about Sónar '96 that were broadcast on Catalonian TV at that time. Both have short bits about Autechre that I hadn't seen before. Sadly, there's no audio from the set like in the OP video.

Autechre at 13:40

and here at 26:48

this video that I don't know how to embed :)

Was this track ever found?

Sean mentioned in one his AMAs that he found listening to Kraftwerk's "Computer World" album reset/cured his tinnitus...I thought that story was really interesting haha

Always loved that unreleased live track

I've looked extensively for footage of this set, but found nothing except the interviews mentioned above.

Someone should seek out this director Dominique Deluze and ask him if he still has the raw footage that he shot for the documentary. Maybe he recorded the entire set?

Otherwise, maybe Sónar keeps archives of all the sets played at the festival? Like with the Oscillate sets that were made available much later.

When the additional synth layer goes a bit more jazzy/improv (at 27:40 - 27:50 of that sonar link) it definitely reminds me of something of theirs I've heard before - not sure if it's a remix of theirs or what but it definitely sounds familiar  ...

Edit: some Djarum sounds in there too, maybe?

Anyone got access to IMDB Pro? Could get his E-mail address from there maybe

I've sent an email to Sónar. Fingers crossed I suppose

Maybe Sean himself can come in and give us some info? 

Can just hope

Got any response yet?

This is probably the same set as the one from Sonár '96 (june), this time played in Ghent (july). It contains the track discussed above. The recording is pretty muddy and heavy on the bass, but as far as I know this is the only full recording of the set.
