AW-TEK-ER?

Out of sheer curiosity (and partly because of the rediculously IDM-ish Autechre forum subtitle), I was wondering how many people pronounce their name like I have for the past 7 years ...which is aw-tek-ra.

 

C'mon, even Rob and Sean said it can be pronounced anyway. And you all know what comes after "liiive at oscillate ..."

When I first saw the name I thought that they were French and it was some French name. So now for me Aw-Tek-Er sounds like how Lancashire oiks would pronounce it wrong. But that's always how I've pronounced it.

Or-teck-er

 

How did John Peel pronounce it for the radio one sessions? That will be (in my eyes) the correct way. Even if he was wrong, they would have been sat next to him.

Here endeth the lesson.

 

:lol: I was never asking how to pronounce it

 

Booth and Brown pronounce the name Autechre with a Rochdale accent (/ɔːˈtɛkər/ aw-tek-ər). However, they have explained that the name can be pronounced in any way one sees fit. Booth explains: "The first two letters were intentional, because there was an 'au' sound in the track, and the rest of the letters were bashed randomly on the keyboard.
