Autechre I, For One, Welcome Our New Autechre Forum Moderator, Obel

Join me in giving Obel a warm welcome as the Official Autechre Forum Moderator (OAFM, and no, Sean and Rob, you can't use that for a track title). He'll keep discussion civil and lively here in the AE forum, and will stop any leaks (from pipes or otherwise).

woot woot !

Thanks, Joyrex and everyone who has chosen to attend today's celebrations. I've prepared a speech.

I, Obel, do declare that I will protect, serve and nurture this subforum. I've been here a long time. Through thick and thin I have witnessed the coming and going Quaristice threads, Oversteps and now our latest thread dedicated to Exai. There have been love stories dedicated to Autechre and of course there have been disappointments.

I want you all to know that under my facist regi leadership we will continue to be the most active, highly regarded subforum. The likes of which this internet intelligent music community has never seen before.

I invite all of you Autechre enthusiasts to drink with me from the holy chalice (in the shape of Sean Booth's round head) and enjoy the music I have organized.

Take it away Chas and Dave

The welcome shall be precisely body temperature.

Hurrah!

A free leak for everyone!!

Right?

As the new Autechre subforum moderator I have been granted permission to send leaks to everybody and they will be arriving fully packaged at your doorstep on March 4th.

you are going to feel so silly if Exai turns out to be dubstep, the new direction of ae

I'll step down from my position if that turns out to be true.

And commit seppuku.

If I had the PS skillz I'd change it to Obel and class of 2006

Actually Obel and I have plans to do a custom skin for the AE forum, where all the text will be vertical, and white, and only 10% darker than the background, which will be white as well, and precisely every 2.8 minutes, a JQuery script will fire that will cause 1000 GIFs of Sean and Rob's head to bounce around the browser window, using the latest javascript physics routines. The heads will cease bouncing and pile up around the Quick Reply box, where clicking on Rob's head will play an MP3 of him saying the letter "A", while clicking on Sean's will cause it to play a MP3 of him saying the letter "E". If clicked in quick enough succession, Exai will be delivered to your Dropbox account as DenseFLACs™, a new format Obel and I have been working on where unlike lossy or even lossless file formats, this actually contains MORE information than the original source recordings - examples of the extra content would be the sound of Sean's heartbeat while he was composing a track, and the sound of Rob's buttocks clenching each time CoolEditPro crashed on his Mac Quadra 4 that has a coathanger keeping the SCSI connection to his 5MB external HDD he uses to get that 'special sound' connected while cleaning the dirt from the gaps in the buttons on his Roland 303.
