They did it on Illanders a little bit. Not even sure what the effect is. The best I can describe it is some kind of ring modulation running at a frequency that makes our brain feel like it's being overdriven or distorted but its not exactly. Anybody else know what im talking about?

it almost sounds like it's being modulated with something that's almost a square wave but not quite, like a very rounded off but still squarey wave

Yeah. I thought that it is something like advanced fm techniques. Modulating carrier by audio in smart way.

It's very distinctive and that's why I think it's them.

Classic ae reaction

part of me feels it's real, but I listened to Exai at really loud volumes on my studio monitors and never experienced anything as harsh or unpleasantly brittle/sharp as the snare drum sounds right now (at a loud volume) in my ears on this track. 3 minutes on is where i start to be lulled into it, could do without those jumbled breakbeat samples though. I don't know why i'm just not a fan of Ae's sampled break drum choices at all on Exai either, so again could mean this is real. They sound very brittle and oddly abrasive to me, which is odd because the breaks on Skull Snap EP are very solid and not unpleasant to my ears

lush lush lush lush

it sounds too much of the exai sound pallet, too direct and not bizaerre enough

i say good fake

is the track in 5/4 (9/8?) or is that another one of those AE illusions?

It's Autechre.

we should try and recreate/reverse engineer this bass distortion effect I think it would be fun. Listening again it sounds like the modulation depth is being automated or part of an envelope follower. I think that's what gives it the fake overdriven effect, where instead of a bass sound sounding blown out or overdriven when it reaches a certain 'peak' this sound sounds like it's emulating that peak effect with the depth of modulation of a 'soft' squarewave. It also sounds like the bassline itself is modulating some of the percussion layers. As much as I'm not immediately convinced to say 100% AE, no one else producing goes through this much trouble to do little barely perceptible tricks like this.

it sounds more like richard devine

usually with fakes it's the other way around innit... they sound aeish at first but after a bit of listening it's obvious fake, details stick out as being entirely non-ae sound.

this track is like an oozing overripe ae melon tho

It is kinda interferencing. Without bass it rolls like cologne techno triplet shaffel

not autechre

though it sounds sweet (richard devine) i would be dissapointed

can't tell if it's 9/8 the whole time but it definitely is at the end

its a sick track though I'm fairly sure it isn't AE

if it's not I want to know who made it. that faux bass distortion thing puts it into the 'too subtlety hard worked on' territory to be anyone else imo

it sounds kind of like a quaristice/untilted outtake

the sample is somewhat obvious (i think i hear a guitar) also the vox cuts sound like quaristice and boc

its good to where i could see it being legit but tbh realistically im not going to listen to it again if it isnt lol

It's too good to tell... shit.

Loving that last minute when it all drops out and gets groovy. Seems like its in 9/8 to me.. Groove with a bum leg. :)

Beginning is in 3, end is in 4.

I could probably find out easily enough if it was real. Of course if it was, it'll disappear from that location...

I am refraining from commenting.

gl0tch to have change of heart in 5....4....3...2....

lol
