AAA - Ask Autechre Anything - Sean and Rob on WATMM!

Can you come to Wales on your next tour?

Recently I opened an mp3 in notepad, and noticed a bunch of code. Messing with this code could give interesting glitches, but it's kinda hard to control. Know any cool stuff I can do with this? (assuming your big secrets aren't made with notepad)

i took a pic of the autechre lp5 cd case, the tracktitles are on the back of the booklet and the barcode is on the front, i was wrong!

I know you're on the way out soonish, and I'm pretty sure I got buried, and I've also thought of a question, so here yeah. Do you have any tips on programming a 202, or is it more of a happy accident machine?

 

And a name for my Grados would be mighty fine. :)

no way its fully 'sit down with headphones and nothing else machine'.

 

try to get into the 2d sequencing , gateandstep shit. sean likes the special rez it has.

 

 

alas no noise source. always made me a little sad. and no noise for LFO. still wonderful machine. see - this is why i never make any tracks. worrying about the lack of noise on a 30 year old box.

 

please tell me that you still have your 202 and would never, ever sell it.

 

ha

yeah still got it

Hey Autechre, I posted a pretty long one earlier, wouldn’t blame you if you skipped the whole thing so I’ll make it more succinct (feel a bit cheeky doing this as a new member) :

 

Would you guys consider coming back to Belfast and/or Dublin? (I know it’s not Russia or the southern states but the closer the better!). I saw you here (Belfast) back on the Untilted tour, can’t remember much of it tho but saw you again in London for the Oversteps tour, won’t be forgetting that one, was incredible.

 

Missed you down in Dublin last time and was going to ask how the sound was cos I had been to a show at the same venue a couple of months previous and it was really bad but I’ve just watched a youtube audience recording of it, and from what I can tell, it sounds pretty good, also I can hear tuinorizn towards the end of that set. Was that track something you had developed from the live set for the album or had you been working on it after the ‘main’ tour had finished?

 

Favourite Kool Keith-related record?

 

It's also great to see that my fav musicians are showing no signs of slowing down :) Cheers for the music

 

 

was it at temple bar? played there a few times, i thought it was alright in soundcheck but that place changes a lot when it's full, so i dunno

 

yeah it kind of grew out of the live set

 

err matthew

 

Well this is my recording from upstairs of the Temple Bar set.. sounds great to me.

Sean, Rob.... PLEASE say high to my italian friind Guliamo who is mad for you guys and is "yay" ing all over this recording.... he'd fucking die...

In fact can you name his first child?

Yea, Temple Bar Music Centre, now Button Factory. Yea, was at a Clark gig there a few months before you played, the sound was really waek (maybe that was just Clark tho..jk) Must've got a better set up or sound engineer!

it's a bit weakening how licensees sometimes fuck up artwork, you have to just kind of sign off and hope for the best really

Well there it is. I'm going to set some time to really dig in and get a better grip on the little guy. I appreciate the replies!

two days ago i spilt water all over my monomachine, octatrack and a4. once this thread is closed i'm gonna finally turn it back on and hope for the best. hopefully dried out by now.

FWIW - leave it as long as u possibly can, just incase its not quite dry, i rushed it once and failed. dry hot space would be good idea

Wonder if it'll work for those as it does a cell phone....stick em in a bag of rice, or box or rice whatever they fit in, and let it soak up all the moisture. This is done to wet cell phones a lot and I've seen it actually work.

Here's a video I knocked up a while back using visuals from Prometheus 'Weyland Files' (not from the film, but pseudo-documentary DVD extra footage), soundtracked by Corc. Finally managed to get it uploaded somewhere tonight.
