Guest Phonejack Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 This has to be one of my favorite things that ae do. Fleure, Gantz Graf, Chenc9, Acroyear2, LCC, etc. It seems most of Autechre's fastest tracks have their fastest parts at the beginning and then they sort of chill out and collapse towards the end. It kicks so much ass. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/84746-breakdowns-at-the-beginning/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yeah, it's a pretty awesome technique. Something I've kinda stolen from them for some of my own work!

Grain Bastard Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Its a sign of great music imo - throw everything in there at the beginning but you will still hear the track 'progress' as it slowly evolves to silence........ very intentional imo Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Grain Bastard's signature Hide all signatures http://bewegungrecords.bandcamp.com/https://soundcloud.com/punishahttp://altered-echo.com/ http://weeklybeats.com/#/grainbastard/ Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/84746-breakdowns-at-the-beginning/#findComment-2211939 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjatron Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I've had an inkling for a long time (recently especially) that Sean and Rob will remix each other on the same track. Take 1 1 is for example. The first half one of them made and then handed over to the other to completely morph it into something else, or vice versa. There are a lot of tracks on Exai that have that pattern. It's very possible especially if they are working within the same production workstation. Like they create the "Exai" foundation that they can both work in and share / remix each others sounds, sets, etc. I mean it's just a thought but still a cool idea nonetheless. I only wish I could do it with someone Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/84746-breakdowns-at-the-beginning/#findComment-2212441 Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Yeah, that's a good way of looking at it. Also, from personal experience (in live jams), sometimes the buildup to the intense section is largely uninteresting (ie. spending a lot of time fucking around with sounds until everything sounds right), so starting intense and deconstructing it is a better option.. Kinda fits in with the idea that most of Autechre's tracks are edited jams.

Something I've kinda stolen from them for some of my own work! these days my trick is to slap a gentle fade out on the beginning, throughout a whole track. works every time! i used to use steep fade outs but i was terrible, really! >>> ¨¨¨\.............................................................

psn Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Yes, but I don't think the human ear will notice it if the difference is only 1dB.
