Slovenian AE Radio Interview

Cool interview.

I like how they swear a lot and keep saying that they don't care about stuff.

That's pretty rock and roll.

Great interview! Thanks for posting!

Couple of observations:

1. Love the idea of the new stream of live releases. I prefer their approach of selection vs. releasing almost everything along the career: King Crimson, Grateful Dead or Throbbing Gristle serve as examples of other approach. It comes close to an actual compulsion than willingness to document ones history of musical progress. AE are at the other end. Their musical progression justifies a release. 

2. On the other hand, I hope that next batch of lives will not eliminate/postpone plans for future album. I'd still like them to release a proper physical disc! SOON please!

3. Interesting point of the low turnout in the mid 2000s during their live tour in the US. Wonder what are the reasons? An imminent dip after Confield (incomprehensive racket to the vider audience)? Low popularity of electronic music then? Was it the same in Europe? Was dubstep a game changer?

4. Cool point on people doing club music without going to clubs. Most of their music seems to be listened at home rather than in the public. What will be the consequences?

6. Great points on Skrillex and Kanye! 

Nice interview..and well pleased they are hoping to release some of the new live sets :)

I don't understand the fetishizing of "physical releases" that I've read here a few times. I haven't bought a disc in over a decade and I don't miss it at all. Also, It's slightly offensive that a masterwork like elseq is somehow not viewed as a proper release.

For some interacting with a physical object (holding the disc, seeing the artwork, etc.) adds to the experience of the music in that it's not just music at that point it's the whole concept that the artist is trying to convey through the music manifest in a physical entity that lives in their house

Seems primitive tbh or juvenile

 

Perhaps I should have added that in no way am I saying that something needs to be on a physical release to be considered official, it's just that some people really enjoy having a physical object to interact with which helps give them a deeper connection to the music and the concepts behind it.

For most of the AE_LIVE and el-seq stuff I'm actually very content just having the files because it is more about the music itself (variations and jamming) as compared to say a full length album which is more song based and molded towards a direct goal or message through the music.

Thanks for linking this interview

I wish they'd go into more technical details

Laptop, Max and midi controller - all the technical details you need :)

And a DAC.

And a tape recorder, where they seem to be having trouble pressing record at the start of their set.

Autechre ALWAYS do fantastic interviews - they never try and be sarcastic/smart arsed etc.. just talk about their own music with passion without going on about how talking about it is strange or media-this-that-or-the-other blah blah.

RDJ and Squarepusher take note!

God why play tracks in the background when the line is bad?

Also talking good about Skrillex???!?!?!?

Well, they said that they totally understand why American teenagers like it. I don't like Skrillex but his music definitely has a lot of energy to it and undoubtedly achieves a certain standard in production quality so many people like it. What they say about Skrillex isn't stupid at all
