I was trying to explain to a friend exactly why I so impassioned by
Autechre. I was listening to the Gescom Keynell, I think the second
track. I asked her to pick out all the different things going on in
the tune. At each point she'd say maybe three or four, and I'd point
out some extra stuff going on that is very subtle. This went on for a
couple of tracks, both of us just listening, disecting what they put
together so smoothly. Then she started to notice how different rythms
slowly morph and melt their way around the track, how two totally
disjoint sounds slowly start to clash and eventually combine to form
even more beautiful sounds and rythms. After about 15 minutes I told
her to stop analysing it, that Ae don't do all this neat stuff just
because they can, that the whole piece is sculpted and shaped from
start to finish in this way, with sounds blending and melding, and
rythms overlapping and clashing. All six of the keynells were
listended to.
She's not a notal convert yet, but I think she understands my
obsession a bit better, and recognises their genious more.
I go to see Autechre this Friday in Dublin for the first time ever. I
haven't been this excited since I stopped believeing in Santa Claus!
