One can argue that all music revolves around math. The first western musical theory was documented by Pythagoreas and involved calculating mathematical ratios between two notes to construct a scale. It gets really weird after that, with people constructing mathematical charts of the universe with music as the root...but anyway that's all from a book called Measure for Measure by Thomas Levenson. Autechre on the other hand might use math in any way they see fit. It would probably be the best idea to ask them instead of all us list bots. I would assume that they synthesize their own sounds digitally, some people have mentioned that they use (or have used) Csound, which is very math intensive. That's all I can really say without rambling for hours. If you want me to, just ask, cause i always can... in obscurity, lee
