autechre's view on hiphop
taken from thewire.co.uk for your reading pleasure....
"The whole idea of transforming sound is HipHop, to us anyway," says Sean.
"Taking something that almost already exists, and doing something fresh with
it, fucking it over and doing something new, taking it somewhere that we'd
like it to be. Rather than the emphasis on it being different for the sake of
it, it's more that it's different because we're different. We allow the fact
that we don't quite fit in to be a positive thing.
"It's about sleight of hand, where you're revealing things and then pulling
them back. It's that sort of dynamic. But I think that's HipHop; the whole
attitude of wanting to do people's heads in a little bit but also give them
something that they'll really appreciate comes from that - Mantronix to early
Bomb Squad - where there were little tricks in there, and you knew the
producer had stuck them in there because he knew it would do people's heads
in. And it'd be like: fucking hell, how did he do that? Or, that's a totally
made thing to do with your track. But it didn't suffer because it wasn't..."
