Something that really bugs me is that when someone uses say a certain type
of synthesis like granular, or maybe chops up a sample into pieces, well
then "they must be copying Autechre!" or bullshit like that. You mean to
tell me that because one person uses a certain type of synthesis or makes
something complex, that means that they're copying Autechre? That's
completely stupid that people would think that.
I can understand though in sometimes a lot of cases, it actually sounds like
someone is directly copying them (style of sounds, or melody, etc) but
Autechre are not any different than any of us. We're all human. Anyone
experimenting with a computer or a modular synth is going to come up with
some cool sounds eventually. I think part of the reason people think that
Autechre are the future of "IDM" is cause for the most part* nothing better
ever comes out. (I think we can all relate to this, although there is some
really cool stuff out lately *(Lexaunculpt, Richard Devine) that's really
wicked.
