Has anyone caught Autechre on their current US tour? Any reports?

Denver is their last stop so I can't speak personally, with absolute confidence. But from what I've heard from Poland (warp 25) and UK bloc, they're at top form... incredible. Not unlike the ~2001 tour - totally mind melting. Very excited... OK that's an understatement. On Wed, Sep 30, 2015, 4:51 PM Chris Taylor <christaylor415@gmail.com> wrote:

Yeah, saw 'em here in Portland last week. The opener (the impossible-to-google Cygnus) was awesome. Live hardware set that was electro-rooted with some great development and movement. http://cygnusat.bandcamp.com/ Autechre played in the dark. Each with their laptop, screens dimmed down to almost nothing. Nothing I recognized, but I haven't really been able to ID individual tracks since Quaristice. The sound at Holocene was pretty good but many in the crowd would not shut up their dumb mouths long enough to hear the quiet passages. Things would go sort of noodly noisey space and then drop into incredibly fast and 'hard' beats, full spectrum clattering glitchy things at 190bpm. Midrange "melodies" like they figured out how to suck sound backwards through the speakers. Pause. Repeat with a variation on timbre/tonality or maybe a hint of an acid squiggle done so fast it was gone before you're sure that's what happened. 60 minutes of this and then they unplugged their laptops and slunk off. Rob Hall did some nice Warp-ish DJ stuff but it was a worknight and I had to go pretty quickly. Was it good? Yeah, it's a treat for the ears. Feels like there is a bit of disdain, or at least indifference, for the audience and what they're hoping to get out of a live show, which I don't think is new. I was hoping for some kind of the 4/4 stuff that surfaced a couple of years back, and I had to resist the urge to shout out "Basscadet!!" like an idm-dork "Free bird!!" .. but as always, we get the thing Autechre want to do, not what we want them to. - Eric Sorenson - N45.569, W122.763 - http://twitter.com/ahpook -

This pretty much sums up their show at Decibel. Most I talked to after were put off by them playing in the dark, but I loved it, just the sound. In addition to Cygnus and Rob Hall, we had Laurel Halo play before Ae came on. That was awesome. On Wed, Sep 30, 2015 at 4:15 PM, Eric Sorenson <eric@explosive.net> wrote:

Laurel Halo was fucking amazing. First half of her show just blew my mind. Second half was more of a standard 4x4 fare – good, but not great as the first half. FWIW, I feel a bit of let down for the whole “show in the dark” thing that Ae did, but yeah, the music is what matters… I was with my eyes closed on pretty much any show I went during the fest, so not a big deal. :) Thanks.

Caught the Chicago show at the Metro. Sound was great. The stage was dark and they were hidden behind monitor speakers, so not like a Lady Gaga Spectacle. Not much in the way of quiet passages. Lots of savage beats that almost turn into grooves. Lots of impossibly complicated filtering on atonal lead synth sounds. I thought Cygnus was ... overly busy. Autechre have actually perfected live electronic music, in that they generally have at most 3 components to what they're doing, but one component might be kick hits, weird FM noises, and vowel filtered sustained tones; they build up rhythm patterns with radically different sounds so that each sound plays alone. At most they'll add a couple of other sounds -- time stretched screams, granular backwards guitar, whatever. But the arrangement is actually sparse; the sounds themselves bring the chaos. What I posted to Facebook during the set: "Either this is Autechre in Chicago or a black T Shirt convention at the Metro. Music is overwhelming. Like crashing a helicopter in a hurricane" "People dancing to Autechre do this thing that looks like Orthodox Jewish men davening in schul." "Autechre: Estonian Speak And Spells arguing with pissed-off Orcs." "Autechre: Robot opposums fighting over chicken bones in a dumpster at the bottom of a mineshaft."

The dimmed screens are part of the reason why most music created in the last 30 years will disappear to the ages. Technique is something "up the sleeve", computer-aided, secretive, proprietary. I don't listen to Autechre anymore because I don't have patience for long-form conceptual noise anymore. On Thu, Oct 1, 2015 at 11:01 AM, kent williams <chaircrusher@gmail.com> wrote:

Seeing them in Boston Sunday. Will report back with strong opinions post-show. (Autechre, not One Direction) Also seeing Kraftwerk at the wang Saturday. That'll be...interesting.

This cracked me up. Yes, certainly a special time on a special website. :P Artists I recommend: - Solar Fields - Henrik José - Christian Löffler - Imogen Heap - kaneel - Kate Havnevik - Lamb - Modeselektor - Röyksopp - Styrofoam - Sylvan Esso - Télépopmusik - Temposhark - Tipper - Trentemøller - zunzagi These really blend the lines between genres, but I'd call all of them IDM, at least loosely. There are also a lot of glitch, trip-hop, downtempo, and ambient influences in this artist list. Happy listening! On Sat, 3 Oct 2015 at 05:06 Zombiefly <zombiefly@gmail.com> wrote:

Now it's my turn to start digging. :D Thanks, Connor! I'm also going to do a little personal commercial: I write IDM (among other genres) and release it under the artist name Juliana Stein.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I already have and love most everything listed but a few are new and liking so far (henrik, ruby my dear). Any other suggestions from anyone? I'm open to anything, looking for specific albums. I'm probably burnt out on glitchy idm for now, anything melodic or even hiphop-ish or indie or anything really would be awesome. IDM ish acts that incorporate the former would be amazing m8's -- Jon Sands Fohdeesha Media http://fohdeesha.com/

The stage was dark and they were hidden behind monitor speakers, so not like a Lady Gaga Spectacle. Not much in the way of quiet passages.  Lots of savage beats that almost turn into grooves.  Lots of impossibly complicated filtering on atonal lead synth sounds. I thought Cygnus was ... overly busy.  Autechre have actually perfected live electronic music, in that they generally have at most 3 components to what they're doing, but one component might be kick hits, weird FM noises, and vowel filtered sustained tones; they build up rhythm patterns with radically different sounds so that each sound plays alone.  At most they'll add a couple of other sounds -- time stretched screams, granular backwards guitar, whatever.   But the arrangement is actually sparse; the sounds themselves bring the chaos. What I posted to Facebook during the set: "Either this is Autechre in Chicago or a black T Shirt convention at the Metro. Music is overwhelming. Like crashing a helicopter in a hurricane" "People dancing to Autechre do this thing that looks like Orthodox Jewish men davening in schul.""Autechre: Estonian Speak And Spells arguing with pissed-off Orcs.""Autechre: Robot opposums fighting over chicken bones in a dumpster at the bottom of a mineshaft."

Yeah, saw 'em here in Portland last week. The opener (the impossible-to-google Cygnus) was awesome. Live hardware set that was electro-rooted with some great development and movement. http://cygnusat.bandcamp.com/ Autechre played in the dark. Each with their laptop, screens dimmed down to almost nothing. Nothing I recognized, but I haven't really been able to ID individual tracks since Quaristice. The sound at Holocene was pretty good but many in the crowd would not shut up their dumb mouths long enough to hear the quiet passages. Things would go sort of noodly noisey space and then drop into incredibly fast and 'hard' beats, full spectrum clattering glitchy things at 190bpm. Midrange "melodies" like they figured out how to suck sound backwards through the speakers. Pause. Repeat with a variation on timbre/tonality or maybe a hint of an acid squiggle done so fast it was gone before you're sure that's what happened. 60 minutes of this and then they unplugged their laptops and slunk off. Rob Hall did some nice Warp-ish DJ stuff but it was a worknight and I had to go pretty quickly. Was it good? Yeah, it's a treat for the ears. Feels like there is a bit of disdain, or at least indifference, for the audience and what they're hoping to get out of a live show, which I don't think is new. I was hoping for some kind of the 4/4 stuff that surfaced a couple of years back, and I had to resist the urge to shout out "Basscadet!!" like an idm-dork "Free bird!!" .. but as always, we get the thing Autechre want to do, not what we want them to.  - Eric Sorenson - N45.569, W122.763 - http://twitter.com/ahpook -  

Went last night to Brooklyn Masonic Hall. Had a great time. I only caught the last 10 minutes of Cygnus but it was so quiet and badly mixed that I can't even comment regarding the quality of his music and frankly made me pretty concerned for how Autechre was gonna sound. Fortunately the volume increased considerably, and the house seemingly turned on the middles and highs (thank guys!) about 5 minutes into their set. Kent summed up their sound pretty well, but it was a little less techno-y then I remember them six/seven years ago, with few moments 4/4 kicks and more either broken half-time plodding feel (slightly dubstep-ian if you will) or tear-out fast paced stuff. I don't think I had ever appreciated how dry and harmonic their hi hats (or equivalents really) are. There were a few moments of melancholic pads and at one point a Oversteps FM melody lead line, but in general it was pretty aggressive, crazy sounding shit with a lot of bass weight and big kick drums. People were into it, I was close enough to the front for chatter to be a non issue, and it ended after an hour on the dot without an obvious peak in their set. But fair enough. It was sick. Was very happy to just hear their music presented with other excited fans and drink a couple beers and even verbally confirm that parts were especially sick with the friends I went with. It's a concert but it's also a party you know? It's one thing to talk through a set uninterested but it's also great to share something with friends and not have it just be a dry observational experience completely devoid of any element of socializing. But hey I like going to clubs to hear house and techno too. Finally, good on Autechre for having the focus of their live show be music and only music, not some rocked up performance or dazzling visuals. There's a lot of difficult music out in the world but not much of it is as rewarding as theirs. On Sat, Oct 3, 2015 at 7:49 PM, Dan Esposito <desposito321@yahoo.com> wrote:

Saw 'em at The Paradise Rock Club in Boston Sunday night. Not much to say. No introductions, no visuals, no lights. Just glitched-out, bassy insanity. It was great, but I only stayed for half the set because I'd already been there for over four hours. Doors opened at 7:00 and Autechre came on sometime around or after 11:00. Cygnus was good. Lots of acid basslines. Nice mix of aggressive 4/4 stuff and dark, ambient weirdness. I just wish things had started sooner. I don't have the wherewithal to stand around in a sweaty club for 5+ hours. Maybe if there was seating, or if I'd had my good earplugs on me, or if the levels had been less mind-meltingly loud by the end of things. Perhaps if I hadn't already seen Kraftwerk the night before I'd have had more patience. IDK. I hope they come around again though.

I saw them in Portsmouth, NH last night. Enjoyed this show much more than the Decibel show in Seattle. Sound was better IMO and as we were standing like 20 ft from them and the stage was low, it just felt a lot more intimate. A lot of people used the lights on their phones when taking pictures and this would light up the entire stage area. That sort of sucked.

I was there, too! Fucking unreal show! Sound was perfect. Rob talked to me before and was very excited about how good the sound system was vs. the "shit rig" in Brooklyn. - CRT
