i picked this up on WATMM
" the Autechre - Untilted hoax
by Robert Martin of www.recordlabelrecords.org
After making the unintentionally sensational hoax
video of
an American hostage being beheaded in Iraq, and
subsenquently having the video getting picked up by
mainstream media news as a real "terrorist beheading,"
I
realized the full potential of internet forgeries,
especially when utilizing peer-to-peer file sharing
networks.
Like others, when I first heard the Untilted bfhmp3
version
I questioned its authenticity. I used this mass
confusion as
an opportunity to create even more confusion, hence
the "2nd
version" of Untilted. This "2nd version" is actually a
mishmash of some of my songs, combined with two tracks
of
the original leakedversion. Most of them are from an
album
that can be found here -
http://www.recordlabelrecords.org/lotf.html. (mp3
clips up
on site)
My artist name is Fluorescent Grey. I finished the
aforementioned album (lying on the floor...) long
before
Autechre's "Draft 7.30" was released. Many apologies
if I
offended anyone in the
process of conducting this internet experiment. I am
not
intending to interfere with Autechre's album sales, in
fact
I am huge fan. I am humbled by so muchoftheir work,
and was
not attempting to portray my own work as better or
equal.
If you have a "notable" status like that of Autechre
or another famous electronic musician, people tend to
be
much more open to liking the particular music you
release,
regardless of its quality.
thanks
Robbie
