This is from an soon-to-be-printed Autechre article i wrote:
Gescom, which stands for Gestalt Communications, is the mysterious Autechre
side-project. "Gescom's not just me and Rob, explains Booth. Its a whole
load of us. There's probably about 30 people that do stuff" ... As it turns
out, the ethic behind Gescom is a continuation of the crew ethic of their
teenage tagging days. Instead of crediting themselves and the other
individuals responsible for a particular Gescom release, "all we do is put
the crew up," Booth explains. "We don't write our names, we just offer the
crew." While Gescom displays the same attention to texture and detail that
Autechre does, it conveys, at least to Booth and Brown, a very different
headspace, one mediated by the involvement with other people. Simply
explained once by Rob, Gescom is "us not being Autechre."
