i think you are indeed missing something about the sound then, because really it is not that easy to make the patterns (while very nonrhythmical at times) of static that ae does. i can usually detect method in their madness.. however at the same time i am not into the beatless noise manipulation for 100% of a track, such as i get the impression of for farmer's manual. the purpose of this for ae is to bring a beat / track out of the mess;; that is the reward.. >> I just wanted to say that the only real complaint I have about Autechre's latest is all of the "interludes" - two or three minutes of digital manipulation that often shows up at the beginning or end of tracks. Almost without exception, I find I'm just waiting for these bits to pass, and get back to the "track proper". This isn't a blanket dismissal of this kind of sound processing, it's just that what Autechre are doing reminds me of the results I've found by downloading a copy of Cool Edit or Goldwave and applying change after change after change, pretty much randomly. >> == cg // kracfive records:: http://kracfive.apex-it.com _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
