this might seem very sappy but I recently lost my mother and I am finding so much comfort playing these twitch streams when I can't sleep because I just have this constant stream of wisdom and kindness coming from my greatest hero besides my parents. I love you Sean! and your music.
“I don’t understand this argument.. So much hardware is digital. And so much of what you do in software is based on analog process” YES THANK YOU. Jeez finally someone telling like it is. I get so tired of the argument. Use everything!
Analogue is transistors resistors diodes & valves, etc. Digital is chips. You have a virtual analogue synth with digital chips trying to emulate the sound of analogue equipment. Analogue components have toxic pastes or vacuums or whatever inside them. Digitals uses the binary code of I's or 0's by applying voltage to make one or the other pop up as an "on" or an "off". I or 0
Man. This made my day. I was almost hesitant to click due to the "don't meet your heroes" thing. I've been a huge fan since 95.. but never heard the guys even speak. Sean is such a cool guy. Expected but nice to have confirmed I suppose. Really relatable.
What I'm loving about this whole stream, is Sean's reaction to hyper-nerdy, super specific questions. The kind of stuff people expect him to chime with. But, then he just laughs and says "what the fk you on about?; I have no idea". Slightly asocial, but funny as fk. Seems like he'd be a laugh to hang out with.
2:26:00 that entire topic really resonates with me, i recognize almost everything he's on about. it's really hard for me to find someone who really understands what it is that's bothering me, cause i feel like i'm too social to be autistic, but too autistic to be neurotypical. this niche electronic music scene pretty much satisfies all sides of my mind. being able to go deep into certain topics and noticing details and patterns everywhere, while at the same time being in touch with your emotions and empathic side. i get the feeling some other aspies are not that into overly emotional stuff, that they'd rather do something purely technical and methodical. but honestly everything i've heard from him so far is amazing. you can tell his personality from the music of course but to hear him talking is really nice.
Robs version of this interview: -yea sure, - I don't know. - kind of - tough to say - I guess so but not really - mmmmm, sure, I guess - Next question...
I have listened to Autechre since 1997. The fact this sit down chat video is over 6 hours says alot about the group and style in itself!!! I can not wait to have the time to watch this entire thing. Long live Autechre! My first experience was the Daren Aronofsky movie "Pi" and will listen till I die . "I will sleep when I am dead" (Gescom D1 lyrics "I think?")
Seen you guys many times in NYC and always loved Rob Hall for the openings. Nice to actually hear your thoughts and stories in our current times. Thanks again.
His little tangent in neuro divergence is so cool and inspiring. Because i also gravitated to musc both kistening and creating it. Its so cool seeing someone whos music im very much into talk about that in such a positive light
This is great, thanks for doing this - great to hear Seans thoughts on many things, was a pleasure to meet them both around 94 when they were touring with LFO ; down to earth and approachable guys. And legends.
I have watched chunks of this over the last few days. Here are few of my mental notes. They may be wrong. Stuff I found interesting. Writing from memory: The track Paralel sun on Quaristice was done by making recordings of the nord lead through a reverb, and then chopping up the audio in a daw, Digital Performer? You can play with the feeling of physical space this way. The reverb is baked into the audio recordings. Sean has used Renoise. Some of the tracks on Quaristice were done using Renoise. Rob was (still is ?) keen on the Akai MPC 1000 with JJOS There is a whole heap of things to explore in the quadraverb, in part because of the amount of MIDI control. His current studio setup is just a laptop running Max (with speakers, headphones, interface ). He likes to make bespoke stuff in Max. He has written his own oscillators for Max. Stereo widening trick: use a denoising algorithm to isolate some noise in a signal, pan hard left and right, flip phase on one. (I think?) In the old days, tracks were made by just recording the stereo out of the mixer to DAT presumable. Nowadays he prefers to work this way, recording the stereo signal, rather than multitracking in DAW. Track writing could be playing with a single Max patch all day. Most of the time it could sound like crap, until he stumbles on something worth recording. He thinks there are advantages to the minimal computer + Max studio setup idea. Its easier to ship for gigs, and uses less fuel. A hardware studio setup is limited in the number of types of voices, the computer can have many. But if you have an infinite fund to build a studio it could have many voices. (for a recording the stereo out of the mixer style of setup idea?) He thinks 12 TET is ok, and isnt some sort of microtonal purist about using it. It's also useful and convenient. His Max patches can use different equal divisions of the octave, and can morph between them in some sort of way that I dont quite understand.. A scale can be translated to different EDOs, TET? Maintained scale relations? something like this. His neurodivergent style he has found a way to work for him, and made a career out of it. Even if he wasnt making money with music it would still be something he would be doing.
Likes FM7 and FM8. Likes Zebra VST. 46:35 "I don't really check out VSTs. I'm just using Max for everything. So if I want to do something I'll just try and figure out how to do it in there. And I don't run any Audio Units or VSTs in Max. That's just a point of principle really. because there are some things where you think it'd be easier to run a vst and quite often i'll find that my versions of them are better and yeah there's a lot of things that i would just wouldn't be able to run like synths and stuff like that it wouldn't work really because of the way our synths need to know in advance what the duration of the note is and our sequences aren't outputting no offs they're just outputting durations so there's a kind of limit in terms of how much stuff we can use ... " The quadraverb could recive MIDI note info. "we rely on it alot because I think its important" "I'd rather build the thing and have my own version of it because I can probably improve on a commercial one."
Has used Sunvox. on trackers: "think it there's a thing of making your tracks incrementally more and more perfect until they're done that i find a little bit just doesn't work for me" 1:10:00 i remember reading that you are just using max, gen and some c externals what kind of things were necessary to warrant coding into externals as opposed to regular patches?
Sean seems like a very well adjusted and humble bloke. I don't think many artists as revered as he is would be that down to earth. I'm about half way through so far, so someone might ask this question in the bit I haven't yet seen. It got me wondering how often he's recognised when he's out and about anywhere in the world? Or if it's a very rare occurrence?
i watched last videos , like 6 parts.. learned a lot. know more. I'm more cool. now it's again 6 hours.. also going tfru whole thing. Sean is so cool af . Autechre legendary shit no matter what, wishing all best. !!!!!
yes. I was the guy who had the signal/noise comment because i was sort of referencing that. Its cool that some people actually notice it and pay attention to it.
3:58:00 I used to get have those same experiences when I was a child, roughly 5-7 years old. My mam used to call them deliriums, and I'd come out of sleep in this strange kind of waking-dream state, and be terrified for the duration and then suddenly snap out of it and not be able to fully remember what had happened. The few bits I remember were things to do with scale, like looking through a keyhole and seeing a giant eye on the other side, but the eye was infinitely huge so it didn't really make any sense that I could see the whole thing from my vantage point. It would be as if it were right close up to my face but simultaneously galaxy sized. They were horrible experiences though. There's a theory that some of those kind of experiences, and night terrors that entail entity encounters, are spontaneous dumps of DMT within the brain. Might be something to that, as so much of it is so similar to features of DMT/Psilocybin. I also had a bad case of meningitis around 4-5 years old, maybe there's a link there. Super fascinating either way
Same here, mine were also to do with scale/distances. Rushing over flat but infinite spaces at incredible speeds incredibly close but at the same time super far away. Mega weird. Sometimes I get hints of the 'feelings' that accompanied those dreams, a sort of vague overwhelming sensation. They were never all that horrible tho although the semi asleep/awake bit use to freak my family out.
Damn I naively thought this was just me. I had the exact same thing. Possibly the most disturbing feeling I've felt in my life. I always wondered whether it was some memory of the trauma of birth or something
@@s_9878 I get this sometimes while lying in bed - feeling/"seeing" myself stretch across the entire house, or possibly the entire neighborhood, while simultaneously feeling/seeing myself and the space around me as an infinitesimal speck of almost nothing like im compressed into a single molecule...hard to explain. Also I used to have a recurring dream in childhood where a sumo wrestler was standing next to a toothpick in a huge white blank space, the toothpick would snap but make the loudest noise as if it was the size of the sumo wrestler snapping. Just trying to add some examples to this interesting thread.
@@vincentlane1175 Haha yep, sounds about right. I had a period too a few years back where overindulgence and sleep deprivation would lead to me episodes that were somewhat similar, except they were actually within the confines of sleep/dreams and would follow a narrative. Again, to do with scale, like something ridiculous like me being at the head of a multinational company that was about to collapse over something infinitesimally small like a grain of sand, and then awakening having a full blown panic attack. Hilarious in retrospect, terrifying at the time
I only remember this kind of thing from being ill/feverish as a young kid. The most vivid memory of those is dreaming/hallucinating about a giant house/building right in front of me, see through some kind of fish eye. After waking I told my mother about it, knowing it couldn't be true, but it was what I had experiences anyway. She told me then it was some kind of delirium, which makes sense. Nice to be hearing/reading about these kind of experiences by other people (well not so nice, but at least relatable.
that unreleased track from autechre live in ny - (track 06) - hits me so hard, more so than any autechre track.. it 's something with that melody, physically and mentally it resuscitate me and it 's like it calibrates me with the purpose solely to give me a slap in the face because i was in a sleep-like state and i didn 't knew it. can 't grasp why though.. . it just feels so different.
Man, all of this technical stuff is totally over my head. I love autechre’s music but I’d be totally lost trying to make music that produces a similar atmosphere to something like altbzz
so inspiring. music as a compulsion, I like that. Now I want a Quadraverb. Just watched the video called: ''The Basics of MIDI: Continuous Control of QuadraVerb's resonators ...''. It's true, older hardware sometimes has quirks and advanced functions that recent gear doesn't have.. no, not talking about D-Beam.. ah ah.
I absolutely agree! Both Sean and Rob are handsome guys (then and now) but something about Sean's face structure and striking gaze makes me melt inside a little haha
Interesting after so many years ae (sean) have a long interview. would be great to time stamp the whole thing as six hours (much appreciated) but we work and families and stuff to do. ta.
Here is a time line of the questions I asked Sean (Thank you so much for taking the time with my questions Sean!) 3:57:37 Do you often get inspired or scared of your dreams? 5:07:35 How did you process Milk D's rap on the track Milk DX? 4:16:28 Do you think music is a lot about gears and fancy equipments these days? 4:19:24 Were you ever been into Breakdance or sports? Peace and respect to everyone! 💜
Autechre interviews are rare like rocking horse turd, then this comes along with him talking about private stuff an aspergers. Very interesting and a great bloke. Would love to meet him. See you at the barbican in October. I'll be the geek on my own sitting in the first row.
As a Graffiti artist back in 88-97 in NYC myself, I wanted to know your tag name and what styles you bombed. Silly question but watching this provides many ardent fans in depth topics. Although I doubt this would be answered by you as it's already over a week old.
@1:09:41 somebody mentions that SIGN sounds warmth than previous releases, and Sean says "because of the tech, there's a lot of MC". What would that mean? Roland MC-202?
Saw Autechre in Allston, Massachusetts I think back in 2016. Was so fuckin good. Was right before everyone had weed oil pens and we had to smoke out the car outside on the street lol! So fuckin annoying covid hit shit right after weed legalization. Still haven't really had the chance to vape at a club yet.
I was there! it was like walking into a factory for me, and not even on a musical sense, on one side there were dark ravers who were going wild like a wave, and then there were the old school fans and people who knew of their early work standing up on a balcony, drinking and just chilling. I swear one guy was grading papers in a lonely corner booth, was a fucking trip.
Around the 1:03:00 mark, he's talking about an album called Pressure. Who is the artist? Sounds like he's saying "Gang Green" but I couldn't find anything.
Some time stamps of bits and questions I thought where cool or funny, Will continuously be adding to this as I keep coming back to this

The intro is just like the beginning of every Autechre record.
FLeure'd
Draft 7.30 intro
every time I listen to their full albums I think of this quote ~*~
this might seem very sappy but I recently lost my mother and I am finding so much comfort playing these twitch streams when I can't sleep because I just have this constant stream of wisdom and kindness coming from my greatest hero besides my parents. I love you Sean! and your music.
Not sappy. May you find healing and comfort wherever is preferable to you. Take care
So sorry, Arash. This isn't sappy at all - you do whatever you need to do to look after yourself.
Really sorry for your loss. Much love to you x
Sorry to hear that. Take care!
“I don’t understand this argument.. So much hardware is digital. And so much of what you do in software is based on analog process” YES THANK YOU. Jeez finally someone telling like it is. I get so tired of the argument. Use everything!

Man. This made my day. I was almost hesitant to click due to the "don't meet your heroes" thing. I've been a huge fan since 95.. but never heard the guys even speak. Sean is such a cool guy. Expected but nice to have confirmed I suppose. Really relatable.
was thinkning the same thing
Its somehow hugely validating to find out one of your favourite artists shares so many interests and points of view.
Yeah I hear that. Discovered them in 92/3 or so and they've meant so much me ever since. I worry about the 'don't meet your heroes' thing as well.
What I'm loving about this whole stream, is Sean's reaction to hyper-nerdy, super specific questions. The kind of stuff people expect him to chime with. But, then he just laughs and says "what the fk you on about?; I have no idea". Slightly asocial, but funny as fk. Seems like he'd be a laugh to hang out with.
Had the privlidge to meet and hang with both guys in AE. Sean and Rob were both so incredibly genuine, kind, friendly, and overall lovely.
That's super cool opportunity
Backstory?
I would faint

Why 137? It's my favourite number ;)
@@helllique Don't really know, I just like odd numbers, so 3 of them feels good.
@@redorchidee1372 nice. It's the most magical number in the universe haha
Aya has same problem.. from manchester of course, big artist from there.

seans a genuine ween fan. mind blowing. He even knows the pod.
Ween
My memory is shit but I wanna say I asked the ween question
Pure Guava confirmed best Ween album by default, I've been saying it for YEARS!
Thanks so much for mentioning our video - means the world to the institute, we're huge fans really :)
The best part of this AMA is from 0:00 to 6:16:18
Holy shit!
That’s so fucking funng
I can’t fucking breathe
What does AMA mean??

“You can’t have two geniuses” and yet here they are, Sean and Rob, two geniuses
Sean Booth is a mastermind. Sorry to hear his wonderful wife who was a musician too (Mira Calix, a.k.a. Chantal P.) died as well. May she R.I.P.!
Really sad, hadn't heard the suicide bit. Saw her perform many years ago, her stuff was great@@3D_TUTS

Thanks very much for the upload!
i watched last videos , like 6 parts.. learned a lot. know more. I'm more cool.
now it's again 6 hours.. also going tfru whole thing. Sean is so cool af .
Autechre legendary shit no matter what, wishing all best. !!!!!

4:52:33 bro i’ve had this same effect going on for a while, crazy to hear someone else talk about it. thought i was just crazy

Also I used to have a recurring dream in childhood where a sumo wrestler was standing next to a toothpick in a huge white blank space, the toothpick would snap but make the loudest noise as if it was the size of the sumo wrestler snapping. Just trying to add some examples to this interesting thread.
@@vincentlane1175 Haha yep, sounds about right. I had a period too a few years back where overindulgence and sleep deprivation would lead to me episodes that were somewhat similar, except they were actually within the confines of sleep/dreams and would follow a narrative. Again, to do with scale, like something ridiculous like me being at the head of a multinational company that was about to collapse over something infinitesimally small like a grain of sand, and then awakening having a full blown panic attack. Hilarious in retrospect, terrifying at the time
I only remember this kind of thing from being ill/feverish as a young kid. The most vivid memory of those is dreaming/hallucinating about a giant house/building right in front of me, see through some kind of fish eye. After waking I told my mother about it, knowing it couldn't be true, but it was what I had experiences anyway. She told me then it was some kind of delirium, which makes sense. Nice to be hearing/reading about these kind of experiences by other people (well not so nice, but at least relatable.
that unreleased track from autechre live in ny - (track 06) - hits me so hard, more so than any autechre track.. it 's something with that melody, physically and mentally it resuscitate me and it 's like it calibrates me with the purpose solely to give me a slap in the face because i was in a sleep-like state and i didn 't knew it. can 't grasp why though.. . it just feels so different.
Was anybody else in Bailey's Cafe Bar in Rochdale when Sean/Rob jumped on Daz's gear after his D'eBreeze set? One of the first Autechre shows?
Man, all of this technical stuff is totally over my head. I love autechre’s music but I’d be totally lost trying to make music that produces a similar atmosphere to something like altbzz
thanks for staying active with your fans
Great dry sense of humor, doesn’t take himself too seriously
so inspiring. music as a compulsion, I like that. Now I want a Quadraverb. Just watched the video called: ''The Basics of MIDI: Continuous Control of QuadraVerb's resonators ...''. It's true, older hardware sometimes has quirks and advanced functions that recent gear doesn't have.. no, not talking about D-Beam.. ah ah.
Elseq needs a vinyl release.
Great to know that Draft 7.30 and Confield represses are on the way
EDIT: Get your represses on Feb 24!
He is so awesome.
Am I the only one who thinks that Sean has always been HOT?
Rob>Sean
Sorry, it’s just the truth
I absolutely agree! Both Sean and Rob are handsome guys (then and now) but something about Sean's face structure and striking gaze makes me melt inside a little haha
Interesting after so many years ae (sean) have a long interview. would be great to time stamp the whole thing as six hours (much appreciated) but we work and families and stuff to do. ta.
1:36:24 interesting him talking about Dr Rocks. I used to go in there every so often.
36:51 : sean is talking about Franz Cardone's Ae bass covers: czcams.com/video/TdL11yY5_G0/video.html
Franz Cardone's cover of M62 (from Move of Ten) is godly.
Aaron Funk's singing is legit
thanks for sharing this, sooooooooo insightful
Here is a time line of the questions I asked Sean (Thank you so much for taking the time with my questions Sean!)
3:57:37 Do you often get inspired or scared of your dreams?
5:07:35 How did you process Milk D's rap on the track Milk DX?
4:16:28 Do you think music is a lot about gears and fancy equipments these days?
4:19:24 Were you ever been into Breakdance or sports?
Peace and respect to everyone! 💜
the best possible date for an autechre AMA... 7/30
Draft 7.30 is an amazing album
Great stuff @whitley - do you know where the Twitch Sean video /music jams are?
2:56:35 Derrida,Richard McKay Rorty, Allan Watts
5:35:45 sean talks about YTP
A very quick AMA
Frick i missed this again...
I need part 3 soon!!!!
I like this "anyway" at end
Legend.
Autechre interviews are rare like rocking horse turd, then this comes along with him talking about private stuff an aspergers. Very interesting and a great bloke. Would love to meet him. See you at the barbican in October. I'll be the geek on my own sitting in the first row.
This made my..... day/month/year
electronic music still has hope... Sean Booth being one great example.
why would electronic music not have hope?
Electronic music is doing greater than ever, are you listening?
He looks like Ian Brown from that angle.
this dudes chill
Just seeing this.. you’re a great listen so wise
Love that he loves ween
Wow fantastic never heard S from Autechre speak etc, do an interview.
@33:50 assume "Ian" is Ian Anderson. Big "Autechre v TDR 2014" print on the wall in front of me right now.
Starts off weird, then ends up a masterpiece 🤣
1:23:20 rock out a few lines of euh...
bakin soda
:)
As a Graffiti artist back in 88-97 in NYC myself, I wanted to know your tag name and what styles you bombed. Silly question but watching this provides many ardent fans in depth topics. Although I doubt this would be answered by you as it's already over a week old.
Follow 4utechre on Twitch. This is where the live stream was from. He went live twice in the past 2 months. You can ask him your question there n
I put Sean laughing on my morning ringtone on god
thanks!
Pro Radii is a cricket match sample?
where I can download whole 6 hours with video?
mad mike 🤞
I had chance to talk with Atkins
@1:09:41 somebody mentions that SIGN sounds warmth than previous releases, and Sean says "because of the tech, there's a lot of MC". What would that mean? Roland MC-202?
He may be referring to the MC multi-channel processing in Max MSP :)
@@johnoestmannmusic thanks! that makes much more sense :)
I like how subtitles in his presence think that all ambient street noise is music
btw why he started this twitch streams? just random reason?
Perlence and Pro Radii were made by Rob with an MPC
Autechre can release anything on vinyl and thing will sold xd
5:10:03 Thoughts on hiphop
Confield re-issue 🔥
2:41:01 Those peanuts usually come from far south, from Africa, India, Brazil, Spain etc... if anyone cares
THAT'S MY UNCLE!!!
Saw Autechre in Allston, Massachusetts I think back in 2016. Was so fuckin good. Was right before everyone had weed oil pens and we had to smoke out the car outside on the street lol! So fuckin annoying covid hit shit right after weed legalization. Still haven't really had the chance to vape at a club yet.
I was there! it was like walking into a factory for me, and not even on a musical sense, on one side there were dark ravers who were going wild like a wave, and then there were the old school fans and people who knew of their early work standing up on a balcony, drinking and just chilling. I swear one guy was grading papers in a lonely corner booth, was a fucking trip.
that's my uncle!!
Around the 1:03:00 mark, he's talking about an album called Pressure. Who is the artist? Sounds like he's saying "Gang Green" but I couldn't find anything.
The Bug
I like how he like food at all, or basic stuff in general. perfection right here.
or how he switch from maccaroni + fish to music technique lmao haha
king
PROGRESS SHOUT OUT WHITLEY STRIBER
2:25 who's the bald bloke on the right?
