Autechre - Gantz Graf

[JanelaInfected]

2:40 -> nice melodies! ;D

[superawesomegrapes]

Sounds like the matrix

[WiggyWittgenstein]

Like reading Hegel after 80 cans of Red Bull.

[HelloNewYorkCity]

the unofficial lyrics to this song for the first 5 seconds is (please correct me if i'm wrong):

TTYTHJFGJHEGBRFHJBEJRBHKJKUBUY­KUG#^&$*&T!@#*7Ó¨´ˆ®ˆ¨™¢¶£•Ïªı­˜¨ÁˆØ£™√ıLjÁØ£¢Ó˚ÒıÔÇ˚™£ı√ÓÇ¡¨­√ÓÔ™Œ∑©Ô√Î˚©ÔŒÍÎÍÅÎÅÍÎÍÍÅÎÅÍδ­∑ŒÓÎŒˆ¨®Ó∏¨Ç´ıØ®ı∑˚√BKJBDEWO

the last 5 seconds:

ZZZZZZZPUIRIEUUROIUIOEUFJOIJ!!­!!HKJFKJDHF purRRRT *pweehh*.

[ilsennodipoi]

I am a bit sceptical about it, but my epileptic cousin seems really into it!

[MisterSensitivity]

58 sconds to 60 seconds gives me goosebumps every time, a supersonic explosion in 4/4 time. Mind Blowing....

[HD027]

best vibes to relax to

[karinoiseluzinda]

I only see a whit cat running crazily on a bed....(lol)

[WizLaudan73]

I use to listen to all that dark techno stuff in the early 90's in the raves so I can get my head round this. But couldn't listen to it without watching the video aswel.

[WizLaudan73]

Wicked!...I love the tune they done called "foil"

[djx64]

Genius.. so clever and ahead of its time.. 

[ECST4C]

great piece of art!

[chriswallwork1]

Thinking about the skill and time that must have gone into the music and visuals individually is very humbling. Put the two elements together and you have an amazing piece of art.

[iinspectra]

This needs to be a visualization in a music player somewhere.

[odnameht]

A special kind of song. Spine chilling in it's epicness.

[zukunft2024]

I play this with Schoenberg’s String Quartets and 3 other serialized pieces at the same time with Gantz Graf . It gives me an ideal of how the whole labyrinth of our universe sounds at once.

[schmelingful]

I believe the Talibans are being tortured with this in Guantanamo....... I would confess every single thing from 2 years of age up to now if they forced me to listen to this..... And even the stuff I didn*t do!!! what ever they want, just to STOP!........!!

Who ever made this has some serious issues....

[iinspectra]

@schmelingful If you're going to be that closed-minded, return to the inferior music from whence you came.

[schmelingful]

@iinspectra trust me, i got here by mistake and thought "lets hear it", but I'll be more than happy to avoid this. there is more rhythm and sense in listening my angle grinder in a full metal shop than this...

Feel free to call me ignorant, but that won't make this music. Period

[iinspectra]

@schmelingful Alright, you're ignorant. :P

Seriously, though, you're entitled to your opinion of course, but just keep in mind that the phrase 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' is especially true with music. Personally, I (and over 1,300 other people) enjoy Autechre's music as it's powerful, dynamic and gritty stuff that's different to the other music you usually hear. When combined with the spectacular video, this song is beautifully hard and trippy.

[Chaossangel]

Sounds like a 26th century pinball machine.

[iBecomingInsane]

its like being fucked by the matrix

[Foxpoop]

major acid trip.

[Pezreh]

Sounds like another dimension or something holy shit.

[Iambenjoz]

o_O

[Fannondelekhan]

everyone listening to this must have serious reallife problems i guess

[thatstidy]

That is high. Music and image has almost become inextricably linked.

[RaggaLion]

guess this is electro's death metal side...... o.O intrigued.

[pearsem]

Why can't all music be this good?

[bassrawkers]

This is how I hoped the future would appear.

[Jk981206]

It's official. Aliens have NO sense of rythm.

Or at least... conventional rythm...

[digitalbath3]

Sounds like a fax machine malfunctioning in an acid bath...but I can't stop listening to it.

Weirdly enough, when I was first getting into this kinda music a few years back, everyone said 'If you're going for Autechre, don't start with Gantz Graf or Confield', yet that's exactly what I did, and that's what got me hooked. Years of listening to Meshuggah and The Dillinger Escape plan have probably fucked with my idea of conventional rhythm.

[jestemniczym]

@digitalbath3

Whoa, dude, same here - I just found this stuff after few years of listening to Meshuggah and mathcore mindbreaking rhytms, and I think it's awesome.

[alamIbbar]

[wilreul]

Amazing.

[JackTron7000]

Guys if you want to make a generic "the creator of this video must have been on drugs!!!" comment, then now's your chance, cause in this case it was actually true.

[theo1203]

anyone got the sheet music?

[Tr3ndWh0r3]

@theo1203 LOL

[poorlymadeproduction]

reminds me of storage cube bouncing on a arial faith plate :D

[MightyMartel]

@poorlymadeproduction haha this is the best kind of music for portal. i know from experience haha

[SoulReaper66623]

[sdzeit]

[chidamole]

Sounds like when autechre were connection to thier dial up connection

[vork666]

@chidamole These are in fact the sounds of Satan's dial-up connection

[ChoofDoof]

1:45 is one of my favorite parts. And then the ending when it's try to come back to life.

[tes4o]

[UTFreak87]

Kettel, µ-ziq, Arovane, Nautilis, Tycho, The Tuss (is supposedly aphex twin, although I rkn it's better than his other material hehe), Beefcake (sadly heaps unknown but so good), Brian Eno, Richard Devine, Clubroot, Cylob, Geotic, Machinedrum, Blockhead.

I could be here all day lol so these are a few names ppl should listen to if they haven't already :-)

[neonatom]

The true soul of the song is encrypted way beyond layers and layers of noise. That is the beauty of it. It defies every listener abstraction power. A true masterpiece.



[bleachrules103]

Great. Now I'm addicted to this.

[madsinsyco13]

wow. there are many long winded pretentious comments on here

[MasterDebator809]

@madsinsyco13 Lol i was thinking the exact same thing, haha

[FrankBenjamin1]

I talked with Steven Reich some years back and he said he was mostly influenced by Perotin. I was surprised that Reich's phase-style could be derived from a 12th century composer so I did some investigating. What i found was not so much a musical style influence but a simplicity of means and lightness of sound similarity. Donald Kivy wrote a book on repetition and how it is used in music. I had people tell me that DCD created a whole new style which, of course, is untrue.

[konjunktion26]

muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuzaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkkk­kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk haahaahah

[FrankBenjamin1]

I forgot to add: Qui nesciunt nesciunt. I think the second might be nescium. In other words, Those who know not are in complete ignorance as opposed to know not. There's so much out there that it reminds me of Bucky Fuller's comments about simultaneity of experience. It's all going on and we choose to label based on experience. I tend to like the group "Dead Can Dance" but understand that their style is strictly based in Medieval musical styles with a contemporary twist. Hardly new but novel.

[MrROLY1973]

@FrankBenjamin1 I love dead can dance and they inspired another legend of the electronic music scene the Future Sound of London who are an amazing outfit that sonically challange you & themselves all the time & its thank to the likes of all the artists mentioned that they inspire wether directly or indirectly ! I love the electronic sound and its just a sign of the times especially after the second world war were the shackles of the conformity were released and freedom of expression fortified !

[FrankBenjamin1]

It's impossible to give an entire music history lesson using 500 characters. Look up things like "Poem Electronique", Musique Concrete, Stockhausen's "Song of the Youth", works by Partch, Henry, Schaefer, etc. Nonsuch used to put out and "Explorer" series where there is a lot of electronic, music and mixed media works. Many of these have been rereleased as CDs. Also, CRI has some very interesting works. In many ways, things get recycled by the zietgist is different for each age.

[youngfreedom93]

is this music or something?

[jerzy862]

Hey guys I'm relatively new to electronic music. I don't know many artists besides this and Boards of Canada. Can anyone recommend me any other good ones?

[MrROLY1973]

@jerzy862

Just a few to mention for you to get ya teeth into . . . Aphex Twin - Plaid - Amon Tobin - Squarepusher - Future Sound of London - The Orb - Orbital - sun electric - brothomstates - bola - ochre - All Autechres back catalogue as with all these artist mentioned just look at warp & ninja tunes labels back catalogue and check the links and the BLEEP digital download section on warp will give you an endless list of labels too search through as well happy hunting and enjoy ! Peace n Music

[HelloNewYorkCity]

@jerzy862 luke vibert if you're into "classic acid", aphex twin, i don't kno

[The5thAstronaut]

This is really lame...

[TedRPeterson]

There used to be a magazine called Source which had all kinds of musical experimentation. Like the Conceptual/Performance art movement, most of it came from the concepts of John Cage. As many have written, "Sometimes noise is just noise. It depends on how one uses that noise to determine if it is musical or not." A very good composer wrote a piece in 1974 based on all kinds of electric saws he recorded at a construction site. Pieces might seem novel because the listener's experience is limited.

[ideoteqa]

i dont understand this

[FrankBenjamin1]

Trite. Iannis Xanakis was doing this stuff in the '50s as was Stockhausen. Noise music is the result of Henry and Schaeffer under the label: Musique Concrete. People still do the same today. Manipulation of sound has been around since the tape recorder but before that Edgar Varese wrote a piece called "Poem Electronique" that was played at the '09 World Fair. The so-called "Noise" music culture is hardly new and while momentarily interesting is like a reflection; here and gone.

[midimachine]

@FrankBenjamin1 you're confusing noise for the sake of noise with pure motherfucking genius

[MrROLY1973]

@FrankBenjamin1

Qui nimis probat nihil probat. its obvious what you are comparing is two different things & clearly dont know what you are really comparing either ! if you have made this kind of music & worked with these time signatures & have listened to Autechres back catalogue you should understand this & realise what they are about is experimentation & taking there craft further but to poo poo something when you have used a similiar comparison because its not of the same time line is TRITE

[MrROLY1973]

@FrankBenjamin1

Obviosly we have been manipulating sound since we could hear our vocal chords & people will still be doing the same in a 1000 yrs & trust me Autechre will know of the artists you just mentioned as well ! Autechres music is analytical music it takes a long time to hear whats going on in a piece of their music trust me i have been listening to their noisy music for twenty yrs nearly & they now what they are doing people like xanakis & varese had the equipment these boys use !

[BilboHalfling]

this is so awesome

[brianthebutterfly]

This on BLOC TV at 4am.

That got me back in the mood.

Oh BTW guys, I saw the troll's exact same comment on Aphex Twin's Donkey Rhubarb. This is the laziest kid I've seen in a while, bit of a meh, really.

[zwerty007]

[Intelectual95]

[Retade23]

@Intelectual95

I lold. Too obvious

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@Intelectual95 with a name like Intelectual95 there is just no way you are simply a charlatan(most likely a teen) IQ has little to do with real intelligence, neither do mensa tests.....avenged sevenfold is good, but why on earth would you bring them up with this type of music, how on earth did you even find this? it's actually pretty complicated......go listen to some frank zappa, mr. bungle, sikth, animals as leaders, special defects, and chimp spanner! expand your rhythmic perceptions!

[iialves]

@xxxslayerxxx666 hey, thanks a lot dude for letting me know about animals as leaders and sikth. i had never heard of 'em and i'm very happy to discover it now. i'd recomend also meshuggah, dillinger escape plan, avishai cohen, farmer's market, hermeto pascoal, octurn, shakti, and plenty of stuff from india, middle orient etc

[DjSte4705]

@iialves and @xxxslayerxxx666 You guys are awesome! Great stuff there :D

[OurenV2]

@Intelectual95 obvs troll is way too obvs

[counce2]

@Intelectual95 avenged sevenfold are lame

[HenryChing93]

@Intelectual95 avenged sevenfold is lame for metal or even a rock band obviously.

[aRubberSoul]

@Intelectual95 Troll might have worked if it weren't for that last part. Made it too obvious. But I did lol at "nerd bleepy bloop shit"

[needledropdamagedone]

Hello, if you want to delve into Autechre's discography, take a look at my discog review ! Cheerio!

@denxos In a parallel dimension they do.

[texasB666]

Can someone please tell me what the fuck just happened?

[hamdihasan]

this is a desperate alien trying to communicate .

[TheGratefulDreamer]

i thought that the whole song was just the intro of the video that would throw up a logo of their company or something and then play the actual song. I'm so confused.

i think this is the sound of a crab committing suicide, being played through an old boot.

[alkalein]

@MagneticJuggalo It's conversation. No? Why get SO angry angry? So elitist? I adore this. But don't leave people in the muck, by means of calling them immature to this. Isn't that foolish? It (this music), conversation....! Just talk to people and if they don't speak this language, they DO NOT and do not give people crap for for it. You should know better" This 'style' is not about being about an 'i know more complex music than you'.... I love the baroque style in classic music, check it!

[NOUFGT]

This isn't music. My computer makes this noise when I leave my cellphone too close to it.

[alkalein]

@NOUFGT Yeh, thought is weird. Not much a of a jazz fan myself tbh.... but I thin this 'music ' workks in that fashion. It's not dance music as such, it's ,ore about refglecting about life or thought or emotion and so and and so so forth, no???

[JestemZuem]

where I can find guitar tabs to this?

[Smo1k]

Roskilde, around '07, once Gantz Graf hit the tent, I was totally wasted with a big, fat grin on my face. Friend told me I was clapping one of the collumns to the beat, when everybody else had lost it, and once it came back, I was smack on. Told a guy next to me: "Bing!", at the exact moment of the first stroke of a new metallic sound was introduced :)

Me, I remember very little, other than that it was a great concert. Lost in the dark, shitfaced, and loving it...
