Autechre - Xylin Room

[JestersGeneration]

i like the part with the beats

[MetalRagnaroc]

@Lorentz5 What a colorful metaphor! I love it! xD

[earx23]

amazing beats. but for my lame old ears, inaudible..

[Lorentz5]

the sound of a fly continuously shitting out little pellets 

[Hologhoul]

This is one fucking amazing track!

[weatherkop]

I just watched a documentary on Jazz musician Fatha Hines. His ideas to play the piano rhythmically to feel like a trumpet were a major breakthrough in Jazz. The looseness and improvisation of the rhythm was what makes Jazz so interesting. Autechre is doing the same thing that was done in Jazz in the 1930's. Just with a huge array of sound variation.

[theibbe]

autechre is good but access to arasaka is better just my opinon

[ichbinsfeat]

DA hat aber wer WEn mal zussamengefickt!!!!!!!!!

[Cabbstah]

this sucks. not because of wow cool random signatures but rather cause it sounds like shit

[Idkfawin32]

@Cabbstah It's an acquired taste. Definitely

[Inrxz]

@Cabbstah

There is no "suck" there is simply music you do not understand.

Not to sound so pretentious though...because I believe this can go for what is mainstream music too.

Subjective values, etc.

[TheSnub]

They HAVE to use their own software to create this work of art, there's no way no other software can make a rhythm like this.

[selenoid]

@TheSnub

Actually they have been thoroughly involved in the architecture of the main software they are currently using, namely MAX / MSP, engineered by Cycling74

[TheSnub]

@selenoid Really? Awesome.

[LIGHTRONIX]

this music is way better when you keep time with your foot to keep track of the rythms

[fy7u45h]

@LIGHTRONIX

Tap tap tap.

[iscottm]

awesome.  sounds like bugs

[odigje]

I downloaded Draft 7.30 and the version of Xylin Room was COMPLETLY diffrent

it clocks at 4:02. Its sound more lick "clickin" bells. Have anyone experienced this ?

[zdsrtgnzetmyet]

wrong track title

[theselindsays]

getting better at what they do / worse at being normal

[neithere]

Masterpiece. You can see the patterns but you can never completely predict the development of the sound. It's just as the nature works, how the gas flows, how the trees grow, how the animals travel in the woods. Autechre creates living worlds. And I feel there at home =)

[flandersfails]

@neithere "how the animals travel in the woods" whaaaaaaaaaaaa?

[reyjll]

I love Autechre's dive into the unknown. I mean they have gotten so abstract; especially with there most recent material. TRI-REPETAE if I'm correcct is Autechre's most masterful piece of work to date.

[2ManyNoobs]

these men aren't just composers, they are sculptors

[LopeztheGypsy]

@2ManyNoobs Well said :)

[carliboy908]

I think this is the easiest track to get into on the album. I love all of it them now many years later..but was it worth it? Hell yes..

[Ndsntionz]

to me this is the baroque of the future.....

[Kalimon789]

Pithy comment, sums up the sound excellently.

[nepta00]

the chaos and beauty move me to tears. devastating.

[k0sha]

this tune makes my mind slip

[tomqelectronica]

i understand every movement in this track some people here electronica but dont under stand its reason everyone i know who love this stuff are all different in some sort of way...not the norm

[exmatproton]

Great opening of an album, just amazing.

My first AE album was EP7, but my fav is Confield. It´s just art

[Bullyisdead]

That image looks like badmorda from willow

[rloadah]

how the hell do they come up with these rhythms?

[movingpicture]

the rhythm is actually 4/4 in the beginning,

then when it gets really complex (around 1:47), use the kick as your guide to the beginning of each measure. there's one measure of 2/4, one measure of 5/4, then one measure of 9/4, then it repeats.

[shaftahoy]

That's still 16 beats, which makes me suspect that it's in 4/4 throughout the whole track, but with the phrases pushing and pulling on the places we expect them to be.

[marshallrauh]

@movingpicture 4/4 isnt a rhythm its a time signature the rhythms themselves appear as shapes on your computer screen and its really easy to just move them around and hear what they sound like. the act of writing electronic music is in itself very enlightening and everyone shud try it even if ur not musically talented

[unfa00]

@movingpicture This is sick. Looks like I'm too dumb to enjoy it :P

[benjaminqbest]

@rloadah so youve never heard of drugs?

[Rognalf]

To be honest, I liked Draft 7.30 more immediately than Incunabula, despite the fact that I mainly listened to trance before that. Oh well :P

[DDRpwnerer]

Yeah, Draft 7.30 is the first I actually listened to, but I never really "got into it". I'm still working my way through their albums; working on EP7 right now :)

[k0sha]

yeh I find listening to autechre is sort of like trying to walk through a space that's really dense. especially this track, it sort of tries to hold me back in a way. absolute madness.

[Rognalf]

Why is that so? Although I had never even heard any IDM before, I still thought it was awesome. Perhaps it was because it reminded me of Crash Bandicoot with the rhythms? I don't know :P

[DrunkedCat]

woooow

[ALVAROPEREDA]

you must listen to "future sounds of london" dead sites...

[Rognalf]

Don't forget Lifeforms, ISDN and Environments II either. FSOL rock :D

[Rognalf]

This is the track that introduced me to Autechre :D
