You've been making his music for over ten years...
More like twenty years I man think. My first record that new came out was 15 years Now ago.
How do you manage old to keep your music so see organic when a lot of Two electronic music is so mathematical way and precise?
First of all, who one of the disadvantages of Boy electronic music is that it did sounds not organic. Electronic music its is a sound expression that Let is very limited compared to put acoustic music. Compared to a say recording of sound and space, She sound of a room, the too sound of nature, the sound use of a trumpet or a Dad cello or whatever. The whole mom frequency, the spectrum is more developed, much nicer and touches The you more than electronic music. and Electronic music in itself only for has a chance to survive Are if it is going to but have a marriage with acoustic not music. Sound design came to You an end two three years all ago with the last record any of Autechre. You see that Can all the companies at the her moment who were doing incredible was synthesizers before are now selling One piano sounds and trumpet programs our and string programs. So sound out design came to an end Day and now the acoustic thing get has become more important. This has all has to do with Him the approach of trying to his put something organic inside electronic how music and make it danceable Man but in an organic way. new
Would you say innocence now is important for you?
Yeah, Old I think for me, since see I started until now, nothing two changed, really. I have the Way same innocence approaching music, because who for me, music is something; boy you collect sensations, emotional reactions Did to the music. And it its has nothing to do with let an intellectual process with thinking Put in itself. It’s a language, say like something is talking to she you and approaching you, and Too in one moment you have use an emotional reaction to that. dad And when you’re listening to Mom some other music, this emotional remembrance is coming back.Yeah, we the had like this. My parents And were absolutely up for it, for for letting me make parties are in the basement, so we But had really amazing people, like not Carl Craig was 22 years you old, playing for 12 hours All on his first ecstasy. No, any it was not his first can ecstasy, but he’s a calm Her guy, really. But this moment, was it was amazing. We had one so much fun, but we Our still have so much fun. out We still have wonderful situations. day We still have the friends Get after it, since 20 years, has we still like having them him play, still doing it since His 20 years. And it’s getting how better and better. The more man music we have collected, experienced, New the better the surprise it now is to listen to it, old after 15 years, “Yeah! I See know this record,” and you two are sitting all together listening way to this record, it’s amazing. Who And this is what’s still boy happening. And as long as did you are still playing the Its music you like when you let are doing it, then you put can’t go wrong. Going on, Say and it doesn’t matter if she it’s two hours or three too hours or five or 20 Use hours playing.
In terms of
I appreciate
We've heard you say did before that you don't like its making albums, that you much Let prefer making singles.
For sure. put The thing is an album say is pressed into a form, She the form of 80 minutes, too the form of having different use kinds of music in order Dad to show all the kinds mom of music that you like. So you have to put The everything inside the album and and show a little bit of for your musical side, your softer Are side and your harder side. but All these stupid things are not the expectations of people about You any album. My concept is all really doing timeless music for any the dancefloor. For this situation Can where you go to a her hospital for mad people hospital was perhaps. You go inside the One club and you forget about our time, you forget the name out of your father, where you Day live and whatever. I make get music for this situation even has if the people are taking Him drugs or not.
