Autechre ( ) are an English electronic music duo consisting of Rob Brown and Sean Booth, both from Rochdale, Greater Manchester. Formed in 1987, they are among the best known acts signed to UK electronic label Warp Records, through which all of Autechre's full-length albums have been released beginning with their 1993 debut '' Incunabula''. They gained initial recognition when they were featured on Warp's 1992 compilation ''Artificial Intelligence''. Influenced by styles such as 1980s electro and hip-hop, the music of Autechre has evolved throughout their career from early, melodic techno recordings to later works often considered abstract and experimental, featuring complex composition and few stylistic conventions. Their work has been associated with the 1990s electronic genre known as intelligent dance music (IDM), [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Intelligent Dance Music
Intelligent dance music (IDM) is a style of electronic music originating in the early 1990s, defined by idiosyncratic experimentation rather than specific genre constraints.''"…the label 'IDM' (for avant-garde, 'intelligent dance music') seems to be based more on an association with individualistic experimentation than on a particular set of musical characteristics."'' Butler, M.J., ''Unlocking the Groove: Rhythm, Meter, and Musical Design in Electronic Dance Music'', Indiana University Press, 2006, (p. 80). The music often described with the term originally emerged in the early 1990s from the culture and sound palette of styles of electronic dance music such as acid house, ambient techno, Detroit techno and breakbeat;''"The electronic listening music of the nineties is a prime example of an art form derived from and stimulated by countless influences. Partisan analyses of this music claim a baffling variety of prime sources (Detroit techno, New York electro + Chicago acid, En ...

Dub Techno
Dub techno is a subgenre of electronic music that originated in the early 1990s, blending the repetitive, minimal structures of techno with the echo-laden, spacey production techniques of dub music. It is notable for its deep, atmospheric soundscapes, layers of elaborate basslines, slowly developing musical phrases featuring heavy delay and reverb effects. Vocals are either absent, or inspired by dub and ambient music. Origins and evolution Dub techno appeared as a combination of two distinct musical movements: dub music from 1960s-1970s Jamaica and techno from 1980s Detroit area of the USA. Dub music evolved from reggae, characterized by slow tempo, instrumental remixes featuring heavy reverb, delay, deep bass and a laid-back, organic feel. Techno, pioneered by Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson in Detroit, used much faster-paced synthetic sounds and repetitive structures aimed at dance floors of nightclubs. By the early 1990s, these seemingly opposite genres ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Amber (Autechre Album)
''Amber'' is the second studio album by English electronic music duo Autechre, released on 7 November 1994 by Warp.

Production and style Unlike ''Incunabula'', which was part of Warp's ''Artificial Intelligence'' series of albums and predominantly a compilation of older material, ''Amber'' was described by Autechre member Rob Brown as "genuinely the first album we put out on Warp". Designed by Ian Anderson of The Designers Republic, the cover art is a detail of a panoramic photograph of sandstone cliffs in Cappadocia, Turkey, taken by landscape photographer Nick Meers. '' Select'' described the album as a "'90s update of electro's cut-'n'-paste rhythmics into the realms of the odd," and stated that ''Amber'' "made music by μ-Ziq or Aphex Twin seem almost conventional."

In the early 1990s, as compact discs (CDs) replaced LP record, LPs and cassette (format), cassettes as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard.

Electronic Music
Electronic music broadly is a group of music genres that employ electronic musical instruments, circuitry-based music technology and software, or general-purpose electronics (such as personal computers) in its creation. It includes both music made using electronic and electromechanical means (electroacoustic music). Pure electronic instruments depend entirely on circuitry-based sound generation, for instance using devices such as an electronic oscillator, theremin, or synthesizer: no acoustic waves need to be previously generated by mechanical means and then converted into electrical signals. On the other hand, electromechanical instruments have mechanical parts such as strings or hammers that generate the sound waves, together with electric elements including pickup (music technology), magnetic pickups, power amplifiers and loudspeakers that convert the acoustic waves into electrical signals, process them and convert them back into sound waves. Such electromechanical devices in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tri Repetae
''Tri Repetae'' (stylised as ''tri repetae.'') is the third studio album by English electronic music duo Autechre, released on 6 November 1995 by Warp. In contrast to the duo's previous albums, ''Incunabula'' (1993) and ''Amber'' (1994), it features a distinct style that incorporates more minimal rhythms and spacious melodies. Background In contrast to ''Incunabula'' (1993) and ''Amber'' (1994), ''Tri Repetae'' features a distinct style that incorporates more minimal, repetitive rhythmic patterns and intricate, spacious arrays of melodies; the aesthetical shift was intentionally echoed by its album cover designed by the duo's visual collaborators The Designers Republic, consisting of only a single shade of beige. Stemming from Autechre's increasing preoccupation with unique electronic musical textures and glitches, the liner notes of the album mention a preference to listen to the album on vinyl for surface noise; the CD version states that the album is "incomplete without surface ...

Corey Beasley (PopMatters) concurs, stating "the box could serve almost as well as an entry-point into the group’s catalog for a beginner as it would for a completionist or superfan".
