Welcome to Gauntcast, a long-form discussion podcast about the music of English.
GabeHOST
Electronic duo Autechre, album by album, EP by EP.
GabeHOST
I'm Gabe.
GabeHOST
I'm Dan.
GabeHOST
And today we're wrapping up our extended deep dive into the Oversteps era by revisiting Autechre's 2010 EP, Move of Ten.
GabeHOST

Last week, the listeners voted for an episode on Massive Attack's Blue Lines.
26 MINS LATER
GabeHOST
It lacks the atmospheric depth of XI, but is twice the fun.
speaker_1HOST
The workflow was inherently linear and very performance-based.
speaker_0HOST
But wait, I mean, avant-garde artists in the IDM scene, guys like Aphex Twin or Autechre, they were doing incredibly complex, glitchy, nonlinear audio manipulation way before this, right? Why is the MMR text treating this specific era of glitch hop as such a massive leap?
speaker_1HOST
Well, what's fascinating here is the collision of two previously isolated worlds, and this was all facilitated by a sudden explosion in DAW capabilities and computer CPU power.
speaker_0HOST
Ah, right.
Andrea BurnsGUEST
And then I, like, found stuff like Tycho and, like, um...
Andrea BurnsGUEST
He also showed me Autechre, and that, those were, like, kinda my big ones.
Andrea BurnsGUEST
It was like Tycho was one that I had found on my own.
Andrea BurnsGUEST
Um, it was, like, Tycho, early Chillwave stuff like Brother Tiger and Baths.
Andrea BurnsGUEST
... all styles of crazy shit.
Andrea BurnsGUEST
Um, and just, like, I, I live and breathe music, so anything I could, like, get my hands on and, like, become, like, super obsessed with, I did.
Joe ReillyHOST
So Autechre.
Joe ReillyHOST
We used to say Autechre or...
GabeHOST
[electronic music] Welcome to Gonkcast, a long-form discussion podcast about the music of English electronic duo Autechre album by album, EP by EP.
GabeHOST
I'm Gabe.
DanHOST
I'm Dan.
GabeHOST
ZZ Top drummer, Frank Beard, dies at 77.
GabeHOST
You might be wondering why am I mentioning that.
GabeHOST
Well, if you know your lore, you know ZZ Top sampled the beat from Autechre's second Bad Vilbel for their 1999 track, Dreadmonfogulo.
DanHOST
[laughs]
GabeHOST
So I'm assuming maybe Frank Beard was, you know, as the drummer, as the percussionist, was, uh, behind that.
Phil EagleshamGUEST
I mean, it's very glitchy.
Phil EagleshamGUEST
I mean, I mean, with respect as well, that's the territory that Autechre are in.
Chris CusackHOST
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Phil EagleshamGUEST
And, and they were around the same orbit as bands, you know, people like Aphex Twin and Autechre and-
Chris CusackHOST
Oh, there's no question Aute- Autechre were the... taking some cues from Coil, yeah
Phil EagleshamGUEST
...
Phil EagleshamGUEST
Yeah, I mean, they were, they appeared on compilations together.
Keith Fullerton WhitmanGUEST
It's very much like a live scripting kind of thing getting into, you know, Max-type things, you know.
Keith Fullerton WhitmanGUEST
But it's all, like, post Autechre music basically.
Keith Fullerton WhitmanGUEST
It's all this very algorithmic, you know, kind of sound design-y but still XOX kind of sounds, you know.
Keith Fullerton WhitmanGUEST
And that was really great, and it was like being in a room with, like, 100 mes at the age of 21, you know? It was, like, really funny to look back and be like, "I love these guys," 'cause I was 100% them and I had no community, you know?
Dennis DeSantisGUEST
I mean, if you're an artist with a known sound, and then you do something that's radically different than that, a, a fan base will have a reaction to that.
Dennis DeSantisGUEST
I mean, I'm trying to imagine Autechre making, like, a pop record.
Dennis DeSantisGUEST
What would happen? Like, people would-
Brian FunkHOST
Yeah
Steve MurphyHOST
That's when you're getting into that kind of thing, right?
Adam Scott GlasspoolHOST
Yeah, because, um, look, if you're already into Radiohead, and you're already into some of the Warp Records stuff, you've already listened to Kid A and raided Thom Yorke's record recommendations, you know, and he's recommending Autechre and all that stuff, and you've already listened to that stuff, where do you go next? Björk is a good shout.
Adam Scott GlasspoolHOST
In theory, you should go to Björk first before you go to Aphex Twin, because I think she's just, she's making that stuff accessible, which is ultimately what I really like about it.
Adam Scott GlasspoolHOST
This, this idea that I am, like, portrayed as somebody who only listens to, you know, ambient music and, and jazz-
Jeff NosinovHOST
Mm.
Jack MillsGUEST
Things like Autechre and, you know, the kind of stranger end of British electronica.
Jack MillsGUEST
Just trying to sort of imagine, you know, kind of alien life forms kind of invading, invading the kind of m- instruments that you're using and, and the pen that you're writing with, and to kind of really just trying to sort of i-imagine other futures and-
Jeff NosinovHOST
Okay
