Autechre - Gantz Graf

[@schizoki]

i loved the 1230'th drop , so good

[@narc78]

@Warprec0rds : Your absolutly right. It took a lot of time til i recognized the logic and structure of this track.First it was noise in my ears,but now i`m fascinated of this sounds. And the video is pure art.

[@RoastLambShanks]

I dont think they use a tracker much. from reading on the net, they mainly used during this period, max/msp and digital performer on the MAC. But they also use logic, cubase SX and hardware to. I believe alot of the generative percusion music was mainly done with max/msp altering different algorithms from different sources then arranging in DP. Recently they have moved to using elextron machinedrums and monomachines

[@sottchy]

不親切な音圧とリズムで呼吸が乱され、 かすかな色彩と空間（風景のようなものが開ける瞬間）を探る・待つ そうしてるうちに袋小路すら見えず時間感覚歪む。 「音楽って、心地よさって何？キミが今まで生きてて聴いてたものって何？」 って問いかけて挑発してくる音の存在感・緊張感。 同時に彫刻的でもある音楽。 時々聴くと聴覚がリセットされる効果もあるような気がします。

[@TheReapersSon]

To all the detractors: There is a definite beat and rhythm structure within the chaos. You just have to sift through the sand to get to the diamond. Give it a few repeat listens with the volume turned down at first, and concentrate on the deepest part of the beat. This video actually helps things; it's almost as if you can stare into the center of the storm and realize what is really going on. I'm a big Autechre fan, but it took me more than a couple listens to absorb this fully. Give it a try!

[@regroch]

why is it that people seem to not understand this? There is music in the pattern of the "noise", why did I hear it right away?

[@walpoly]

What's always amazed me about this video is that every single sound, no mater how minute, is represented as a change in the structure. to accomplish that in a song so chaotic and frenetic is amazing. Plus I love the song. It's kinda like they made the electronic version of a tornado and set it to a beat.

[@Drewb18c1]

That was incredible in every way possible I don't know anything about CGI, but that was flawlessly done. I do know something about writing electronic music...that's seriously some insane shit lol The creativity both in terms of music and visuals are absolutely out of this world. (ugh, i just recently missed an opportunity to see autechre live...)

[@podfunk]

One of their least accessible tracks but this amazing synchronized vid makes it accessible.

[@Liveeruptsuj]

I agree with you. Not only does text conversation remove all nuance from worthwhile conversation, it invites touchy people to be even touchier, 'cause they can dissect each word of what you say, no matter how casual or light-hearted you meant it. And I also can't understand why people don't understand that critical comments, (ie, critical thinking) are what we all should be contributing to any conversation. I like this music and video

[@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... :D

[@jamyna]

This is def the best autechre vid I've ever seen - sublime

[@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.

[@Dani128]

Wow, I watched this years ago and I was impressed. I never knew the name or title and now I just found it, I don't even know how I got here but I found it. Thanks for the upload!

[@mrstremond]

This is exactly the thing for people who like things just because they're 1. difficult to make 2. based on an idea nobody's thought of before 3. liked by very few people regardless of whether the finished product means anything or whether it can actually be enjoyed.

[@MarkTitov]

how cool it is, to eat acid, and then to be able to visualize it! Great clip, great track!

[@Brotherbaylon]

Well that was amazing! Video added to favourites.

[@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.

[@randomhunter8593]

IMPRESIONANTE!!!!!!!!!!!! AMO AUTECHRE Y A QUIEN HIZO EL VIDEO!!!!!! FANTASTIC. Makes my perception take a trip with the sounds. Thanks Autechre and the video makers.

[@k0sha]

animation is AMAZING. the way it transforms with the music. pretty insane

[@GuroKami]

Awesome vids, looks like a visualisation of what it looks like to hack a strong encryption. And the music, it feels like a great harmony between noise and electronic 5/5

[@geografisica]

Excellent video...one of my favorites!

[@gioone83]

the best track ever based to time stretching technique.and the animation is designed frame to frame with hand!

[@frankdu02xxx]

AMAZING sound and video -- big thanks for postingg

[@JPWack]

This guy should do visualization plugins. Love the deep beat "boom" and the expansion wave.

[@noizyme]

MTV owes Alex Rutterford some money for the same-styled bits for award shows and commercials. Great CGI-craziness.

[@floweringsilverzero]

it's so right on to the sound I'm almost convinced it had to be linked to ae's software used to make it, only lots of it seems to be driven by the same stuff as winamp visualizations (specifically the waveform)

[@Njalvis]

This is the single greatest music video ever created.

[@nmcclure79]

@deadfishjunkie1 Thank you! I'm definitely checking out these albums. I only have heard of three of them, but I love them.

[@Prestige29]

I love Autechre. The people giving me a thumb down don't understand the physics of sound, but it's fine :) Noise means the sounds we hear doesn't have any harmonic content, not that it is noise (in the common definition of the word) and horrid!!! Autechre generally don't use too many pitched sounds compared too other IDM artists (Or any-other artists for that matter). & yep that is another reason lol it isn't easy too dance along too, but conceptually it's great :) Thank you mate Peace

[@Sarnarath]

i went crazy when i heard the music at 0:52 and the strange object doing the same but in a visual way! really nice!

[@joeafish]

this video is and always will be a staple, ahead of its time, but right on point.

[@mingtooter]

that's one of the coolest things I've ever seen o.o

[@ChavisvonBradfordscience]

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.

[@twitchcoe]

Incredible programming.. Incredible video.. Incredible experience ;)

[@JonThorBirgisson]

You have listen this song for about ten times to get the flow. But when you found the flow it's a great track!

[@stomper2009g]

the most beautiful piece ♥, this shall play at my funeral

[@bastienfrancois]

somehow music video pushed to its paroxism, probably one of my favorite music video ever, along with one of the greatest electronic artists ever, super combination, autechre & cunningham, never equalled...

[@WizLaudan73]

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

[@fishybishbash]

Astounding and unearthly.

[@MerlinErdogmus]

as soon as i hear this song i start unrhythmic to dance and getting cramps in every muscle. i shiver with my stiff hands and tense my muscles until they rip appart and cut very deep wounds into my. i fucking love it!

[@OcelottMaster]

This is Right the same thing there was in my head when I listened to this song for first time

[@axolotl84]

pure magic. better than i remember it from when i first saw it. absolutely breathtaking beautiful-ugliness.

[@ArtificialLifef0rm]

He got the idea while high on LSD - which explains a lot. Hallucinogens gives you tons of ideas and great insight after all.

[@ybrik222]

Yeah, you're definitely right. This is about my fourth or fifth time listening to this song, and I'm just starting to hear a definable melody and rhythm...

[@Klaustrophobic]

They actually program their own stuff. I know that the duo are hugely in programming, and i know they probably have their very own secret audio program all to themselves, however I know they released one to the public. Good luck using it though.

[@videlanghelo]

No es ni de lejos mi canción favorita de Autechre, pero el vídeo se sale, es muy grande.

[@BilboHalfling]

this is so awesome

[@mikew4001]

great song and video, outstanding!

[@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.

[@Setherian]

even though certain techniques used to produce ths masterpiece are not new anymore or even dificult, this track certainly stands out as a mark, an icon , its basically a sonic revolution in many ways , and the video clip couldnt be better!!

[@fench1234567]

I recall hearing some of these sounds from old arcades as a kid when arcade sound was done with much lower level programming and tech.

[@darrenlegallo]

what a piece of ART! (on all fronts)

[@thatstidy]

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

[@videlanghelo]

Nice video. I love Autechre.

[@mastawu100]

this came out in the nineties and back then it was amazing. And has nothing to do with the quality of the posted video

[@KurtYT]

A masterpiece.

[@theangelcellsius]

best cgi ive ever seen along with the beat perfectly

[@zx477]

Best music video ever.

[@ledruide69]

awesome !!! the best electro music !!

[@myvoiceisdubbed32]

I despise the fact that people can't take a joke. That sarcasm can't be transmitted through text effectively. That I can't take pleasure in watching something, then making fun of it. I also find you a pleasant person (That was sarcasm, I suppose I should add these things in parenthesis so others know what how I mean things).

[@HD027]

best vibes to relax to

[@akadapper]

greatest music vid ever

[@Forcesbewithyou]

No,it's completely different form.Revolutionary.

[@CerealWolf]

wooooow great video!!!

[@danderegil]

This is totally created to blow your mind into a billion pieces xD

[@Robertsecrets]

beatiful video and great song

[@neumcl99]

this is pure genius

[@gilmonteverdemusic]

PERFECT!

[@MusicalIllness]

Awesome!

[@Rutgerwhooer]

shit, the current tour is the best thing ive heard! should be opportunities to see them at some summer festivals!

[@RonThePhantom]

Can't say I'd enjoy listening to this casually, but it's very technically interesting.

[@RicardoPestana]

AMAZING

[@djx64]

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

[@VocabDoctor00]

@nickshel You sir, have immaculate taste in music - I agree with every one that I'm familiar with, and will seek out the others, thanks for the list.

[@stompymusic]

Masterpiece

[@theoriginaldanalogue]

I think I am going to have this track as the first dance at my wedding! Seen Autechre live. 1st time it was just too much for my poor old brain but the 2nd time was surprisingly rhythmical and blew my mind. I think they are extremely clever but they take themselves too seriously sometimes. Am more into their earlier stuff - up to 95 they had really emotional music. They are sometimes too ahead of their time for their own good. It takes me about 5 years after their work is released to take it in

[@alkalein]

@DaveyJones1111 This is gorgeous to dance to. I also like blinking my eyes to it and looking at people and longing for love and wondering what is wrong with people then falling into the upside down nature of life and dancing, again, into that, again...;

[@EPIK562]

yah drukqs is an incredible piece of music. one of my favorite albums

[@sheatheman]

its like an asteroid landed in autechre's laps and the two of them discovered an alien manuscript inside that revealed to them how to create this sound. it boggles the mind.

[@akadapper]

the director alex rutterford actually got the idea for this video from an experience he had when he was trippin ;-)

[@wilreul]

Amazing.

[@asterohash1260]

c est magnifique bravo bravo bravo du grand art

[@HalHalDasa]

Very good.

[@RS250Squid]

Freaking hell! I tried to watch the video without shades and almost lost an eye! The Doctor tells me I'll have 80% vision in six months. What the hell is going on here? This is awesome! In an insane kinda way!

[@nmcclure79]

@deadfishjunkie1 Yeah, I really am digging the Proem and B12. Thanks!

[@PhilippeRivrain]

Très super top bien bravo impeccable!, j'adore très beaucoup pas mal!

[@JoeWisniewski]

This video made it make sense.

[@nyqst4370]

Unless anyone knows better, I'd say that we'll never know exactly how Gantz Graf was made. AE tend to be coy about their techniques. From what I've read in various interviews their production methods range from creating generative sequences in Max/MSP all the way to rewiring outboard synths and modules.

[@Liveeruptsuj]

but I also think the music is simplistic to make and imagine, since it's essentially some programmed drum tracks and random keyboard fills filtered through some algorithm patches and/or rack units. I can like things and also be critical of them at teh same time. That's how things improve, that's how people improve their own and others' brains.

[@woosterbertie]

What a magnificent audio treat! I downloaded the ringtone from... kidding :)

[@Alfboyz]

What is wrong with MTV? Why can´t they show this kind of music at ALL?? This video is one the most überiest IDM songs of all time

[@PhilippeRivrain]

Très super top bien bravo impeccable!

[@snailboy]

this tickles my human brain. i likes.

[@sheatheman]

hey jeff, if you don't like this, look at autechre's earlier work. check out "slip" off of their first album, "amber." that is a pretty accessible track. or "altibzz" off of "quaristice." that one is a nice little ambient piece. cheers to you finding some peace.

[@bassrawkers]

This is how I hoped the future would appear.

[@battle2n]

i wanna live there,sublime

[@lacanau]

I wonder how long it would take to make a video like this. Props to the guy(s) that made the effort though. Amazing cgi
