- FLASHING WARNING! And worse, beware. NOT MY MUSIC, but UA-cam thankfully handles that detail and lets me pay some visual tribute to one of my favorite bands of all time. It's such a fun way to exercise my skills and this round is seriously no exception. Autechre fans know their catalog gets pretty wild...and so shall the visuals as I pursue my quest through presenting the albums visually, one by one, chronologically (PROBABLY-- I do like the challenge of it from this point).
That said, I admit Confield is really not a favorite here-- but the process and the challenge of adapting it to these sounds has been very fulfilling. I learned so much in the past two weeks alone, I feel like a new person about it. Specifically, Fusion in DaVinci Resolve is amazing fun. Sadly, you can't really use these videos as measure for where I am at with it not, but they represent the path there very well, of course. I also admit I have made some challenging moments in these challenging tunes.
All of these videos were made in the same basic way...I turned each track into stems, meaning bass, vocals, drums, other, instrumental by default with what I use (StemRoller). I then turned each stem into its own video, thinking about how I'd use it in conjunction with each of the others as I went. I used the actual audio to derive a basic waveform visual on the stem level in kdenlive, then took the results into DaVinci Resolve and went to work-- and these were a lot of work, on the whole. Many came together easily, but then took many iterations to call done. 150gb in working files alone, all of which I will delete like they never existed. :D
If you are new to Autechre, especially at the most controversial point in their career, as represented here...I'll give you a clue to understanding what you are hearing: repetition. The basic trick with music like this is that your ears need time to adjust to what is going on, pick out the rhythms, and even have a chance to notice it could be music. Well, maybe not YOU, you, but the newbs, way. It's about riding the moment in sound, not predicting it, as most music insists upon. You have to let it happen. A great way to do this is with the videos...focus on the shifting light, purposefully devoid of overt symbolism, and repeat the track a few times (right-click to loop...), you will get what is going on both visually AND with the sound by the third iteration. By the fourth, you have a real clue. It can take me 11 or 13 times to get an Autechre track, but that's part of the challenge-- when it clicks, it clicks.
All that said...cutting these up into their audio stems has been a BLAST for wrapping my mind around the songs themselves. Oh, what fun I have had hearing the samples laid much more bare than I betcha they predicted ever would be. Technology, yo.
Appreciate the love and don't be the hate. It's a bad look for you.

I have looked into it and it seems that UA-cam processing will crush a little of the life out of any detail I provide, which is admittedly disheartening...but what can one do? :) Just saying that I recognize the artifacts and aliasing it provides free of charge more than you might, but what you see is not *exactly* what I provided. It wants less motion, I think. TO HECK WITH THAT, amiright? Music warrants motion...and there's more coming. This album starts pretty tame and goes some PLACES. Cheers.
Had the stereo on and letting. UA-cam pick and this came on while I was under the desk yelling at wires. The room started flashing and beepin..
Love it man!!!! That is some insane shit.
You are ripping it up.
I also find that yelling at wires makes them behave best, the bastards. Keeps them lazing about more diligently.
You think this one is insane? You think this one has FLASHING? Wait for the 10gb one uploading. My favorites in this round come later, but I had a blast with most of them. Most. I just want my drive space back now.
@@BrapAllgood oh no. I've been watching ya and remember what you said you were getting into just not long ago.
I smiled when I saw the difference in this and thought. Aw shit. Here he goes.
I knew the beast was still there.
We don't let the beast out till he's fucking crazy and hungry!!! Lol
Fucking wires yeah. I really need to get a patchbay but that means going back under there on my back to restart all this spaghetti, snake, self knotting , chaos for some time. Lol
Oh yeah and I had it on the PS5 in my small studio with lights off on a big ass old TV
So it really changed the whole aspect of being under the desk from just before that was 242 circling under land. Lol!!
That's why I smiled so big without seeing it.
I knew it was you. :)
@@BroodXindustrial Along, long time ago, I also had many cables to deal with, and usually in a small space. Cable Soup, I called it. The cats were familiar with it in ways I never could be. One day I went out to get a patch bay and was surprised at the price I found with the local music retailer. I was very excited to have this new power at my fingertips, primarily to swap out my various multi-effects processors in racks. There were two things grossly wrong with it: 1) it was somehow a half-inch too big for any standard rack, making it officially the dumbest sale I ever fell for...and why it was not displayed in a rack. Last money that store ever got from me. 2) Even if I just wanted to set it on top of a rack and roll with it...it had the hardest jacks I've ever tried to use, like they were just a hair too small, making me feel like I'd break cords sooner than later. NOPE. I have never insisted upon taking a return so hard. Paid a little more and got an upgrade chip instead, for a rare keyboard I had back then, Peavey DPM2.
Now I have a Push 2 and the cables have zipties and the cats all died. :(
@@BroodXindustrial Fun fact, 242 were my original inspiration to make music, no lie. I read an interview where they said they had a desire and the money to buy the equipment, so they dived in and learned as they went-- and you can hear it in their catalog, plainly. It really stuck with me and I went out and bought a drum machine...and that was just the 80s. The Decade I Discovered Debt. Heh.
I wonder if it would let me do the last 242 album as visuals!?!?! Oh, how fun that would be. I still listen to it every single year multiple times. About to start offering commissions to keep me busy, as I am addicted to learning more in this direction. I found LFOs in DaVinci Resolve, basically. No stopping me now. I should stream and show what I mean. Beast is right. Totally crowling.
