So my answer was ME SMART ME FAKE AUTECHRE THE HUMAN WAY. Took me
about 90 minutes.
There are mistakes in it since it's a first take recording. But I
think it illustrates the fact that once you understand some of the
techniques Autechre uses, you can imitate them fairly easily. It
doesn't mean it's a great track, it means that Autechre's sound design
techniques are not that arcane.
What makes Autechre Autechre is what they do with the tools they've
chosen. Their intent, their ideas about pacing and progression in
electronic music.
