Yeah, there's some MSP here, all right, and the results are as expansive, varied, and engaging as you would imagine - it's an N-hour tour de force. The entire set is now on offer on the Autechre Bleep Store, either in digital form available right now, as a set of 8 CDs, or as a set of four sets of vinyl - one for each week. NTS and online listeners could listen to the performances as they appeared (and were available online for a temporary period). During the month of April, Autechre were artists in residence at the Manchester-based NTS radio, where they put together a weekly 2-hour set of performances for broadcast. The end of July will bring vinyl lovers an entirely new set of opportunities for these behaviors. The challenge to you will be to decide which ones are which).

Can you send me any Autechre patches? Thanks!" variety (a note to new users - some of those patches are authentic, some are not.

Their body of work continues to extend, evolve and amaze us even now, the urge to push past our response to what we hear toward wondering "how it's done" hasn't flagged an iota, and they're probably the hands-down all-time winners when it comes to MSP patch grovels of the " Hi.

In this case, it’s also MSP to the rescue, providing the click tracks as guides to the performers. As you might imagine, Mark’s rhythmic systems present a challenge to the performer. The work continues Mark’s compositional interest in the Carnatic system of tala in terms of generative possibilities, albeit in a more personally expressed form. This outing features the Portuguese percussion ensemble Grupo De Percussão De Serralves, performing on a set of microtonally-tuned instruments originally developed by Iannis Xenakis for his piece Pléïades - the Sixxen.

While Mark continues his fascination with various kinds of generative rhythmic structure, this recording is interesting because it's the first commercial release of his in several decades that is performed rather than electronically generated - in that regard, it stands alongside a new direction for inquiry that includes live performance (his collaboration with Laurie Spiegel on Time and Space Shapes for Gamelan.) or acoustic rather than electronic sound sources (his Protomusic installation at The Great Exhibition Of The North). His most recent release is something of a departure not in form, but in realization. Harking back to his early days as part of snd, Mark Fell’s always been interested in different ways of generating melodic and rhythmic systems in his compositional practice.
