For follow musicians/drummers/beat makers who are wondering : BPM : 100 A cycle is 5 bars long A bar is 7 beats long ( 7/4 ) You can hear 2 cycles in the intro, the 2nd starts at 0:21. There are 9 cycles in all the track. You can hear the last cycle at 2:48. And the key is a fucking ridiculously simple A minor.

This makes my whole body tingle and get goosebumps, feels like listening to the inner workings of the universe, like a battle between order and the chaotic entropy of reality.
I cannot describe this. It feels like a punch to the face by everything that exists but telling me it is gonna be okay. You will understand when the times right
The people in this comment section are so snobbish it's ridiculous. Just because one guy doesn't like the song doesn't make them dumb, stupid, or suggests they "don't get it." Good song btw ; )

As I was listening to this two years ago, aproximately, I remember going "What the shit? What just happened?". Now I'm nodding my head to this, just chilling out. It's weird how you develop musically (both as a listener and an artist) in such a short matter of time. Great stuff this. I also like the fact that this has over a million views.
This is a perfect video for this track, I have watched it hundreds of times over the years. Brilliant stuff. Every time I watch it, there is a certain moment where the shapes form my sisters face! 😀
This is the first song i heard from these guys and it still blows me away. I guess its because less is more in the music industry. Im done with lyrics. I believe that so much can be conveyed with the absence of words. Like one of my favorite writers once said, 'words, they only complicate the task'
This track is so abstract. Its that feeling when uts late at night. Ur body is tired and ur om the verge of falling asleep but u cant. All u can do is toss and turn and ur just getting tired of being tired. But ur too comfortable in bed.
I think you'll be surprised just how many artists have actually been influenced by Autechre. It's like how John Cage was doing unusual things in his time, and he didn't really care what others thought. Yet thanks to his little sound sketches he opened new areas in music and other musicians took influence from that. And that's how I feel about Autechre. Alot of their songs I feel are more like 'sketches' of great ideas. Obviously everyone interprets things different but that's how I view it.
My very capability to describe this with language falls short. The words cacophony, ensemble or anything I think of can not touch this music. Beyond masterful and extremely touching. Watching this video and discovering this makes me feel more human.
Dropp reminds me of standing in the parking lot of the horrible job I worked at when I first heard this EP, taking a break to watch the full moon. Like that moon then, it reminds me that this too shall pass.
I see where Thom Yorke took many sounds and ideas, cause he confesses that Autechre is one of their influences. // Ya veo de donde sacó muchos sonidos e ideas Thom Yorke. Él se confiesa que Autechre es una de sus influencias.
I got addicted to listening music like Autechre almost 13 years ago now... Helped me through alot of harsh times always makes me feel very chill in a special way like if my body and brain sighs... Please respect Autechre for they are one of the best !!!
Really? Everything I've heard by VS has reminded me of Aphex Twin far more than ae. I'm pretty sure Vs has counted Afx on his influences numerous times. I'm guessing Chrome Box is very different from the rest of his output then?
If you want to hear the closest thing to sounding like them both then listen to the track 'elephant gear', both ae and VS shared files for that track. From what I remember Autechre provided the sounds and VS sequenced it. So even though that track is using mostly Autechre sound sources it still sounds nothing like ae, it sounds like a VS track to me and his signature is still all over it. They're just too different to one another imo, and the more you listen to their discographies the more obvious it becomes. Honestly I would say Autechre are closer to BoC than they are to VS. Obviously that's a big stretch to compare them to BoC, but that's the point, but I would still say they're closer to them than they are to VS..(i.e. comparing BoC back in the Skam days with Autechre's old output and some of their Gescom material etc. Both are very ambient orientated and heavily hip-hop influenced..similar melancholy vibes in tracks, similar gritty sampler signatures, similar gear tones back then with roland analog synths, samplers etc). In the end it's all subjective though so whatever lol. :-)
drukQs yeah, Huge Chrome is an extremely significant venetian snares album. probably his most elaborate and enigmatic. Sounds absolutely nothing like any other album he has put out.
I've watched this video a number of times over the past year or so and am continually mesmerized by it. The visual elements are a great representation of what the song sounds like and how it plays out.
major props for this. this is up there with the gantz graf video in terms of expressing what an autechre song is "saying" where words completely fail. bravo.
i would say sit back and listen to tri-repetae and untilted all the way through. autechre takes a good amount of patience to listen to, but it's almost always worth it. very worth it:)
Add "&fmt=18" (without the quotes) to the end of this video and it increases both the audio and video quality. This video is a fusion of science and art - simply brilliant.
That's exactly what this music is. It's abstract. This was released in 1999 aswell so putting that into perspective this is an impressive song. This EP sits perfectly in Autechre's lifecycle too, as their earlier albums were more ambient techno and each album got more progressively experimental. There comes a point when making music that you end up getting 'bored' so progression is the next logical step, and these boys actually weren't afraid to do it.
Pushing the boundaries of what you do as a musician is probably the most satisfying thing possible. And that in itself demands respect. I can understand why people won't / don't like Autechre, but for me personally they're sort of have this mentality similar to my own. An appreciation of electronic gear and pushing it further, that is actually very addictive. Anyways you're always going to need artists like this, where other musicians can draw influence from.
a few years ago, i listened to this wanting to like it, but not knowing how to approach it. ive left my days of listening to electronic music and gone back to indie, post rock, post hardcore, emo, and the likes. although, i held onto a few treasures from the electronic music world. a few autechre song titles popped in my head and i came back here. now i see it. this is truly compositionaly fantastic. only negativity i can give is that the compression doesnt seem tight enough on the percussion.
People must understand that not everyone can comprehend this stuff. If it was mainstream there would be absolutely no fun to looking around for tracks and knowing truly complex music
When I was younger, I loved stupid trance music. Now that I'm older I play autechre, Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada. What a wasted youth! This shit never gets old!.
I agree. There are patterns out there that can defy observation. In my opinion, those can make some of the most unique and complex melodies known. And you are certainly right about art: it is in the eye of the beholder :)

thanks a lot, I couldn't figure out the melody for the life of me - I know it's not that complicated but I just couldn't get it
Any chance I can get your guess on the sound design on the main melody/ lead synth?
Dang I still don't get it, but hey music is fun either way.
@@robertordonez9242 Autechre quite liked their Nord Lead around the time of EP7/LP5, so that would be a decent guess.
This makes my whole body tingle and get goosebumps, feels like listening to the inner workings of the universe, like a battle between order and the chaotic entropy of reality.
This comment resonates with me too much
this comment goes so hard
I've just seen Autechre live in the netherlands and it was mindblowing. An outstanding piece of musical art! The best hour i've ever heard so far
lucky person you are
I didn't expect this to make me cry, but it did. Beautiful stuff.
I cannot describe this. It feels like a punch to the face by everything that exists but telling me it is gonna be okay. You will understand when the times right
Man, the compression on this.
People saying this sounds like Aphex literally don't know what they are talking about. They're both tagged under IDM, that's the closest similarity
still here after 14 years
i was a lot different back then when i first found this
time has passed
The people in this comment section are so snobbish it's ridiculous. Just because one guy doesn't like the song doesn't make them dumb, stupid, or suggests they "don't get it."
Good song btw ; )
Sad I never got to talk Autechre with the GOAT. RIP Jonas.
who is Jonas?

Amazing.
Complex beats and emotional soundscapes = music to my ears.

Boom tetris for jonas!

these are the kinds of interactions and reactions the artist in me works for, at the end of the day.

I've seen them live a month ago & i must say: they're awsome.
one of my alltime most favorite songs, it´s somehow strangely uplifting
Ill bever get bored listening to this, so interesting, love the seq balancing and layers on here.
Давно их слушаю. С прошлого века. Это офигенно.
this is making me realize why people say "Huge Chrome Cylinder Box Unfolding" by Venetian Snares is the best Autechre album never made. Great song!
Really? Everything I've heard by VS has reminded me of Aphex Twin far more than ae. I'm pretty sure Vs has counted Afx on his influences numerous times. I'm guessing Chrome Box is very different from the rest of his output then?

Sing it back to me
These visuals really suits the sound:)
(: great job :)
Thanks for the upload....It sounds top in my mission speakers....
Absolutely Beautiful

- You are like a little baby. Watch this

awesome...super stoked to see them tonight!!!!! Autechre , ATX !!!!!!
Dark Creepy sound. Pure genius love it 🖤
That's the best autechre video i've ever seen, offical or not. Just Perfect
major props for this. this is up there with the gantz graf video in terms of expressing what an autechre song is "saying" where words completely fail. bravo.
OH MAN! Dear uploader/ creator of this unofficial video, I love you and thanks!
i would say sit back and listen to tri-repetae and untilted all the way through. autechre takes a good amount of patience to listen to, but it's almost always worth it. very worth it:)
This video was toe-curlingly beautiful, and greatly enriched the music. Bravo.
Suena casi orgánico.
¡Es impresionante!
this is by far the most amazing homemade video i have ever seen!!....awesome stuff....excellent autechre track aswell!
What an excellent find! I'm so happy I came across this!
every modern musician has tried and failed to create a dropp sicker than this. hats off to you autechre.
hell yeah, i've been looking for this yet didn't know what to look for til today
One of my favorite videos of all time.
i am glad to see that this lives up to these guys' name. i am saving this for when we party with lucy next. great video to save.
He masters a very rare ability to make your experience of music synesthetic.

if you told me that this was the official video i would believe you.
really well done
This video goes great with the song. Very, VERY nice, especially for an unofficial video. I just love these visuals, they're so inspiring.
if you don't get this music it's cause you don't have the ears for it. that's to bad cause this is great!
That's exactly what this music is. It's abstract. This was released in 1999 aswell so putting that into perspective this is an impressive song.

An excellent video to accompany the unique and amazingly talented Autechre..
seemingly dark yet relaxing feel emitted from the music...brilliant.
WICKED! I love autechre, study max/msp, etc. This one is a welcome adaptation to the song. Good work :)
Pushing the boundaries of what you do as a musician is probably the most satisfying thing possible. And that in itself demands respect.

Hey congratulations man your comment was the number 303 :D
Nice song, somehow it's my first time listening to Autechre..
Another great band who keep on giving us beautiful songs to take to our hearts and cherish. That's one of their finest :-)
i love every song of autechre.
but man! the graphcis are pretty fkng awesome, congrats dude! love the graphics
a few years ago, i listened to this wanting to like it, but not knowing how to approach it. ive left my days of listening to electronic music and gone back to indie, post rock, post hardcore, emo, and the likes. although, i held onto a few treasures from the electronic music world. a few autechre song titles popped in my head and i came back here. now i see it. this is truly compositionaly fantastic. only negativity i can give is that the compression doesnt seem tight enough on the percussion.
He is shifting the edge of art to another level
Wow, just like Gantz Graf, I love the music with the video!
Well done!
People must understand that not everyone can comprehend this stuff. If it was mainstream there would be absolutely no fun to looking around for tracks and knowing truly complex music
5 stars for sure. Much respect for Autechre!
Nice video, good work. Gotta love EP7.
I think we´d all pretty much agree that you are missing out, yes. I love them both.
I'm having to scoop my brain from being blown by how amazing this track and video are!
Pure genius!!!
This is a brilliant visual piece to a cracking piece of music. Good work all around, everyone!
I started off thinking 'Is this finally a youtube argument between two smart people' but then askadetra totally went insane towards the end lol.
Im freaking love this song!!!
it's great.
haha.
it's actually probably one of the best autechre videos out there, anyway.
excellent.
mind bogglingly good, can't begin to imagine how someone thinks this stuff up.
After Effects, power of parenting... wicked job
When I was younger, I loved stupid trance music. Now that I'm older I play autechre, Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada. What a wasted youth! This shit never gets old!.
my favourite autechre track ever , very nice video also
Video was very well made, I commend the one who created it. It fit well with the music. The song was great as well, I like the sounds used in it.
I like this better than the Gantz Graf video. The visuals are more pleasing to the eye. Great job with this.
youre right! And thats greatness of Autechre
I agree. There are patterns out there that can defy observation. In my opinion, those can make some of the most unique and complex melodies known. And you are certainly right about art: it is in the eye of the beholder :)
Whoa... Sounds nice! And good graphics too.
Great video. I like to find moving art set to music and I know Autechre offers many soundscapes to tease the mind's eye.
my ears thank you for this
Sounds delicious! This guys def know how to use Max MSP
We dig this!! Greetings from CHASMA!!
They make whole environments. You can make whole scenes in your head when you listen to this. I just wish i have hi end hi-fi system.
wow, completely impressed, a well thought and beautifully crafted visual to go with a great track.
nice one, enjoyed this vid
one of the many song of autechre that i call my fave
one of my fav autechre tracks w a gr8 vid.. thanks, mate.. i dontknow abt the ending tho..
Amazing song. Amazing video. Bravo.
best tune i heard from autechre...but iam really new to their music and i must say its fucking awesome! Video is cool as well! great work!
oh my god, awesome music!
really good.
btw, what programme did you use to make this animation? (Is it some in winamp included visualisation?)
I hope the people that made this video get some recognition
Beautiful syncronization, fantastic, refrehing art.
holy crap...
breathtaking :))
This is beautiful.
Brilliant video, excellent track :-)
WOW! Finally a video that makes sense.
