== Tracks ==
=== VI Scose Poise ===

=== Cfern ===

=== Pen Expers ===

* The title is likely a reference to [https://docs.cycling74.com/max7/vignettes/gen_genexpr GenExpr], the Max patching language.<!-- unsourced but also like, makes sense innit -->

=== Sim Gishel ===

=== Parhelic Triangle ===

=== Bine ===

=== Eidetic Casein ===

=== Uviol ===

=== Lentic Catachresis ===

=== MCR Quarter ===

* The title is a play on ''[[Envane]]''<nowiki/>'s Quarter trackers, but MCR may also stand for Manchester, since it was performed live there.<!-- saw sean refer to Manchester as MCR on mastadon -->

== Cover ==

* The cover art's font is [https://www.dafont.com/shadeerah.font Shadeerah Light].
* During the promotion cycle of ''Confield'', a page was posted<!-- the short's description links to rubber johnny but i remember that one was incorrect, and it was a different page. remind me to find that again. It had a weird chiastic slide aesthetic in the archived version which i assume the page itself would've featured the confileid video. --> by Warp on (3rd April? 4th March? i hate dates) 2001 titled Confileid (Con File ID) which featured the cover animated and where multiple frames of the video were the images that was used in the design of ''Confield''.[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-NsvXJ5DyAk]<!-- dont know how to phrase the last part, but basically see the images of confield's physical. If the video can be annotated after being reuploaded here, the exact frames can be cited. --> 
** When ''Confield'' was reissued, Warp put out higher quality versions of the Confield animations set to album tracks as shorts,<!-- they also put out one as a social media post, which is way higher quality, AND which also featured the draft cover animated. don't know where to fit that in but this should be added  --> both of the original for [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LgZQGpK3o-8 Sim Gishel] and [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6Zci4NpOQlA Lentic Catachresis], as well as different versions including a fountain-like eruption for [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sSgvFBESo_A VI Scose Poise], [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/o1Mu3VcN8tE Cfern], [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pyJmCTBjJZ8 Pen Expers]; a side downpour for [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rtstpM8WJ-A Bine] and [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kCOVyc-Jw3M Eidetic Casein]; and a top-down view for [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MAipXaToYQs Parhelic Triangle] and [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GC5k4dDyhjU Uviol]. <!-- would probably help to have the videos downloaded for future reference here, ey? -->
** The vinyl reissue also a different frame for the cover from the original Confield cover. [https://www.discogs.com/release/26137631-Autechre-Confield/image/SW1hZ2U6OTExNzc0NzU=]
