===M4 Lema===
During the [[Sean Twitch AMA, June 2022]], Sean answered a few questions regarding the live material after having performed the first show of the twentytwentytwo tour. The tour was initially planned to be held in 2020<!-- trivia that there is speculation the title may be a second attempt at the twentytwenty tour, aka twentytwenty two? -->, before the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the tour. Sean mentioned that on his end, he spent the time reworking the back end, getting interested in MC (multi-channel audio in max), physical modelling and scratching, with the last one seeing use on Gescom's ''[[AMKS_1]]''. [https://aepages.org/wiki/Sean_Twitch_AMA,_June_2022#:~:text=Basically%20when%20COVID%20hit%2C%20I%20had%20a%20lot%20of%20time%20on%20my%20hands%20to%20rebuild%20a%20lot%20of%20it.] The end product was Sean noting that they had at least 3 and a half hours of material prepared.

The first show of the tour was performed at Primavera in Barcelona on the 3rd of June. In the AMA, Sean mentioned that that particular show did not go well, as they had to negotiate the rights to the soundboard from Primavera before messing up the recording regardless causing it to be left off the initial 2022 batch.[https://aepages.org/wiki/Sean_AMA_Transcript_220605#:~:text=Yeah%2C%20there%27s%20not%20really%20any%20good%20pictures%2C%20but%20the%20problem%20was%20with%20Primavera%2C]


===F7===
On October 4th, 2022, "AE_LIVE_HELSINKI_110922_LTD" was released early exclusively to attendants of the show, with the reasoning being due to technical issues during the show.[https://www.reddit.com/r/autechre/comments/xobdtd/exclusive_release_incoming_for_helsinki_attendees/]<!-- should we possibly include the original cover? --><!-- also maybe find the official announcement of this --> Small glitches started to materialize a third into the show, which progressively became so distracting that by the last third of the show, it was plagued with loud pops and audio dropouts. <!-- very rough synthesis of the reddit and watmm source -->Explanation for the issues reigned in on it being due to the poor subwoofer setup and system clock drift, which in combination with the heavy subbass in the set caused a coil short circuit in the speakers.[https://www.reddit.com/r/autechre/comments/xbspfv/there_were_some_audio_issues_during_helsinki_gig/?rdt=51772][https://forum.watmm.com/topic/102400-autechre-live-twentytwentytwo/?do=findComment&comment=2925915] The soundboard was left unmastered for this release, and later rereleased with proper mastering. <!-- there's mention of similar issues at Athens, though it was not intense enough to warrant any announcement. Doubt it should be included but thought I should note. -->


* Elements on "F7" appear in the [[AE LIVE 2022－|2022 live sets]]. ([https://youtu.be/lrSIKl-IbY4?t=2376 example])
On August 7th, 2023, Warp sent out an announcement to sign up for to the newsletter. The following day, ''AE_LIVE 2022－'' was officially announced, and the first batch of shows from Milan 2022 to Turin 2022 was released individually and as a compilation on the 10th. The hyphen added to the end of the title indicated the possibility of future sets being added at a later date.


===si00===
In a Mastodon post on November 18th, 2023, he gave an update that the material was up to "about 4 hours long so far and growing steadily." [https://web.archive.org/web/20231118215345/https://post.lurk.org/@sean_ae/111433472440615681#:~:text=We%20took%20a,from%20our%20POV.]

* '''#1'''
* In the [https://youtu.be/jgMArRJswIQ&t=71 15 December 2022 max demo], the synthesizer in channel 9 is called "psinAMbq.MC", likely indicating that module was the origin for the title of "psin AM".

*One theory is that the catalogue numbers were chosen such that each digit adds up to 14 (3+2+9) to match ''SIGN'' being the 14th album.

AE_LIVE 2022－, otherwise known as twentytwentytwo, is a compilation of seven soundboard recordings taken from live shows performed throughout 2022. The first batch was released on August 10th, 2023.

History

During the Sean Twitch AMA, June 2022, Sean answered a few questions regarding the live material after having performed the first show of the twentytwentytwo tour. The tour was initially planned to be held in 2020, before the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the tour. Sean mentioned that on his end, he spent the time reworking the back end, getting interested in MC (multi-channel audio in max), physical modelling and scratching, with the last one seeing use on Gescom's AMKS_1. [1] The end product was Sean noting that they had at least 3 and a half hours of material prepared.

The first show of the tour was performed at Primavera in Barcelona on the 3rd of June. In the AMA, Sean mentioned that that particular show did not go well, as they had to negotiate the rights to the soundboard from Primavera before messing up the recording regardless causing it to be left off the initial 2022 batch.[2]

On October 4th, 2022, "AE_LIVE_HELSINKI_110922_LTD" was released early exclusively to attendants of the show, with the reasoning being due to technical issues during the show.[3] Small glitches started to materialize a third into the show, which progressively became so distracting that by the last third of the show, it was plagued with loud pops and audio dropouts. Explanation for the issues reigned in on it being due to the poor subwoofer setup and system clock drift, which in combination with the heavy subbass in the set caused a coil short circuit in the speakers.[4][5] The soundboard was left unmastered for this release, and later rereleased with proper mastering.

On August 7th, 2023, Warp sent out an announcement to sign up for to the newsletter. The following day, AE_LIVE 2022－ was officially announced, and the first batch of shows from Milan 2022 to Turin 2022 was released individually and as a compilation on the 10th. The hyphen added to the end of the title indicated the possibility of future sets being added at a later date.

In a Mastodon post on November 18th, 2023, he gave an update that the material was up to "about 4 hours long so far and growing steadily." [6]

Material

One of the notable tracks to appear is "ecol4" (example), which Sean mentioned started out "basically like the ecol4 that's on PLUS" before heavy revisions .[7] Some other noteworthy track element usages include "F7" (example) and "psin AM" (example).
