== History ==
Some of the equipment used for ''Tri Repetae'' include the R8, Juno, 202, MS-10 Korg, Quadraverb, Ensoniq EPS,  Atari 1040 running C-Lab Creator, Boss RSD-10, and possibly the 606.<ref name=":0">{{Cite interview|quote='''What synths and drum machines did you use on tri rep?'''

For the designs of ''Tri Repetae'', The Designers Republic initially used reference shots of the machinery from Chris Cunningham's [[Anvil Vapre#Second Bad Vilbel|"Second Bad Vilbel"]] music video, which were then heavily modified in Photoshop. The final album cover was however collectively decided by both Autechre and TDR to instead be a "totally plain metallic (technology) green (nature) cover (somewhere between Beatles White and Prince's Black)."<ref>https://www.thedesignersrepublic.com/tri-repetae</ref>
 
== Tracks ==
 
=== Dael ===
 
* "Dael" is Autechre's abbreviation for [[wikipedia:Rochdale|Rochdale]].<ref>{{Cite interview|page=Skamboys from Dael, October 1996|quote=(P.S. : Dael is Ae's abreviation for Rochdale. Home of Ae headquarters in the north of Manchester.)}}</ref>
 
=== Clipper ===
 
* "Clipper" used the CR-8000<ref>https://imgur.com/a/sean-ae-mastodon-2024-08-17-clipper-cr-8000-https-post-lurk-org-sean-ae-112976514184882638-U07MiX3</ref> as well as possibly the Alesis MMT-8.
* The intro to "Clipper" uses a glitch where the old ram contents of the Ensoniq EPS got rapidly read out when the loop end was set before the actual start of the sample.<ref>https://imgur.com/a/sean-ae-mastodon-2024-08-15-clipper-ensoniq-glitch-https-post-lurk-org-sean-ae-112965040822257308-NW00Kll</ref> The same effect can be seen on the intro to [[Chiastic Slide#Cipater|"Cipater"]] as well as on Gescom Minidisc's R M I Corporate ID 1 & 2.
* "Clipper" appeared in the Tri repetour shows. ([https://youtu.be/qeaXQo4nJEg?si=G1X26jLuPYzhSJ-Y&t=1726 example])<!-- might make a page for the tri repetour if i can find the shows that fall under that label -->
* "Clipper" was licensed out to be used in Volkswagen's New Beetle Isotope Green Commercial.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZOAAdnneBs</ref> <!-- what should count as noteable features? the standards are inconsistent.  -->
 
=== Leterel ===
 
* An early version of "Leterel" appeared on ''[[Warp Tapes 89-93]]'' as a segment in [https://youtu.be/9RQFxBFhGl4?t=5013 Part 2]. In the [[Sean Twitch AMA, July 2022]], Sean not only confirmed that it appeared in Warp Tapes, but also in ''[[AE_LIVE 2016/2018]]'' where the track was heavily retooled.<ref>{{Cite interview|quote='''did the onesix sets feature a remix of Leterel? the part with all the loud chords that ppl would shout in between''' Yeah, that's what I was. But it's also a remix of an older tune, which I'm not going to tell you the title of, but it's under Warp Tapes. There's like a full circle type in that.|page=Sean Twitch AMA, July 2022}}</ref>
 
=== Rotar ===
 
=== Stud ===
 
=== Eutow ===
 
* An extended version of "Eutow"  combined with "Basscadet" from ''[[Incunabula]]'' and "Djarum" from ''[[Anti]]'' appeared in their 1995-1996 live shows. ([https://youtu.be/qeaXQo4nJEg?si=KThpxtrAp4qYhs7h&t=2699 example]) <!-- change this comment because the eutow's they performed were mixed -->
* In 2001, [[Alex Rutherford]] made an unofficial music video on Channel 4's Lo-fi programme. <!-- UNSOURCED, there's two links on wikipedia leading to archive.today which i cant access and another source which just says that "Lo-fi existed in 2000". also here's another point https://www.reddit.com/r/autechre/comments/jvch5y/comment/gjeo8r7/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3  -->As of writing, the video has yet to resurface.
 
=== C/Pach ===
 
* The cowbell on "C/Pach" was done by using the EPS-16+ to loop a bit of reverb on the sample and then pitch bending it.<ref>{{Cite interview|quote='''How did you make the rolling pitch effect of the cowbell in C/Pach, Ensoniq EPS-16+?'''

=== Gnit ===
 
=== Overand ===
 
* "Overand" uses the Roland CR-8000 on the drums.<ref name=":0" /> Sean also mentioned that the main riff was a "dx100 sound with a fairly short decay, low sustain (i think 0) and the release set rly long" with possibly RSD-10 used for delay, and the background high-end sounds were achieved by creating aliasing effects on a resonant 202 a Quadraverb patch with cutoff set above its Nyquist.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://post.lurk.org/@sean_ae/111755474737128425</ref> <!-- this last sentence is borderline nonsense, here's the excerpt for anyone who wants to rewrite it. or you can just quote it directly, would also help  "The high pitched stuff was a very resonant 202 sound thru a quadraverb patch, with the cutoff set above whatever the nyquist is for the quadraverb (tuned by ear) so it creates aliasing in the quadraverb, and most of what you’re hearing there is the aliasing."  -->

Tri Repetae is the third studio album by Autechre released on Warp Records. It was originally released on November 6th, 1995[1], then later repressed on vinyl in 2016, alongside Incunabula, and Amber.

History

Some of the equipment used for Tri Repetae include the R8, Juno, 202, MS-10 Korg, Quadraverb, Ensoniq EPS, Atari 1040 running C-Lab Creator, Boss RSD-10, and possibly the 606.[2] The record consists of one-shot takes recorded straight to DAT, largely due to the lack of good multitrack and editing technology they could use.[3]

For the designs of Tri Repetae, The Designers Republic initially used reference shots of the machinery from Chris Cunningham's "Second Bad Vilbel" music video, which were then heavily modified in Photoshop. The final album cover was however collectively decided by both Autechre and TDR to instead be a "totally plain metallic (technology) green (nature) cover (somewhere between Beatles White and Prince's Black)."[4]

Tracks

Clipper

  • "Clipper" used the CR-8000[6] as well as possibly the Alesis MMT-8.
  • The intro to "Clipper" uses a glitch where the old ram contents of the Ensoniq EPS got rapidly read out when the loop end was set before the actual start of the sample.[7] The same effect can be seen on the intro to "Cipater" as well as on Gescom Minidisc's R M I Corporate ID 1 & 2.
  • "Clipper" appeared in the Tri repetour shows. (example)
  • "Clipper" was licensed out to be used in Volkswagen's New Beetle Isotope Green Commercial.[8]

  • The cowbell on "C/Pach" was done by using the EPS-16+ to loop a bit of reverb on the sample and then pitch bending it.[10]

  • "Overand" was used as the opening track in the workprint for the film "One Hour Photo", but was later replaced in the final version.[12]
