'''Sean:''' Um well, my name's Sean, and I'm from Autechre.
 
'''Rob:''' I'm Rob and I'm the other 50% of Autechre.
 
'''Sean:''' Well Autechre doesn't really mean anything, is sort of, it's just a word that we use to describe what we do (the crap). We do really like our music just because Autechre because, um, I don't know any other word that'd be too referential really. If I had to explain it to my granny, I'd tell her it was, nuh, this sort of thing she'd probably be into. Well we're up to our fourth album.
 
Um, we spent a lot of time before we made music, do a lot of, uh, pirate radio broadcasts and stuff like that. Before that we were quite into graffiti.

'''Rob:''' Our titles come from all over the place, we like messing around with words and we like the way words sound if they are spelt wrong but actually sound correct. What we do a lot of the time we're writing tracks, the track title'll be part of, uh, maybe a reference to the samples we're using, this and that, you know, part of the actual construction of the track. Other times we'll be, sarcastic...
Sean: Um well, my name's Sean, and I'm from Autechre.
 
I met Sean through this guy who introduced us. He met Sean on a bus one night, tagging, and he met me one night, sort of exchanging graffiti files. When we got together, we used to, sort of, edit my turntable mixes and Sean could mix as well and he'd do mixes and we both, both create sort of production mixes. And then eventually other people's records, their ideas, got replaced by our own ideas cause we got all the drum machines and samplers by then.


Rob: I'm Rob and I'm the other 50% of Autechre.
'''Sean:''' Well I mean yeah. People just get their own end of the sticks,<!-- this previous line is insanely dubious --> we just reckon that there's nobody doing decent stuff at the moment. I mean I actually reckon there's a lot of form for exploration within that... People haven't even sort of touched the surface yet.
