Draft 7.30 is the seventh studio album by Autechre released on Warp Records. It was originally released on April 7th, 2003[1][2], then later repressed on vinyl in 2023, alongside Confield.[3][4]

History

Draft 7.30 was made over the span of fifteen months, leading up to October 2002.[5]

Sean noted that Draft 7.30 was "really straight, using straight-up normal sequencers and samplers." With the exception of some minor generative elements on "Reniform Puls", Draft 7.30 was otherwise fully planned and composed.[6][7] Alongside that, a lot of Digital Performer was used, with one use case involving "triggering a sampler from the sequencer (akai z8 over midi)"[8], as well as using a lot of amplitude envelopes and "really light touches of quadraverb and lexicon on select parts".[9]

Before the release of Draft 7.30, early tracks titles were uploaded to CDDB (each track has their original title listed in their respective section). In the WATMM Ask Autechre Anything, Sean confirmed that they were the actual working file titles that he threw onto CDDB "for a laugh." [10] The title itself was confirmed to literally mean the seventh draft, 30th revision, with Sean noting that the working title "just stuck".[11]

Tracks

Xylin Room

  • One of the percussive samples is of a wooden garden table being knocked on. [12]
  • The original title was "Benk Chin".

IV VV IV VV VIII

  • The original title was "nwnw8", with the final title being a heavily stylised version of that title - substituting N for IV and W for VV.
  • "IV VV IV VV VIII" was initially released as a single for Draft 7.30, both for radio play[13] and download.[14]

6IE.CR

  • "6IE.CR" consists of a CR-8000 being fed through a RSD10 with the Nord controlling the pitch of it with some gating and layering for the second half that Sean couldnt properly remember.[15]
  • The original title was "606.ie" in the CDDB, which Sean also confirmed in interview that it was initially called that because "it was based on a manipulation of a 606 sound."[16] The title got abbreivated to 6IE, with CR likely being appended to mean the CR-8000.

Tapr

  • The original title was "reppat", which when reversed spells out "tapper".

Surripere

  • BPM: 120
  • The track initially started life as two separate tracks, with the second half made before the first. Later in development, they realised that both tracks had the same tempo and decided to combine it for the final track. [17]
  • "Surripere" consists of either a fake analog or Nord on the first part, and a Nord Lead with Native Battery's loop modulation on the second part's "crunchy stuff."[12]
  • The original title was "Theft". The final title "Surripere" is the Latin root word of surreptitious, meaning to do something stealthily.[16] A straight translation of "Surripere" is in fact "theft"

Theme Of Sudden Roundabout

  • “Theme Of Sudden Roundabout” is a reference to Sudden, a suburb of Rochdale where Rob and Sean grew up.[16] The titular roundabout in question could be this one, as seen on Google Maps.
  • The original title, as listed on CDDB, was "Prince Moth Mothy Moth Moth". In the WATMM Ask Autechre Anything, Rob mentions this was wrong, that the original title ended with Mother, as in someone who does moths.[18] However, in a 2023 Mastodon post when Sean was asked about the title again, he mentioned that it was just Moth at the end.[19] In that same post, Sean explained that the track was called that after an "epically large moth" landed on their Nord Modular and sat there for much of the track.

VL AL 5

  • A 12-minute version of VL AL 5 was played during the 2008-02-23 Webcast.
  • The original title was "Vlimpton Alpha 5", which the final title is just an abbreviation of.

P.:NTIL

  • The original title was "Foam Conduit".
  • In an article by Erin Hutton, he included a note that the title is pronounced "pointil".[11]

V-Proc

  • The original title was "uprock".
  • "V-Proc" initially started out with simple drum samples (possibly Linndrum) before being mangled beyond recognition. [20]

Reniform Puls

  • The original title listed in the CDDB was "kidney bean". The final title consists of "Reniform", which means kidney-shaped, and "Puls", which is just short for Pulse.[16] "Pulse" can be either be interpreted in an electronic context (i.e. clock pulse) or as a synonym for legume/bean, the latter of which would indicate that Reniform (kidney-shaped) Puls (bean) directly references the original title.
  • "Reniform Puls" is the only track to have any use of Max/MSP on Draft 7.30,[6] however most of it was still DAWs: "mostly done in digital performer, but there's loads of hardware on there, and bits of modular stuff." [21]

Tracklist

# Title Length
1 Xylin Room 6:09
2 IV VV IV VV VIII 4:51
3 6IE.CR 5:39
4 Tapr 3:15
5 Surripere 11:23
6 Theme Of Sudden Roundabout 4:52
7 VL AL 5 4:57
8 P.:NTIL 7:08
9 V-Proc 6:00
10 Reniform Puls 8:39
Total 1:02:51

Note: The capitalisation is based by Sean's word,[22] however the capitalization varies across releases, which either writes all caps[23][24] or inconsistently formats different sets of tracks into title case like Bleep[25], MusicBrainz[26] and other streaming services.

Trivia

  • For the liner notes of Draft 7.30 (image), Sean notes that their designer (Alexander Rutterford) wanted to have code design for the inlay tape, and so they provided him with a bunch of nonsense Pascal code which was five times longer than what could fit.[27]

SB: Oh, they're quite recent. I mean, we only finished the album in October and they sort of been... sort of the fifteen month period before that, so. Yeah, erm. Yeah, that's kind of it, really. Fifteen month period before last October... I mean it was all written after Confield , this stuff."

And even when the beats sound like they are moving around in time and space, they're not random. They're based on sets of rules and we have a good handle on them. Draft is really straight, using straight-up normal sequencers and samplers. It's written note by note, where we know exactly what we put on. Only 'Reniform Puls' has some generative stuff, done by Max, which also controls a vocal filter in that track"

  12. 12.0 12.1 Sean Twitch AMA, June 2022"Hope you don't mind me asking how did you approached the timbre of the percussive sounds in Xylin Room and Surripere from a technical standpoint? They're incredibly spacious and crunchy. They're both really different. They're just samples. I don't know what to say. Xylin Room was like, originally it was like samples of a wooden outdoor table, like a garden table being knocked by knuckles, and then it was taken into the sampler in sequenced really heavily. And then Surripere, I can, the first part of it was some kind of fake analog. I think it was the Nord actually, yeah. And then, Nord Lead, and then the second part of it, the crunchy stuff. I can't actually remember, but it was done using that Native Battery, so, you know, the sampler that Native did. It was done using that because I remember the loop modulation. You could do loop modulation in it. You could tie it to the envelope, so there's some of that in there, but that's all I remember. I don't remember what the actual sources were. They were probably drum machine sounds originally, but they probably just grittied up. I can't remember now."

  16. 16.0 16.1 16.2 16.3 Sound On Sound Interview, April 2004"Going into details about some of the track titles on Draft 7:30, Booth explains "'6IE.CR' was actually called '606IE,' because it was based on a manipulation of a 606 sound. 'Reniform' is a real word, meaning kidney-shaped, and 'Puls' of course is 'Pulse' without the 'e'. 'Surripere' is the Latin word that's the root of 'surreptitious'. And in 'Theme of Sudden Roundabout', 'Sudden' is actually the name of a place.""

  27. Autechre's Interview to Grooves Magazine, February 2003"AR: Liner notes to Draft 7.30 have clips of Supercollider, Java, Pascal code. Any thoughts on this? SB: That was just for our graphic designer. Originally I wasn't into it, really. He kinda wanted some text to go inside the tape... yeah, it is a bit of a joke. It was kinda like... 'cause I sent it to him hoping that he was going... 'cause we sent him a lot more than that, we sent him about five times as much as that. And he kind of... he ended up scaling it just so that it'd fit the page, but he was a bit irritated; it didn't reduce into the fit of the tape. So it doesn't totally reveal itself, but it didn't really matter the only least bit of it, 'cause it's nonsense anyway. But it looks better when you see the whole lot, erm, but it wasn't supposed to be legible, it was supposed to be texture, in a way. It was something for him to use really from a graphical perspective. He wanted text, so, yeah, we wrote some nonsense software. It's mostly Pascal, you know, kind of dated (laughs). Erm, yeah, it was our idea of a joke, kinda. We haven't used that much Autechre code on this album ­ a bit, not a massive amount; we haven't really used any generative sequencing at all on this record. It's all composed with straight-up sequencing we've knackered and stuff. So, erm, there's plenty bit of proper code on this sleeve, but only our idea of it. Probably the only ones laughing at it, as usual."
