Gantz Graf is the eighth EP by Autechre released on Warp Records. It was originally released on August 5th, 2002.[1][2]

History

Gantz Graf was completed around the time of EP7, but was held back due to being too distinct at the time. It was then held back even longer as the music video by Alex Rutherford was in production.[3]

Music Video

The main idea came from a LSD trip around 1996-1997. To set the visuals to the music, pages of keyframes filled with numbers were used. The sections with slicing was the only part that was "an automated process."[4] In another interview with icon magazine in 2004, Alex Rutherford mentioned that the animation was done in Lightwave 3D.[5] The entire video took over four months to complete.[6]

DVD Release

Gantz Graf was released on 12" LP, CD, and a double-disc edition that contained the CD release of the EP, a DVD, and a fold-out booklet.[7] The DVD contains the original Gantz Graf video, stills from the video in a slideshow format, and two bonus videos for "Second Bad Vilbel" and "Basscadet (Bcdtmx)". The booklet also contains a still from Gantz Graf. The package, DVD menus, and Autechre logo animation when starting the DVD were designed by Alex Rutterford. The opening ident music was custom made for the DVD.[8]
