Gantz Graf is the eighth EP by Autechre released on Warp Records. It was originally released on August 5th, 2002.[1]
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.[2]
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."[3] In another interview with icon magazine in 2004, Alex Rutherford mentioned that the video was done in Lightwave 3D.[4]
Tracks
Gantz Graf
- In a 2020 mixlr chat when asked about how the effects were done on "Gantz Graf", Sean refused to answer because "rob would kill me if i told you what he did that with".
- Gantz Graf analysis by Simon Cummings of 5:4.
Dial.
Cap.IV
- Despite the similarities to Draft 7.30's titlings, Sean noted that the title is referring to the vocal sample used on the track.[5]
Tracklist
| # | Title | Length |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gantz Graf | 3:58 |
| 2 | Dial. | 6:17 |
| 3 | Cap.IV | 9:02 |
| Total | 19:17 | |
Trivia
- The CAT number, WAP256, was likely specifically chosen by Autechre. Their previous release, Confield, had the CAT number WARP128, which is exactly half. elseq 1-5 released much later had WARP512, which is exactly double. All of these are powers of 2.
- Gantz Graf is one of only two Autechre releases to have a title track, with the other being Cavity Job.
