Trivia

• Autechre's record deal with Warp Records supposedly states that both Sean and Rob are forbidden to release material under any name other than Autechre (or Gescom in select circumstances).
• The name "Autechre" was created by first typing "au" and then keysmashing the rest until the Atari's 8-character limit was hit. It initially came about as a track title before being adopted as their stage name six months later. [1][2]
  • The initial "au" is a reference to their list of voice samples on the FZ10 which were formatted as "au[descriptive]". Rob described it as vocal choir voices types of samples which were holding notes that sounded like "'or', 'awe', 'au'kland and so on." [3]
  • The current accepted pronounciation of Autechre, as the band itself uses, is "awe-teh-ker" (/ɔːˈtɛkər/). [4][5]
