(for now, dump all non-release related trivia, i.e. events, ancedotes from interviews, history notes, etc.)
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]
- Rob explained that the initial "au" came from a sample on the FZ10, which itself was part of a list of samples Autechre labelled as "au[insert descriptive]" for "vocal choir voices sustaining a single note" such as 'or', 'awe' or the 'au' in aukland. [3]
- The current accepted pronounciation of Autechre, as the band itself uses, is "awe-teh-ker" (/ɔːˈtɛkər/). [4][5]
