Gescom is a musical collective that is associated with Autechre. The earliest mention of the group was under the thanks credits for Incunabula. During their 2013 AMA, Rob mentioned that Gescom is a separate project from work as Autechre.[1] Sean confirms that at least 15-20 people have been part of the group, including him and Rob.[2] Sean also mentions that it means other people can release material without their involvement.[3]

Screenshot of the program used to generate Horizon.
  • Horizon
    • Horizon is a generative piece made using the BBC BASIC programming language for the BBC Micro series of microcomputers. It was originally created by Sean in 2004 for the rand()% generative radio station by the BBC.[17]
    • It was supposed to be reused for the Composing with Process radio series from Radio Web MACBA in 2010, but was mistakenly credited to Sean instead of Gescom.[18][19][20] It was subsequently replaced with a piece by Ryoji Ikeda due to Warp Record's exclusivity policies.[21]
    • The full BBC BASIC code used to create the track is featured on the artwork of its ID3 metadata – an emulator screenshot of the program after being loaded. It only uses 6 lines.
