Autechre – Confield – 2LP

Warp

With “Confield”, Autechre largely abandoned the warm ambient sounds of their earlier works such as “Amber” and “Tri Repetae” in favour of more chaotic and abstract sound palettes and methods of composition that they had been pursuing with “LP5”, “EP7”, and “Peel Session 2”.

Issued by Warp, “Confield” saw the experimental use of computer programs, specifically Max/MSP, to form the basis of songs instead of stand-alone synthesizers.
