Recorded: 3 March 2009
Instruments: 4 synths, percussion
Comments: Some informal listening analysis of Autechre’s Fold4,Wrap5 from LP5 resulted in this recording. The timing structure was fairly straightforward to replicate, and a screenshot of the breakpoint function used to achieve it is shown below; even a gentle curve yields clearly apparent results. The melodic synths chosen, meanwhile, are more reminiscent of Plaid’s I Citizen the Loathsome from Greedy Baby.
