Gescom are supposed to have "close ties" to Autechre but I've always believed that Gescom are Autechre, and use the name as a brand for some of their off-script or collaborative work.
- isoprophlex 6y agoFor the longest time (until now) I've simply thought that gescom were a de facto alias of autechre...
- jlarcombe 6y agoyeah it's Autechre and a load of their mates isn't it?
- aasasd 6y ago> Incorrectly perceived as simply an Autechre side-project, Gescom in fact exists as a platform for a number of aligned artists to work in various different combinations, whilst remaining otherwise-anonymous. Personnel in Gescom has varied from release to release and even track to track. Quote from the Autechre FAQ: "Actually the whole Gescom crew consists of almost 20 people. Sean Booth calls it an 'umbrella-project'." https://www.discogs.com/artist/49-Gescom https://www.discogs.com/artist/49-Gescom
- motohagiography 6y agoOne of the Gescom samples from "corporate id" track, essentially you slow it down and reverse it and you get the phrase, "do, the things peo-ple say you cannot do." Ultimately, what was music but a way for a certain kind of mind to find and identify others of its kind? So these artists that are using novel encodings and ideas are essentially looking for others. I've got a limited amount of cycles for it, and I just hope they aren't aliens baiting a trap.
