… why I like Autechre.

It’s because their music—or more aptly, textured noise—sounds like the music in my head that I would come up with in some of my odder moods as a young child. Listen to tri repetae++ through headphones. You will need headphones, because their are some passages that seem like silence to a casual listener but really aren’t.

At best, you’ll be fascinated by the music, which sounds like how an Alexander Calder mobile looks (i.e. slowly shifting, always seemingly different). At worst, you’ll be bored at the quiet bits and annoyed at the louder bits.
