Title: Aural Braque
Product review: Actually, my grandmother overheard me tell a friend that "Confield" sounds like aural Braque. She fundamentally misunderstood and supposed that I was "talking dirty". Anyway, it doesn't matter. She's in prison now with her Neil Sedaka albums.But I will say that there was mileage in my inter-artistic analogy. I saw a Braque exhibition at the Tate Gallery in London several years ago and Autechre's post "LP5" material certainly resonates with the painter's strain of analytical abstraction.Or perhaps not, eh? Frankly, I haven't listened to "LP5" since my grandmother threw it on a bonfire back in '99.Incidentally, a mate told me recently that "Confield" captures the "essence of Sheffield". What an attractive idea! A city associated with bleak industrialism being reprocessed and redefined through the contemporary musical avant-garde!So I drove down there and stood around for a bit.He was talking nonsense.
