오테커(Autechre)션 부스(Sean Booth)롭 브라운(Rob Brown)으로 구성된 영국의 전자음악 듀오로, 기하학적 청각 패턴과 알고리즘적 구성으로 인간 청각의 경계를 실험해왔다. 그들은 격자(Grid)를 해체하는 것을 넘어, 리듬 구조 자체를 생물처럼 진화시키는 방식으로 시간과 청각의 감각을 재편한다.
 
그들은 리듬을 시간의 격자 위에 고정하는 대신, 사건 간 상호작용으로 움직이는 유기적 구조로 재구성한다. 'Draft 7.30'은 이 실험의 결정적 전환점으로, 정밀한 수작업과 생성형 시스템을 결합하여 사운드 내에서 시간과 운동의 새로운 논리를 구현한다.

리듬은 더 이상 반복되는 패턴이 아니라, 접히고 틀어지고 부유하는 시공간의 잔주름이다. 'IV VV IV VV VIII'는 파열된 시간성으로, 'Surripere'는 고요와 난기류의 흐름으로 감각을 교란하며, 'Reniform Puls;'는 붕괴하는 텍스처와 느슨한 반복 위에서 유영한다.

'Draft 7.30'은 격자의 오류와 잔여물을 하나의 질서로 전환시키며, 청취를 넘어 ‘리듬을 거주하는 경험’으로 확장한다.

 

Autechre is a British electronic music duo composed of Sean Booth and Rob Brown. Through geometric auditory patterns and algorithmic composition, they have consistently pushed the boundaries of human hearing. But rather than merely dismantling the grid, they go further—evolving rhythmic structures as if they were living organisms, reshaping our perception of time and sound.

 

Instead of anchoring rhythm to a temporal grid, Autechre reconstructs it as an organic structure driven by the interaction between events. Draft 7.30 marks a critical turning point in this experiment, combining meticulous manual programming with generative systems to create a new logic of time and motion within sound.

 

In this context, rhythm is no longer a repeating pattern, but a residual fold in space and time—folding, twisting, and drifting. 'IV VV IV VV VIII' pulses with fractured temporality; 'Surripere' disorients the senses with flows of stillness and turbulence; and 'Reniform Puls;' floats across collapsing textures and loose repetitions.

 

Draft 7.30 transforms the grid’s errors and residues into a new kind of order, expanding listening beyond perception into an experience—one where rhythm is not just heard, but inhabited.

 

Autechre - Draft 7.30 [2003]

Autechre is a British electronic music duo consisting of Sean Booth and Rob Brown. Known for their geometric sonic patterns and algorithmic compositions, they have consistently pushed the boundaries of human auditory perception. Rather than simply dismantling the grid, they reimagine rhythm itself as a living organism—reshaping our sense of time and hearing.

Instead of anchoring rhythm to a temporal grid, Autechre reconstructs it as an organic structure that moves through the interaction of events. Draft 7.30 marks a decisive turning point in this approach, combining meticulous hand-programming with generative systems to articulate a new logic of time and motion within sound.

In this context, rhythm is no longer a repetitive pattern but a subtle fold in space and time—bending, twisting, and floating. “IV VV IV VV VIII” pulses with fractured temporality; “Surripere” disrupts perception with flows of stillness and turbulence; and “Reniform Puls;” drifts through collapsing textures and loose repetitions.

Draft 7.30 transforms the errors and remnants of the grid into a new kind of order, expanding listening into an immersive experience—one where rhythm is not just heard, but inhabited.
