The twitter-speak reaction “sending me” is annoying and spineless. Are you laughing? Jeering? Excited? Bummed? Be honest with yourself and everyone

I assume it means you're laughing

But it sounds like that might send you so

Wrong. This is what AI says

“Sending me” is a slang phrase that describes a situation where someone or something causes a strong emotional reaction in the speaker. It can be used to express a range of emotions, including excitement, joy, amusement, annoyance, or frustration. For example, someone might say “You're sending me” after hearing a funny joke to express how much they enjoyed it, or they might say it to express frustration if someone is being annoying.

Creative echoes and extrapolations from the tape era can be found in the music of Autechre (to whom tape was “probably the best format that was ever made”). Moments of world-overlap manifest hallucinatory voices in tracks like “IO” and “Ipacial Section” (starting around 7:35). Fog of war is further abstracted in tracks like “TMB2”—which centers around a plodding electric body reminiscent of those engineered in the mid 80s. The simplicity of the core design is deceptive, however. Closer inspection reveals the structure to be haunted by an ecology of irregularities: mercurial distortion-currents dance, subtle morphologies accumulate in the machine loop, and ghostly vocalizations are somehow audible amidst its heavy impacts. It might not be accurate to read the track title as “tomb”, but the association fits, given the track's unearthly near-stillness. The dense atmosphere conditions hinted at by Selected Ambient Works are also found in a more sophisticated form in tracks like “bladelores”, in which a storm gradually gives way to a fractal rainbow glow of resonance so miraculously animated that it sounds different each time you hear it. (A much longer stay in the same storyworld would later be granted with “All End”.) Even more tempestuous, “freulaeux” is at its core an acid track, morphing unstably between riffs like Jaquarius’ “Love Is Happiness (Acid Rain)”. But around this core driving force swirl weather conditions far denser than the thunder claps of “Acid Rain”. The electric body itself seems affected by these outside conditions. Its motion is reminiscent of the skipping of a faulty tape, but the effect is utterly diegetic: a feeling of forward motion jostled by turbulence.

someone on watmm also pointed out that "freulaeux" is probably an ae-ified take on "franz reuleaux"
Franz Reuleaux (French: [ʁœlo]; German: [ʁøˈloː]; 30 September 1829 – 20 August 1905) was a German mechanical engineer and a lecturer at Technische Hochschule Berlin (today Technische Universität Berlin), later appointed as the president of the academy. He was often called the father of kinematics.
Kinematics is a subfield of physics and mathematics, developed in classical mechanics, that describes the motion of points, bodies (objects), and systems of bodies (groups of objects) without considering the forces that cause them to move.
Reuleaux believed that machines could be abstracted into chains of elementary links called kinematic pairs. Constraints on the machine are described by constraints on each kinematic pair, and the sequence of movements of pairs produces a kinematic chain.

plexitmind, formerly the one supporter of my lengthy autechre posts, has now switched sides. devastated.

hard to know what to do with this topic. obviously trying to have an actual conversation is out of the question. on the other hand, letting the the lads whatsapp mafia shut it down is also out of the question. guess there's no choice but to keep posting.

i used to be able to re-find this track by googling "number of islands in japan" - but then the number of islands changed, so now i just have to remember the title like it's my pin number

but sounds like the autechre has an sometimes has a different second bar of that rhythm where there are two kicks and different placement of the open hat
