Rochdale, United Kingdom (1987 – present)
Autechre is an English electronic music group consisting of Rob Brown and Sean Booth, both natives of Rochdale (near Manchester, England). The group is one of the most prominent acts signed with Warp Records, a label known for its pioneering electronic artists.
Booth and Brown formed the group in 1987 while they were both living in Rochdale. They began by making and trading electro and hip-hop mixtapes, but gradually collected some cheap equipment (most notably a Casio SK-1 Sampler) and moved on to their own compositions. By the time Warp Records released their debut, Incunabula, they were employing a variety of electronic instruments to create their evolving style.
Booth and Brown have explained that the name Autechre can be pronounced in any way anyone sees fit. They pronounce it “aw-TEK-er” (IPA) /ɔ ˈtɛk ɚ/.
Autechre helped initiate the music festival All Tomorrow’s Parties in 2000, and were responsible for curating the 2003 festival.
Autechre utilize a wide array of analog synths in their production as well as analog and digital drum machines and samplers. They have also made extensive use of a variety of computer based sequencers, softsynths, and other applications, such as Max/MSP.

Quadrange is disappointing. It's just a boring mashup of Quaristice sounds. I definitely preferred Versions over Quadrange.

The mega-structures of the megalopolis of Tarmacia loom above the congestion of the 500 lane mega-highway. A canyon of concrete, steel and glass. The towering mile high buildings of Tarmacia grossly exhibit the total global dominance of the Tarmacians and their built environment. Woofit is asleep in the rear seat of a taxi heading for his hotel. Woofit dreams of the death of the last insect on Tarmac. A butterfly searching for a habitat that no longer exists. Dogs dream too don’t you know.

Woofit descended through the thick poisonous cocktail of global dimming airborne contaminants that envelop planet Tarmac. Neon lights illuminating the entire land mass of the planet, an endless homogeneous grid of roads and buildings. Tributaries of the 500 lane mega-highways. A testament to progressive Tarmacian expansionism. Woofit sits back and contemplates the grand march of Tarmacia. Oh Woofit you are a silly dog.
