Autechre's new EP and video has dropped, and it's 4 kilobytes.

Holy shit, thank you both so much for making this! My favorite from a 4k compo any demoparty would kill for. Very different from everything else and utterly mesmerizing. I'm so gonna riot if this isn't nominated for the most original concept next year!

Amazing 4k - sound track on point and viz sharp as a tack

I dont get it
this is like when you drop a Traction demo down the stairs and somehow it still runs but now looks like a Satori demo! :D

A slightly weak thumbs up. for me it overstays its welcome, and would have been better if somewhat shorter.

Will release an update which locks to 60fps and improves perf a ton. Currently needs a very powerful gpu.

Should've won. Pure art in any way, period.
rulez added on the 2025-04-21 20:59:45 by Kuemmel Kuemmel
What an absolutely stunning work of art. Its intensity, elaborateness, and the way it changes over eight minutes and even introduces new elements is astonishing. Absolutely a masterpiece; my favorite at Revision this year.

Phenomenal 4k intro!
rulez added on the 2025-04-21 23:06:08 by ravity ravity
Should have ranked higher, if you consider the first 4 minutes.
But no, you really really wanted it go to the max time of 8 minutes, destroying the impact it could have had.
Wont go back.
added on the 2025-04-21 23:10:44 by gopher gopher
It's fantastic, it's amazing how it holds up and develops over the entire length. I also like that it doesn't follow any of the typical 4k intro tropes. The 10th part is absurd, but party dynamics are different I guess.
rulez added on the 2025-04-21 23:13:54 by juvi juvi
This is gorgeous.

IMO it really works well even in this length, cause there's enough progression that somehow doesn't feel arbitrary, even though it's so abstract.

Would have deserved a trophy.

First minutes were like "whoa", but then it starts getting gradually more and more tedious and I just wanted it to end.
added on the 2025-04-22 03:31:09 by ccr ccr
Awesome stuff! (would have been twice as awesome if half as long)
rulez added on the 2025-04-22 10:00:28 by hornet hornet
Fantastic track and some very very nice moments. Definitely a bit too long, could have been elevated by curating the best parts and leaving the rest. But the overall vibe is there, I felt the grieving, and that's a great thing.
rulez added on the 2025-04-22 10:55:17 by ferris ferris
i like this.
visually very crispy and noisy, reminds me the work of Ryoji Ikeda but even more avant-garde.
music is awesome, i would really enjoy listening to it again (if only i could run the demo with wine)
rulez added on the 2025-04-22 11:02:06 by dok dok
I don't really get the vibe that almost everybody else seemingly getsz but at least the sound is working well for me and it's a 4k so have a mild thumb here ;) a bit shorter would have been appreciated too xD
rulez added on the 2025-04-22 13:49:24 by HellMood HellMood
Think this is my Rev'25 fave. For managing to convey an almost Moog-ish, and pedal-processed feel in 4k. Whilst keeping everything synced tightly, yet sublimely organic for such an extended period of time.
rulezcdc added on the 2025-04-22 14:11:30 by rp rp
I read the nfo and just deleted the comment I initially wrote.
I did not like the intro at all (for various reasons), but I realise that this is likely the point. => I will thumb it up for working as intended
rulez added on the 2025-04-22 14:54:16 by NR4 NR4
Also, sorry for your loss. I wish you the best. Making an intro while recovering is very respectable and a good strategy IMHO.
added on the 2025-04-22 14:59:01 by NR4 NR4
That was quite a trip !

perfectly threads the needle of being over the top artsy but still enjoyable to watch

looks like software rendering even. which is cool.
deserved to place higher in my book.

Frist 2 min were okayish, the rest sucked big time. I usually don't hump down, but this one feels deserved. Motivates me to hand in some random 4k next year, though.

yes, yes yes! this speaks to me so much. Party favorite without hesitation. Outstanding, forward thinking work!

What? 10th? Justice! It was clear that this would not be everyone's cup of tea, but it was by far the most original of the compo. And the music was super interesting, I am curious what tooling was used to compose it.
rulez added on the 2025-04-23 08:12:17 by pestis pestis
Absolutely amazing work, i love every second of it, my favorite entry from this revision. 10 place feels like nonsense, i think it deserved higher place at least for the sound synth
rulez added on the 2025-04-23 11:32:02 by kostik kostik
Thanks for all the kind words. There really are some parts which got lost during production, will need to eventually release a final version. Made a prerelease version public on my youtube channel, which looks cooler in the end part.

Might do a little writeup on how everything works. The main trick with the audio is that I have separate float envelopetime and float osctime. It's an f(t)->amp audio shader, which means i can rewind/pause/slow down time, while keeping pitch intact. Latter half does granular resynthesis of the first half.

Visuals are between 5 to 50 million points splatted every frame from a compute shader.

It seems others already beat me to it with the Traction jokes, but in my defense I was already making them live during the compo! :P

Overstayed its welcome a fair bit, other than that quite excellent.
rulez added on the 2025-04-23 14:12:38 by break break
Best production at the party, probably the best 4k intro this decade so far, and also quite certainly the best audio in a 4k intro ever. Actually no, in fact, this is one of the best soundtracks to anything to have ever come out of the scene.

Once again, there's something to be said about sincerity and vulnerability in putting out something like this. Something that comes from deep within you, something personal, something about you. Watching this makes me feel wistful, even heartbroken, longing for something, for a piece missing somewhere within. But at the same time there's ambiguity whether filling that void is even worthwhile; a conflict and a friction akin to desire or intimacy itself. It's cautiously violent, but turned inwards, towards the self.

This is not long at all. If anything 8 minutes feels constricting, a limitation only imposed by the conventions and rules of the compo system. I could've sat in a state of sensory deprivation for over an hour, sinking deeper and deeper into this. Not to draw a banal comparison, but this is very close to experiencing an Autechre concert, being stationary for an extended period in a state of minimal external stimuli. Of course at a party you give up your agency to pick and choose the exact details of what when and how to experience something, but for works of artistic sincerity I'm hopeful that most would ultimately feel rewarded for the experience. Some clearly did, while others not so much.

I've for a long time tried to campaign for productions to push the limits of duration, breaking away from being just easily consumable pieces of entertainment generally packaged to around 5 minutes or less. Ultimately I'm relieved at the reception seen here, despite the disappointingly low placement in the final results. I feel optimistic that perhaps finally this new leaf might be turning in our silly little sub-culture.

Maybe I said too much already. The demo itself is the speaking, and that's what we all should be here to appreciate. Thank you for trusting me with the preview version of this. Ultimately seeing it in context was even more satisfactory, however.

Genuine masterpiece.

Really overstayed its welcome in the compo, but it was nice anyways. Maybe having it half as long would not have been such a bad idea?

I really liked this one at first, but it dragged on for way, waaaaaaayyyy, wwwaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too long in the compo so no, I am not surprised that it ended up on the 10th place
