First released1995

Tri Repetae, released in 1995, was recorded at various locations including the band members' own studio setup in Manchester, with Autechre (Sean Booth and Rob Brown) serving as the primary creative force behind production and engineering. The album marked a significant departure from their previous work, featuring increasingly complex generative and algorithmic composition techniques that demonstrated their growing technical sophistication with hardware and software synthesizers. The recording process emphasized experimentation with digital production methods and custom software, reflecting the mid-1990s avant-garde electronic music aesthetic where artists were beginning to explore algorithmic and granular synthesis approaches. The album was released on Warp Records and is considered a landmark in IDM and experimental electronic music, showcasing the duo's meticulous approach to sound design and intricate rhythmic structures. Tri Repetae represented an important moment in electronic music history where computational thinking began to heavily influence compositional methodology in the genre.
