AE_2022– (initially known as AE_LIVE 2022–) is a compilation of live recordings by British electronic music duo Autechre. While initially released on 10 August 2023 through Warp Records, a set of brand new recordings were added in November 2024. Currently, it consists of 19 soundboard recordings made during their live tours in 2022–2024.
Background
The first batch of seven recordings was released on 10 August 2023 under the title AE_LIVE 2022–, consisting of shows recorded in Europe during 2022.[1] The second batch of twelve recordings was released on 4 November 2024, now retitled AE_2022–, consisting of shows recorded in Australia and Europe during 2023 and in Europe during 2024.[2][3][4]
In an interview with Metal, Rob Brown referred to the title as 2022 dash, indicating that the release was open-ended.[5] In the same interview, both Brown and Sean Booth state that they're no longer interested in releasing albums, and will focus on releasing live sets online.[5]
"I'm honestly not that interested in records anymore. The concept of what a studio album is seems outdated. For instance, if I create a track on my laptop while on a train, does that qualify as a studio album? No one would know it was made there. If I use my laptop on stage, does that still count as a studio record? It’s different because there’s an audience. But if I’m in the studio with friends while making a hip-hop album, is that an audience too? These terms become confusing."
