About "Characi (Jim O'Rourke 6 Seconds Over Sheffield Mix)" by Autechre
Jim O'Rourke's six-second mix is a haiku of Autechre's 'Characi'—a fleeting burst of glitched rhythm and metallic shimmer. It's over before it begins, leaving only a ghost of a beat and the sense of a world glimpsed through a closing door. Minimalism as maximal tension.
