Not simply an Autechre side-project, Gescom is a platform for a number of aligned artists to work in various combinations while remaining otherwise anonymous. Personnel in Gescom has varied from release to release and even track to track. Releases include ‘Minidisc’ which was reportedly the first ever Minidisc-only release. It comprised 45 tracks sliced into 88 portions, encouraging the listener to loop and shuffle at will.
Contributors to the minidisc project were Russell Haswell, Sean Booth and Rob Brown. For its split series incarnation, Rob Brown was joined by SKAM DJ Rob Hall (aka Ad Vanz). Gescom continues to operate and shift its identities.
Early Gescom is probably best described as friends of Booth/Brown with production help by Booth/Brown, aka Autechre. Since then personnel has varied. Quote from the Autechre FAQ: “Actually the whole Gescom crew consists of almost 20 people. Sean Booth calls it an ‘umbrella-project’.”
But there are also a number of releases by Gescom which are purely Booth/Brown.
Gescom is an abbreviation of “Gestalt Communications”
