"We R Are Why" is an Autechre 12-inch single released by mail-order and available at some concerts, by Warp Records in 1996. It was written and produced by Rob Brown and Sean Booth. <blockquote>Sean Booth:<br />"we r are why were the first two tracks we did on the ry30<br /> they're both entirely done in the ry30 â with a bit of fx on the diff channels maybe, can't rem"</blockquote>
There is intentionally no speed listed on the release. In an "AAA (Ask Autechre Anything)" on the site WATMM (We Are The Music Makers), Sean Booth stated "our original intention [was] to not write it on the record". The durations above were measured when the vinyl was played at 45 rpm.
