I wouldn't call it unstructured, just a structure beyond the scope of our understanding

there was some interview i read a few weeks ago and rob was saying that none of their stuff is unstructured and he gets annoyed when people use that to describe them. its just structured on a level thats so complex that its basically impossible to follow, like layering 4 changes that progressively happen to the beat at the same time over a set course of time



so yeah



honestly don't think a lot of these songs would work nearly as well if they were actually unstructured

"It seems that for a lot of people, if they hear something that doesn't sound regular, they assume it's random. If live musicians were playing it, they'd probably call it jazz or something. But the fact that it's coming out of a computer, as they perceive it, somehow seems to make it different. For me it's just messing around with a lot of analogue sequencers and drum machines. It's like saying, 'I want this to go from this beat to that beat over this amount of time, with this curve, which is shaped according to this equation.'

"Or you want all the sounds and the way the rhythm works to change, and you don't quite know how long the transform will take. You can then build a patch to do the transform, and you do it by ear with a fader. We may have one fader that determines how often a snare does a little roll or skip, and another thing that listens and says 'If that snare plays that roll three times, then I'll do this.' We don't use random operators because they're irritating to work with — every time you run the process it sounds different. How we play the system dictates how the system responds."

That is the exact response you'd get from someone who has never been out their bedroom and kissed a girl.
