How do you pronounce "Autechre"?

[R.J. Dymond]

When I'm trying to bore people by telling them who my favourite techno musicians
are, I often pause before saying "Autechre" because I can never make up my mind how
to pronounce it. It usually comes out something like /aw-teck/, but I'd really like
to know how Autechre themselves would pronounce it. Does anyone know? I can think
of quite a few alternative pronunciations. There's /aw-tecker/, for example, or
/aw-teckruh/, or, if you want to be really poncy, /o-tayshr/. I, however, will
continue saying /aw-teck/ until someone tells me how it really ought to be
pronounced.

I always go for /aw-tecker/ (emphasis on the aw). I thought "aut" like
in automatic and "echre" like in ochre.

BTW Its not in any dictionary I've found :)

It's pronounced /aw-taykruh/. Mixmag once described them as Orteca; obviously
where someone had heard the name over the phone and written it as it sounded.
However, they missed the 'chre' on the end of the word.
