Aphex Twin Aphex twin's studio

About a year ago, I was exploring sites such as richdjames.com, aphextwin.com etc etc..

Now, one day I went to richarddjames.com and low and behold, there was he, in (I think, his) studio working.

I didn't save the picture, I fucking wish I had, but does anyone have it?..

It was this fairly small studio, cramped, with lots of stuff contained in it.

Edit,

I also took a look at the source code and he left a funny secret message too, I forgot that also.

when did you see this picture?

looks more like the replex office or something (demo CDs in the background?)

 

EDIT:

 

ok i can't link to that image for some reason... here:

looks quite old - check the old imac monitor and that vaio sure aint anything like a recent model (3-4+ yrs old reckon).

its from the Trance Express Europe 3 CD booklet

and its a live performance not his studio, or was it ever on a rdj website..

but the picture which is up a few replys was on rdj.com before analord came out

and the funy source code said "mashed potatoes" which a picture of all all his roland gear and a joystick..

no to mention he had a fred mcgriff gif of the bank of cornwall up justbefore the analord came out..

what's the box with the exposed circuit board and the knobs in a row, just to the right of the akai/sample trigger?

rdj posted a mcgriff gif?

I think I know the picture the first guy was talking about. It looked kinda like it was just a background, and it was kinda dark or something... not just a fan shot either, cause it looked kinda well thought out. Maybe him quietly performing live. I dunno. But it looked fairly recent.

dunno but the akai is actually a roland, a R-8.

possibilites i see are:

1) Board (or lack of cover) is decoration. It does look nice that way!

2) Board is part of the electronics driving the knobs, and it is exposed so he can touch the contacts with his fingers. When you circuit bend stuff, you spend lots of time poking things with your fingers, because often circuits will respond to their capacitence. So, this'd let him get circuit bent noises out of whatever it is.

3) He is using the board for the contact point thing I described, but it's just a dud scavenged board with some wires soldered underneath (and holes drilled for knobs), and what he's contacting is elsewhere...

if the knobs there are an original part of the board, i'd vote 1 or 2. if not, i'd vote 1 or 3.

The stuff you can SEE in that pic is pretty boring. But the multicoloured knobs on a light-coloured board poking out from behind him look VERY EMS

i agree, i noticed that too :)

i've heard rumors he has a synthi 100!

yeah i saw that too.

the same one Jack Dangers has?

no, i'd wager its a different synthi 100. unless they share a studio that exists in a dimsionless portal in between california and europe.

the thing with the knobs and circuit-tree exposed has midi leads coming from it x2

what i need to know is that a devil-fish modded casio wrist watch?

fuck that, man, i used to have one with lots of buttons and shit.

and, gear i've circuit bent has, on occasion, still handled midi ok.

also, that doesn't exclude the other options i suggested, really.
