Guest dese manz hatin Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I was at a party once (at Berlins WMF when it was still open) and there happened to be a minimal-techno DJ named Alberto Balsam. (without the 'l' ). AFX nerd that I am, I nearly wet my pants; any similar random aphex appearances?

Seriously tho in response to the thread, I'd say when I met him backstage at Coachella in 2008. I never planned on getting backstage, didn't have a pass. Snuck in under the suggestion of SPD here of watmm (represent) lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9G1sdo8UTY Camera wasn't working for photos properly so I switched to video and handed the camera to SPD while I frantically searched for a marker for him to sign some stuff, didn't ever find one but got a pen and he scribbled on my SAW 85-92 original release on CD, made do with what I could. I'd say it's random tho because even when I got backstage awhile after the show (after meeting up with some other watmm members) never expected to run into him, also I was pretty buzzed on some killer cali marijuana and $8 beers (good thing I had a few before the show, otherwise I would have broke the bank) One of the coolest moments of my life, he only has been in America once since then in the last decade as far as I know and that was in 2002. So I'm greatful I met the man. He also (if you listen close enough in the video) states he was planning on doing a 2 hour set at least since it took him so long to sort his visa out and hadn't been here for awhile, damn Coachella festival for only allowing him an hour set :angry: Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide WaxenPith's signature Hide all signatures "we r controlled by the most boring cunts imaginable" -rdj Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/65187-random-aphex-apearances/#findComment-1554678 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest griever Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 he seems to be such a normal guy, doesn't consider himself a "star", just like one of us, that's what i call coolness. think drinking a beer and having a simple talk with him is all i would do. i bet he's getting tired of the same music-related questions all day long...

Yea, he did seem surprisingly cool. I'm sure just being around american fans can be a little off-putting too. Was funny to see Elijah Wood backstage at the Aphex show too. The music questions get old to him guaranteed. I remember hearing when he used to chat with people WAY long ago online it wouldn't be about music, it'd be about everyday stuff and different situations or partying type stuff. So he seems very down to earth in that aspect. I was just shaking my head when the guy tried dumping the demo cd on him and talking to him about programming and so-on. I didn't hover around really at all, just went up to meet him quick, you don't even see me in the video at all. All I said to him was "much respect" shook his hand and later got the signature quick later on while asking about the headphones (basically cause they were hangin off his backpack) Something tells me tho alot of people on this forum would try to start talking music with him, and if you try to deny it, you are only lying to yourself Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide WaxenPith's signature Hide all signatures "we r controlled by the most boring cunts imaginable" -rdj Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/65187-random-aphex-apearances/#findComment-1554971 Share on other sites More sharing options...
