Yes. I couldn't get through it.

Never thought I'd ever get to read an RDJ interview this detailed, and this is just part one, fuckin ell.

Pretty cool though. Love the studio/installation shots! Took a fucking eternity to read on my phone though, had to take a break at one point.

Also, interesting how the video clips have been uploaded on the official Warp account as unlisted. I'm guessing/hoping they're in posession of a load of footage from the installation, and are saving it up for a banging documentary.

hey, I didn't get that far in this interview but there are big chances that it's related to this imminent mysterious announcement Joyrex is supposed to make isn't it?

Okey, my boss has blocked that Blogspot-page.. Can somebody please re-upload the interview on another way? thx

That would be lovely, but I don't think any of the clues he gave were relating to anything of that nature. But hey, could totally be looking at it from the wrong angle. The only realistic thing I can think of that'd be 'better than new music', would be a full-on RDJ/installation doc.

great stuff

"tighter than a gnats vaj"

wow this interview is so deep, good that I'm reading English kind of slowly it will just make it last longer!

that avril 14th alternate take is really something, you guys

crazy

amazing. just finished reading (part 1) and really, really enjoyed. good fun insight into favourite artist. the music tidbits are great too (the ones linked in interview are downloadable (higher quality than soundcloud streaming bitrate)). others are not downloadble (ie. that avril14 being played reversed recording) but ahh best not to complain this is fucking great :):)

have been waiting to hear proper quality avril14 remix piano track + pendulum mic track for good long while (+ of course, the swinging piano track that eventually became aisatsana on syro).

so nice to finally have the source quality live recordings from the night of the 2 tracks + aisatsana :):)

Definitely! High quality recordings of those two is such a treat :) I didn't even notice the info with the download until now: 'recorded live at the barbican with a midas heritage 3000 mixer, various makes of mics x14, 14 wedge'

lol at the info on his sons tracks:

genre: afx jr

comment: my dad is aphex

fucking great to hear stuff like window peeper

i've always found it so cool that the vast majority of his early-mid 90s stuff was devoid of classic/cliche breaks/samples, so its cool to get a look behind the scenes kinda and see that yes indeed afx did at one point loop classic breaks for minutes on end ha

the lofi crunchy quality to the drums reminds me a LOT of paradox tunes

awesome interview thanks noyzelab

thanks dave and rich for this epic interview.

holy syrobonkus

Fantastic read, mad all this stuff's coming out now after years and years of over-analysing every little thing. Can't wait for part 2!

wicked

"I like totally have a bunch of awesome stuff lying about but I get sidetracked by other awesome stuff and forget about it..."

Sure you do, Rich...sure you do.

You can tell the interviewer is an engineer cause the interview looks and reads like shit, goddamn. I'm surprised he bothered to bold the questions so you can tell them from the answers
