I like that we keep getting these glimpses into some of his production tools of older stuff. Supercollider, whatever tracker he mentioned, etc.

I'd like to see his philosophy on music making. I remember he said he wanted to mostly talk about his philosophy that in that SUPER LONG interview, then proceeded to literally JUST talk about gear . He mostly talks about gear, which is mostly interchangeable and not particularly interesting... well mostly since I only occasionally use hardware.

 

 

Yes same here, don't use hardware at all so my knowledge is very limited. But I assume it must be so interesting for the people who do!

I did tread the whole Syrobonkers interview, man I only understood like 5% of it :)

Aphex philosophy on music making...

well I remember at one point he said that 'screwing around' was no less valid than any other track, and I THINK he said once that he would make things without thinking about it. He said about Satie he never wasted any notes, so he recognizes economy in composition. In syrobonkers he said his favorite artists didn't consider themselves artists and he said many times don't talk about the thing you are going to do before you do it because it detracts from it's energy [and leaves you open to look like a fool if it doesn't happen]. In a way maybe that's his way to say don't trust what he says about upcoming releases, because he doesn't agree with talking about things before they happen...

I'm pretty sure he was just referring to his ideas when it comes to making music, not really releases or anything. He also mentioned he was paying someone to make a new form of synthesis.

It seems like to me it just pertains to music, as he hasn't told us WHAT he's doing when it comes to new music.

I'm at the point where I rarely ever use Soundcloud at all. I never look for new artists and the only time I ever use it is to f5 on RDJ's soundchunk and to listen to WATMM users trax. Soundcloud GO just killed it officially.

Anyway, p-string sounds FANTASTIC in lossless. I can't wait for more of the dump.

i can't take this, man

the anticipation is too much

I have a uh.. confession to make. I AM indeed AFX.. I'm not Aphex Twin, i'm AFX. yeah but you didn't see that one coming. Two different artist names EQUAL two different artists, use your brains.

It's also time to change my name and change my avatar to a beard. (my name will be "a beard")

Another WATMMer sent me this link a few weeks back. Some guy claiming I'm aphex. How are all these people onto me? I thought I have been covering my tracks. I'm even bothering to type in full sentences! I am indeed a friend of Aphex... I AM AFX!!!!

https://www.reddit.com/r/aphextwin/comments/4inr2l/hello_evoava_is_aphex_or_friend_of_aphex/

Aphex = Ivan Ooze

AFX = Brisbot

Polygon Window = Bradley Strider

Dice Man = Andrew Dice Clay

The Tuss = Steinvord

Power-Pill = Ms. PacMan

Bradley Strider = Roger Waters

Q-Chastic = Q-Tip

its all quite ovcious when you think about it

You're totally right. Except Ivan Ooze is prince. I mean he DID just slap you. You are an attractive woman from the 80s

it is VERY fishlike

I've thought on a few occasions that Brisbot was Richard. But then I think a lot of things, and most of which proves to be total hogwash.

Hogwash I tell thee!

I get several messages a month on SC asking if I'm Aphex. Now several a week since he liked one of my tracks.

I'd say I'm charmed but half of them are only interested in me BEING Aphex it feels like.

im listening to xmas_eve10 and its jjust such an amazing song. the idea that theres something as awe inspiring waiting to be heard. fucccccck. yes.

The Google doc with the playlists on it someone linked on here a while ago is locked behind a permission prompt on Google now, anyone got one I can save to my HD?
