According to that interview posted earlier, the Ryan Wyers kid who did the video has autism. And RDJ has aspergers to some extent (right?) so maybe he sort of felt fellowship with the kid and it influenced him into letting him do the video more. Just a random thought

RDJ said he was 'probably a little bit autistic'.

autists unite I guess

 

Really happy for Ryan, especially if he did meet the man himself

 

I think he just honestly liked the videos and thought it would be clever marketing – and it really is.

Still don't see the Analord comparisons. In terms of production, sure. In terms of atmosphere? No. The Analord tracks are mostly sinister masterpieces in my book (with obvious exceptions like I'm Self Employed). CIRKLON3 would be a much better fit on Syro than on any Analord 12".

Also there have been many "resets" in his career soundwise. He just likes to take different approaches.

Love the video but pretty dissapointed by the track. It's just so completely average. As an old unreleased track in the sc dump, that's cool, but as the single for a new ep?!

 

Maybe this is where i'm going wrong, but i view aphex as one of the musicians at the forefront of electronic music because he puts out stuff that makes you think "This is aphex twin and it could only be him". The stuff is to such a standard that you know that it couldn't be anyone else. But with this, i could totally imagine just stumbling across it while browsing bandcamp or something. I get what some of you guys are saying about how if it's a good tune you should just enjoy it regardless, but is it wrong to hold someone of rdj's caliber to higher standards? I dunno just thinking out loud.

 

Still looking forward to the ep though.

hey guys does richard have a wife and kids?! It's really important that I know this!

Also where is he on the spectrum?

Richard is my husband and father.

if he's such an autist why doesn't he shitpost with us

i'm not sure what you're saying. do you or don't you like i'm self employed?

^ Very, very interesting. Sounds like he's gonna have some of his gear set up there, running through one of the Cheetah tracks.

yes, sure I do! It's just not as sinister as most tracks on the Analord series (and only therefor an exception; it's a great track!). My point is that the atmosphere on those records is much more a trademark to me than the hardware noodling because Syro is that as well... CIRKLON3 has, at least in my ears, nothing to do with Analord, a completly different state of mind was behind this

shitposting in a shitposting thread with that spanish guy

What's the excuse for your other posts ?

i felt stress because i knew the mcbpete was judging me

lol

Man, how odd. I looked up this kid's videos yesterday, because I wanted to watch them again.

 

His lichen video is stunning.

 

 

Apparently I've tapped into the collective unconscious aphex twin vibes. I got the message yesterday.

Oddly touching this one, actually made me tear up a bit

 

Damn... right in the feels...

Did not gave attention to that track in a long time now, it means so much to me by the way.

alright, so is it confirmed that richard has a wife and children? the last thing i heard about that issue was from the syrobonkers interviews, which haven't been very credible/consistent iirc.. why do we now seem to know that hes got family? :p i must have missed something somehow...

Yes, wife and two kids - it will be interesting to see what affect married life, fatherhood has on his music in terms of themes and output.

What got me in the door was Come To Daddy (I was 15) but once I heard SAW1-2, that is when the full on obsession began. I do feel there is a certain "lushness", missing from his newest stuff though. The actual sound is a bit dry in comparison (maybe what I'm hearing is just "good production" I don't know).. But those reverberating walls of the bank or what have you gave something to those incredible melodies back in the day..

This is exactly my feeling (and was actually the same introduction to him) - there seems to be almost an entire eschewing (is that the word) of reverb in is tracks from the past decade, I wonder what the decision for that is ?

 

I think like any artist, when you use an effect or technique constantly, you get bored of it and look for other ways to express yourself - he probably just got bored with reverbing everything, and decided a more tighter sound was the direction he wanted to go in.

 

One of my biggest complaints about electronic music in general is the lack of stereo separation - for some reason, more traditional music (pop, etc.) has nice separation, with sounds coming from distinct parts of the soundspace - with electronic music, it seems very flat and not dimensional. Of course, there are some standouts, but the vast majority of it is really 2-dimensional (to my ears, anyway). FWIW I don't listen with headphones very often; usually in the car or on computer speakers.

 

this may have something to do with electronic music still being mastered for vinyl, for which stereo effects, esp at low end, are problematic. also, i've always wondered if electronic music would do better with space if you just mic'd everything rather than direct lines. i've tried to do this- like play each element out of an appropriate amp- and record from the mic, but i'm jsut not set up to do this all the time.

Aren't vinyl and digital mastering usually different for the same release?

yes, though I guess maybe less so for smaller labels and aritists.

How much smaller though?

That's so sweet, I'm glad that he's getting the fan fare that he deserves.
