Finally been able to listen to the track. Really nice melodies in that one. Wonder why this is being pushed by Warp though... Did this also happen with the Syrobonkers interview? Can't remember.

 

must make some time to get through the interview even though i probably won't understand anything of it.

Really heavy trains must start slowly before leaving the station and building up speed...

Isn't there anything you can tell us Joyrex without being cryptic? You must know something

Most likely an unpopular opinion, but korg funk 5 is potentially my favourite RDJ tune since Syro*

 

That main synth hook is proper addictive. Big love for when it harmonises with itself half way through the track.

*excluding soundcloud gems

 

jesus fucking christ, you gotta be kidding

 

Maybe a little bit lol

Oberheim, Umil, Ld Spectrum and Field Day A1 are my favourite post-Syro jams... but I honestly think this one is right up there with them.

Marchromt ffs.

I lump that in with Syro

it's funny cause he's just mucking about on it yet it's still an absolute face melter lol and because of the name people are gonna group it with Fenix Funk 5, which is a vastly superior track that he actually labored over lol

 

Yeah, it's pretty friggin cool. Not as cool as watching Devin Townsend demo some gear alongside Sandor Clegane and give birth to an entirely new sub genre of music however.

the fuck you on about

And for quoting me, sheathe how dare you not include my post in ur comment-stream. Fixt it for u tho

I wonder whats the book he mentioned  in the beginning

Through this thread and the Sonic Lab video I managed to find this, which is possibly one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard done with microtonal/polychromatic systems..

fuck everything about playing a controller like that though, I can barely cope with 12 notes to an octave, let alone 106 :O

I have honestly lost the aphex hype since he did the soundclound dump.. am I alone on this? maybe my ears are tired of his sound iunno

I haven't.

There's more on this guy's channel:

Speaking of RDJ, orphaned seleks are also pretty microtuned, hence the "melting bees" effect we talked about like two years ago. Simple slamming is my fav, especially the outro.

I can only wonder what this train will sound like once it hits full speed. Every clue hints to a totally new sound from the old Richard!

It's looking quite likely that Reddit post about how many things he's going to release (and his previous statements) are going to bear fruit...

:)

SAW III, MFM, and Badger confirmed by Joyrex

omg konklaver 2017 fappening so hyped

what reddit post

It's a good track but the sameness of these Cirklon tracks is really dreadful. He needs to change sequencer and go back to making lush tracks that don't sound cookie-cutter.

Honestly don't get the hype with the new track, a dull syro outtake for all I care. That ESQ demo was quite delicious though. Microtuning is good for discovering alternative intervals but compositions that utilize too many tones are insufferably wanky... kind of like that interview.

Damn ya'll jaded motherfuckers. Compositionally it reminds me of something off MfM with all the melodies playing off each other, especially 1:24 when that muffled line enters and the original riff returns doubled at 1:52. Just a fun romp. Feels good man.

I highly recommend Charles Ives "3 quarter Tone Pieces" along with his other work...

that's a funky track. nice interview too. liked the discussion of tuning and different apps and general gear hound chatter which comes along w/the aphex interviews.
