How do ex-Rephlex musicians survive?

they lie down and die to sad music, like the elephant man.

lol

lol

autechre: i seem to remember they both have day jobs, or had them at some point.

Plaid: Trying to remember, i think in an interview with plaid they said they do it full time, but it's VERY difficult to scrape by that way and said they didn't recommend it.

Squarepusher: ? No idea. I haven't heard too much from him though recently. Due for a release I reckon. Kind of feel like he might have a job.

Aphex: Gets a lot from touring and record sales. No job.

boards of canada: they have got to have some kind of job... they release almost no music. Unless they are riding off of their album sales still somehow, they were HUGE albums, probably generated a lot of cash. I could see it either way.

ceephax: i would think he's gotta have a job of some sort

clark: dunno

snares: dunno

autechre—never on Rephlex

Plaid—never on Rephlex

Squarepusher—never on Rephlex

Aphex—never on Rephlex

boards of cananda—never on rephelx

clark—dunno

snares—never on rephlax

No, they never released on Rephlax.

You're right, they were not released on Rephlax.

They were released on Rephlex though.

Feed Me Weird Things, Analord series, ABB etc. 

I think you're confusing it with Phlapxe Records, they deffo released 20 albums on that prior to 1972.

ugh you're right ffs. I haven't had my morning coffee yet, head not on straight.

Squarepusher never on Rephlex? Ever hear of Feed Me Weird Things?

EDIT: Ah, somebody already beat me to it, and I *think* that was a joke... nvm

Bochum Welt I think works as a sound engineer type with Thomas Dolby.

The rest signed up to colonize mars with Elon Musk. 

Bogdan seems to be doing stuff lately, he'll post some random gear demos and he did an afterparty at DFN last year or the year before.  He also posted on fb awhile back that he has material ready for shows, and for people to please book him. Alright! was so good, at least his last release was stellar.  But I'd like more, he was always a favorite artist of mine. 

But it's safe to say pretty much everyone has a day job.  I know datach'i, though not on rephlex, has a big career doing sound design for movies. A lot of small labels are run in the owner's free time outside of their 9-5.

Freakwincey is now a Silicon Valley startup CEO with an estimated net worth in the 7 digits

Aphex Twin is a British electronic musician and composer who has a net worth of $12 million

No, they never released on Rephlax.

 

lmao i know i realized that after I posted it, my mind was on a tangent. I guess my point is, if you find it crazy to think about ex-rephlex artists having day jobs, realize even a lot of the "featured" artists here have day jobs or had to have day jobs at some point during even those times they were making some of their bigger records.

Food stamps

pretty obvious, ..innit

I think Bogdan's also involved with indie video game development, he's always posting that stuff on twitter.

 

Yeah I read before that Bogdan does some programming stuff. Plus he's done quite a few remixes for people like Bjork so I'd imagine he's not doing too bad. Wish he would release more music though

bogdan ran, or still does run, a fan website / marketplace for maple story 2.
