 Five questions with Aphex Twin
  The story, I was at a pub drinking with my pals before  watching Aphex Twin live and the man himself was there, I  didn't believe it, I had my portable walkman with me and got  to ask some questions but when I got home there was  university entrance and other problems... I lost the tape...  to be completely honest I cried... recently the tape was  found by my mother, god I was going to start a fanzine but  instead I will share it with you, my moment with Aphex Twin!  It's transcribed from tape, so one or two words could be  misunderstood.
 
  Have you got any kind of guiding philosophy for making  music?
 
  1. I just think it's really lush to have two kind of sides  to things. I've got my electronic music side where I'm  programming DSP algorithms and building circuits, messing  about with tape decks and old reverb tanks. On the other  hand I'll just chill out with my mates and toke on a fat  biffa of a spliff. Sorted on all fronts really.
 
  You're really cold about your approach?
  2. Nahh, no way, I'm just well into melody really, having a  beautiful tune go on. It's wicked. It's got to have some  feelings going on. This sounds a bit twonky but it's got to  appeal to your heart.
 
  Why do you sell your music to advertising companies?
  3. Money. It makes the world go around. I've done really  well, so I've got no complaints about anything really. 
 
  What have you got planned for the future?
  4. I might chuck out an album on Warp but I'll have to think  about that. There's too many lush things to be doing right  now and I really can't be fucked doing any more promotions  basically. Musically I've been doing some hip hop tracks on  my piano with my girlfriend, nothing serious, just for a  laugh. You'll never hear it.
 
  What was it like working with Chris Cunningham?
  5. He's a top bloke to be honest. His video fucking scared  the shit out of me. But I was well into it, I've still got  the masks. My evil side. Basically I like things black and  white, the two sides of things, pre

lush, i thought Luke Vibert was getting a buck everytime he  said that word.  He wore it out for me.  It must have been  cool to meet RDJ though.  Wish you asked some more questions  though.
