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.
