I went to bed at 630 Pee M
I woke up around midnight and I'm having some mocha hazelnut coffee and two Fanny Mae buckeye chocolates. It's -10 C outside with wind-chill and Surfing On Sine waves is playing at an ambient low volume for background noise while I work on some headphone software music.
Little VST SH101 clone program, some milky FM string pads in the line of hedpyhlem and other saw 85-92 tracks
When I discovered really Aphex Twin music beyond the track that introduced me (Come to Daddy at a pals house at age 16 on their family PC, he said I'd be into it cause I was listening to Apoptygma Berzerk and really simple techno at the time and he noticed my interest in electronic music away from top 20 radio stuff as I was learning about Kazaa and finding artists music online (WOW!)
It was this same time of year at the end of high school when Im joining XLT and being a big nose insensitive trolly d bag prick and I'm discovering all of RDJs music and albums on Kazaa and Soulseek, some top tracks like Drukqs and Hearts Of Space program 365 or sumn, and Kick Ass Violin Solo and discovering the Chris Cunningham works.
My life would never be the same.
I was fucked.
I'm glad I finally shelled out the few dollar bucks on VST software & Midi hardware & bought some Aphex vinyls & some synths
I just can't help but imagine a nostalgic rdj in his winter studios having sweets and going on stoned fuzzy blip journeys
Most of his music is really tied to the holidays for me, tons of stuff on Drukqs for the piano songs of course and tons of Tha and Rhubarb stuff for the crisp frozen starry nights and colorful scapes when the sun's on the edge of our skies coming or going. Polynomial C was also really good when I was 18 or so in the backseat passenger during sunset far out in the countryside watching cows roam and eat as we zoomed past and that familiar term came back into my mind "fleeting" Fingerbib did the same shit to me
Alberto, Eggy Toast, Bummy, Ventolin remixes
Thanks Aphe

Do you ever imagine meeting RDJ and he's just creepily laughing hysterically and grinning and it's just getting more intense and hes repeatedly just asking you if you wanna do it not really determining what "it" is, it's just that it's something good that you wanna do and it gets more manic and acidy and hysterical as he's like getting you so hyped up on whatever's about to happen cause he really likes to fuck with you
I imagined this at work one night and I knew something was up cause it was too right in my mind

aphex tonight
I got lazy really in modulating the sh101 reverbed pattern looping, but I played with the cut/env filter on the pad. And also at 2:17? When the quiet vocal sample starts I fucked up and it's just a loud poorly attacked intro these are amateur musics it's okay
Without googling it, can you tell me what is fapdom ? I'm putting the word together in my mind and not sure if I'm understanding it correctly.

kind of strange to me, to think of putting on background music, while working on music. i feel like it'd just pull me out of it
but i guess, if it's really low, kind of subliminal... interesting idea
aphex spoke of, "i get into listening to music moods, and making music moods" and that's fair. then he goes on to say, "if i listen to music while making music i wind up stealing stuff"
but isn't it all stolen, to some degree? that it's made up of all the other music we've heard, mostly, with a few ideas of our own
anyways, i kind of took that as advice for a good bit; tried to keep some distance. i succeeded to the point where i did this track and was kind of surprised to have people say "oh lol it's like the aphex track"
that i had not heard humanoid intruder for, like, hmmm... 12 years before i recorded this? that i had to go back and play it again before saying: whoaaaa i see what you mean
so it's no use. it's all stolen. even 12 years later. and maybe just put it on real low like fertilizer?
i still think it'd just distract me. but good thot

have you ever tried to do a "phone doodle" of a song? like, as one would just absentmindedly draw on a napkin while talking on the phone. just a quick little sketch
