2005 With the knowledge we have now. Wouldn't that be a treat. I can almost barely feel it sometimes. The old vibe. :'-) |

i remember christmas break 2001. the ibm deskstar hard drives had just emerged from the "deathstar" controversy to "ok you can buy this now" and dad got me something like... was it 30gb? 80gb? don't particularly recall, but for all the "deathstar" drama, the drive never died; that i still might have it. but then i also got my copy of drukqs in the mail from amazon over christmas; remember thinking, "this is quite good, can't wait to see what he does next year" |

why 2005, though? that clearly feeling 2001 in my previous post that 2005 was actually a rather unpleasant year for me so are you chasing 2005 specifically? or just how things were ~then? |

Why are you not AphexTwin05? why couldn't aphex have simply kept going after drukqs? except for perhaps the fainting spells and heart palpitations |

if you asked rdj, "why didn't you keep going after drukqs?! that was a good direction -- can't you just keep going further there?" i half figure the answer -- the real answer, not the cheeky press answer -- would be, "are you fucking kidding me?" to which i would reply: no? but maybe, perhaps, that i am asking for something further should register as some sort of success? |

Is AphexTwin11? or 36? this topic seems genuine and i'm willing to delve into 2005 but i'm not precisely sure why we're stuck there in particular |

that, oh, it'd be a terrible move to literally put out an album "drukqs 2.0" even if you are not teh aphex twins. because, richard or not -- it's kind of funny to think of naming one of my own albums that -- then you have anoraks with a bowling score card comparing everything i more mean: eventually, i acclimated to this; it soaked in. i've caught up. now where are we going next |

2005 was around the time I started discovering the web and search engines and forums and joined XLT. age 16/17. So much was still a mystery then, the touch of female, being downtown, traveling, even music was just barely beginning to emerge beyond top 20 radio and Kazaa results. I think it was something to do with usename available and easy to type and remember. 🤣 A drukqs2 would be fuckin sick! Rdj wa really the fellow to expand electronic sound and genre as far as I am concerned. Great mental power. Today seems so hard to even fathom a push in a new direction. |

i doubt rdj reads xlt. but i am sort of thinking: part of the charm of this place is someone who knows someone might and alright, actually, since i'm mouthing off, i should be clearer just recently, i've my thread where i've delayed going to the ER two days because i want to fucking finish my track before dealing with my broken foot. i've a decent sense of pacing about any chemicals, but certain tracks, i get how you can just drive yourself to the end. that someone on watmm fifteen years ago posted a story of afx going around asking for meth on tour, and, not sure i buy that, but you can see a guy dropping acid a few times a week and then plowing through loads of amphetamines otherwise to realize the vision. or something. that could you perhaps write a book about this album? that maybe this very well nearly killed him consider that a positive review. explanation for why i want more. but also forgiveness if he doesn't feel he can put his body through such again |

I mean, I've seen enough stuff first hand that anything i read or hear anywhere is usually totally fathomable so it could very well be. And I would not be surprised if he saw the forum at least once in his life or had a personal or work friend mention it to him. If my dumbass could find zilty I'm sure he could perhaps know about it. Seems wild to speculate on whether or not our hero in music would or would not care about his zany fan base enough to interact in a secret way somehow cause the man's been pretty zany himself from what I gather 🤪 It's at least fun to think about. If you can do any home remedies to heal your foot more props to you! I might have to visit a clinic soon too if my hip and back doesn't improvel. Nearly 3 weeks now and the pain is still pretty bad. We gotta be careful especially as we age you know it's very easy to get hurt and put ourselves out of the normal routine we are so used to. |

admittedly this is somewhat projection. that i'm getting older, and i've done some lovely music, but who the hell knows about it? on some levels, however, this is almost beside the point. that i've been working on this track, the gear has been on almost a week, and my foot is broken, and i should probably be in bed, but the gear is still on, there's a snowstorm tomorrow, the day after that is sunday, why yes, it makes complete sense to just wait. for what i admit, in the back of my mind, was about what i felt i needed to get a tolerable take. but damn if i could have had another three days the chemicals comment, it's like -- no, we're not addicts, neither of us, but fuck -- i have to finish this shit. and then obsession takes over back in my personal universe, however, like six people will listen to it and it's a gigantic money sink. but still i manage to get into a state over it that's like, a fever dream and so when i say i forgive him: i'd never really thought about it before, but i see this same, like.. desperation... in drukqs. and if going back there might kill you, then don't. i think we'd rather have rdj around instead of 2/3 of drukqs 2.0 |

"you cannot get in trouble for things you did not say" i've first heard this phrase today, and it feels very much for me, but not only does mohamed not want to go to the mountain, but the mountain ain't particularly moved neither |

if i had to count my blessings. that no one gives a shite about me, means i can sample whatever the fuck i want all day long and never see a shred of consequence. rdj probably couldn't even fart on a stevie wonder snare hit sideways but, oh, if i actually had to care about that, i suspect it would tighten things up a little in my approach. math still winds up him being a lucky bastard. then how much money does simon cowell have and how much less does he deserve it, and meanwhile i'd like to be able to afford a house. i'm not naturally synaesthetic... but i've seen movies in my hed to music since i could barely string a sentence together. that this is still probably my best thing; it's gotten to the point where i use animations of tweening shapes to remember beats but then... a few years before bitcoin existed, people were fucking about with CUDA in advance and you had some nascent convolution reverb plugins that used the GPU. about the same time i read about synaesthesia; tried acid. read interviews of RDJ talking about synaesthesia, SAW II, dream composing, all that -- and SAW II, h said this was like being in a powerhouse on acid? mood is more being buried under the blankets on mushrooms in any case, i put it together, and said: if i can learn to be synaesthetic, that will be like using CUDA to run convolution reverb on my GPU: more of my brain on music, and this means better music two weeks later, i was so effective at this that i managed to legitimately walk in to a tree, because i'd tuned my eyes out. then, finals, i didn't have time to learn enough piano pieces, so i said i was playing [some autechre song] as i knew none of the students or parents would fucking know that and then fucked around on the piano for four minutes and everyone clapped politely i'm not a rich famous ginger with a hot wife, but i do still feel like someone |
