My name is James and I am doing a short essay regarding Richard D. James, and what makes him a hero. I am focusing primarily on the fact that by RDJ marketing his music he has in effect given something very special to many many people. I was hoping to get a few quotes to include in my essay for a Highschool Senior English class. So, if you do not mind being quoted in a highschool essay in a small town in California it would be very helpful to me if people could write a few words on how the music of Richard D. James has had a positive influence. This could range from a simple good contented that arises from a single track to a life changing realization of beauty that inspires. It would be helpful to include a name to be referred by, the city and country of residence, but these are optional. Thank you for reading I\'m hoping for as many responses as possible. |

The song Ventolin has kept me from wanting to kill the people around me. It's a place where waves cancel each other out creating a node. Gotta love superpositioning of waves. It's what makes quantum mechanics special. |

I think rdj is more of a motivator cause he shows that you can make music without knowing how to use instruments or even using instruments,also he shows how creativity is the best key in music.What he is positively doing is showing you can musician no matter how much money you got. |

lisening to complex music makes you smart we know that much but what if the music is simple in a complex way what does that do. i think it makes me happier and smarter :) |

i really enjoy the fact that one can still discover sounds amongst all the ones that are already out there. i think his music is what gave me the desire to make my own music and try to push the boundries of what i can create. i think that sounds pretty lame and quotable. |

1/ he has proved that great music can and does follow great drugs. 2/ he has shown that a great artist can develop many diverse styles simultaneously and scceed in them all. 3/ In conclusion, i have found another excuse for believing that recreation is a good path to creation; and that broad minded outlooks lead to a bigger bounty. |

These are all great- a bit of my own In a car moving along a two lane rode in central Tennessee I heard the Richard D. James track IZ-US for the first time. I found it soothing and inspiring and continues to create that effect. Listening to the music of Richard D. James has created the desire to push the limits of my own creativity as well as pursue music myself. Tracks regularly offer comfort and catharsis without a diminishing effect. Any person who can demonstrate beauty in ways not yet explored should, without a doubt, be lauded as a hero. |

AFX's music has affected me positively by letting me sleep a lot during a 24 hour period. I'm not at anyone anymore... I find myself more sleep-deprived and such that when I do encounter music, I get a much bigger vibe from it. |

RDJ has shown me a completely new kind of music. Up until 1997, all I liked was rock, which began to get redundant, but as soon as I saw Come To Daddy on 12 Angry Viewers on Halloween of 1997 (I remember the night distinctly, I was eleven, my friend kenny had a Dilbert mask, and my alien mask kept fogging up. we went from house to house, and that image of the creature from Come To Daddy kept popping up in my mind, and it freaked me out, but I was completely MESMERIZED by the song.) I went out and bought Come To Daddy that Christmas at Tower Records in Phildadelphia, and he turned me on to techno. It was a completely new sound for me, and now I'm 14, and now my tastes have changed and rock and techno balance each other out. Richard D James, thanks. |

RDS's music brouth me to see music different.....i was always dissatisfied about the music of my friends, al these rock groups, and the other friends meant Trance should be the greatest, but I , i found, it was too normally. and fortunately a internet-friend sent me a Aphex Twin track and i was intimidated and likewise fascinates, i searched for month other tracks and a buyed few cd. His music shows me that music can be more as now, a development in the art of music, for our future. |

Oh, one of those damn "hero" papers, huh, I hate those. School is a giant conglomerate of petrified horse shit. Be sure to define hero at the start, then specifically state why aphex twin is one according to your exact definition. Your paper will be unique from the 29 other students papers on the fire fighters at the WTC. "a person looked up to for having done something brave or noble" noble= showing good character or high morals. Nothing he has done has exactly been defined as a hero in it's conventional use, but you can argue in your paper that the words 'good character" and "high morals" are completely subjective, and argue that while some people find it moralistic to go to school and participate in retarded assignments, others find that killing everyone around them is the moral thing to do since it reduces, even if just slightly, the number of specimens referred to as 'earth cancer" by some author (I forget his name). You can only quote my second sentence, heh heh. |

i did a drawing and named it funny little man. there's also a more recent drawing with the name nannou, but i'm not sure if I will not change the title. both drawings are not really influenced by the music, but i did the drawings while listening to the songs and the works have quite the same feel as the music, or what i felt, while listening to it. the subject of the drawings are faces. if you know bruce nauman's 'making a face' or moebius' drawings - i love those things and i guess these artists were also kind of an influence, apart from richard d. james' music. |
