I finally made the effort to make an entire albumm out of come to daddy (tracks 2-7) and a seperate album for rdj album (tracks 1-5) and windowlicker (track2) all an octave lower ie. half speed. This is awesome!! Aphex's material is the perfect stuff to do this to because of all the subtle detail that is difficult to comprehend at the fast pace. It's finally almost understandable at this speed. Beucaphalis (spelling) bouncing ball sounds very wicked. Just download the free program audacity and some cd ripper... It sounds better if you change the speed and pitch together as you'd normally do, rather than do that audio trick of changing the speed and not the pitch. These are going to be my most listened to albums for awhile. |

I'm really wondering what's going on in your head Ian(if I may call you that)!!! |

hmm.. I don't think drukqs would be as good because there aren't as many tricky subtle tricks that go by too fast to understand. Well, maybe it's great to enjoy at that speed, but it won't help all that much in understanding it further because information isn't packed so microscopically. At the lower octave level in come2daddy his tracks still sound eerie... they're still magnificant tracks.. ie. speed is helpful but not a necessary ingredient for their interesting aural quality. (squarepusher at 1/2 speed wouldn't be as good since speed is his dominant tool).. Come to daddy has so many off tangent weird parts. "funny little man" has such an awesome super weird "melody" but you can finally understand and distinguish the individual units making it up at this speed. Aphex's material is something that needs to be studied (for me). The best way I can see to make something this good is to simply create at the lower octave where you can think at the speed of the tempo, then later speed it up. But certain frequencies like bass drums are hard to listen to properly, maybe you just need to train yourself. But still there are plenty of weird analogue things he does at this speed that baffle me, some weird software use or something. |

I used to experiment with my music when I still used the Sonique mp3 player on my computer, as it had a 'pitch' setting. Now I can just slow it down a little bit with my turn table, but come to daddy is still a great one to do it with. |

I've said this before. I'm convinced he wrote/programmed drukqs at half speed. It makes sense at that speed. Some of the details come out a lot more clearly. |

btw I'm also convinced Come to Daddy was done (or can be done) on Reason alone. Not to say that it isn't a brilliant release... |

Try double speed also. That won't help you make out details, obviously, but it does sound nice in an interesting way, especially Flim (IMO). |

reason alone? hmm.. I havn't tried reason, but some parts sound like they definately use some weird tricky unconventional software. ex.. track 5 in come2daddy, one part the "lyrics" get super warped nearish to the end. |

"hmm.. I don't think drukqs would be as good because there aren't as many tricky subtle tricks that go by too fast to understand" Are you MAD, MAN!?!!?!? DrukQs has more detalistic notes than you could possible imagine. I'm doing this with the premier high qual limited vinyl too, so no loss in quality :) DrukQs, slowed down is quite brilliant. When you hear each individual bank, it really comes together |

I forgot to do that. Doh! |

Feed a voice .rex sample into Malstroem in Reason and you can get some very similar effects. You can get a spoken sample to sound whispered using the am filter (eg. 'watching the water flow past in the canal')... I remember he said he used Recycle around that time as well. Still sounds amazing. |

maybe I should try reason... last time I tried it I couldn't understand or make it work, no that was buzz actually. |

Reason can make you lazy... I definately need a break from it but it is quite a neat layout. I want to get my head around reaktor without breaking my speakers! |

"I'm also convinced Come to Daddy was done (or can be done) on Reason alone." Well, Reason wasn´t even made when "Come to daddy" was releaesed! :D |
