He is everything i wanted out of aphex twin but rarely got. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the rarely part is just good luck, aphex doesnt know how to make music like richard devine. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wonder if that works the other way around? |
||||||||
|
|

richard devine should be my dad |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
there is aphex and there is richard devine and it's good ! |
||||||||

i spent a good like 12 hours or so chilling with richard devine |

I wait for Cautella to arrive from Sublight. It takes too long... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Isn't he supposed to be like the ''nicest guy in IDM'' or whatever? Was he a cherub? Anyway yeah he rocks, haven't heard Cautella yet but I'm glad I haven't, it's something to look forward to. |
||||||||
|

he's funny you wouldnt believe how much porn he had. on his laptop, on his psp, on his cell phone damn |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
weird. i would say the exact opposite to the original post in this thread. i thought richard devine's stuff was okay, but lacked almost any semblence of melody, whereas aphex's stuff has everything you could want from percussion and melody etc etc |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the tracks with beats on asect:dsect is the kind of stuff i want to hear. nothing like it. the ambient track is fantastic as well. |

no, thats Jega. He's the nicest guy. |

I do not rate Richard Devine comparably to The Aphex Twin. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I wonder if his parents paid for his skatepark too... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
dude richie is getting PAID he's done the sound design for a couple of shoe and car commercials he gets paid some fat cash |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he sounds like a ... uh... err.. uhh.. whaddayacall'em... oh yeah, "sell out." sounds like he's a sell out. car and shoe commercials? pfff.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gotta get paid somehow! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

aphex twin has been on some car ads. sell out doesnt come into it, are you a 13 year old goth girl? i love swishy sound effects to car adverts. they are cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some adverts have really awsome sound design on its kinda the kool place for sound designers and load sof electronica peeps ahve done car adds aphex devine and BoC to name a few |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
was it a toyota ad??? or yokohama or something sounding japanese??? cause i thought it was him when i heard it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hasn't it occurred to you that aphex twin may also be a sellout? :o |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's nothing selling-outty about doing sound design for commercials, especially when you're still cranking out the kind of EyeDeeYem R-Dev does. Take the money and run if you have the opportunity, you'd be foolish not to. It's not like he's sacrificing any artistic credibility or freedom. (obligatory qualifying sentence in case you're kidding, laugh on-line) |

From what I understand, Richard Devine did the sound for the Halo 2 website. Did he do the actual game too? Anyways, he got started with a 25,000 investment from his parents. Read it in an interview somewhere. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He did one of the songs for the halo 2 soundtrack, as well as some ambient sound designing for the game. And for all the nonbelievers, richard devine is the shit. Just because you can't wrap your head around anything more complex than a sped up jungle beat doesn't give you the right to hate on it. |

richard devine vs aphex twin is a fucking joke to discuss richrad devine favourable, aphex twin must not be inserted into the discussion. |

i've given dicky d alot of consideration (i have all his releases) and i really just don't see what's special. he just seems like a guy with a lot of equipment. if you stripped his rhythms of the sounds he used, they'd show the true form of how boring they are. that said, i do think he has a couple stand out tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he's a very nice guy indeed..very modest from my impression. i dig his music quite a bit, although i've learnt to hear music different lately, and devine somehow doesn't quite fit into the first league of my fav artists. he's definitely high up there though! |

richard devine is very cool, down to earth and friendly too.. so, not only does he produce next-level electronics for your brain to decipher, he's also a human being too.. p. |
||||||||

i love the 'human being' thing. yes we know he's not a robot. we can touch him if we wanted |

I still think Lipswitch is the best. Cautella is ok and Asect:Dsect and Alemapper have their moments. Its just that everything post-Lipswitch is more like elaborate techno, than IDM. I said this in another thread: Dare I say, most of this "electronic music" we listen to is geared to the "cerebral." On the otherhand, I think Devine's music is definitely more bodily oriented. Perhaps thats what throw's people off. Who knows? I do find myself getting bored of him sometimes though. That's not because I dont "get" him. To me its just because a lot of his tracks seem like 5-7 minute long intros that never resolve a complete idea. |

this is a funny thread |

i dont see the big deal about his parents giving him 25,000 i say fuking respect to him im not jealous cos lets all be fuking frank here, if your rents offered to give you 25,000 you would NOT say no so good on him and his rich parents i dont think it says anythinga bout his music ive been listening to him for a while and i think hes a stand out artist i dont think u can compare him to the twin though i dont think they are that similar nots aying one is better than the other its just different |

it's a funny electronic music community... they seem to want the electronica artists to spend their time writing scores for tv commercials instead of making albums and doing things that are actually interesting. it would really surprise me if most of the people here haven't also downloaded richard devine's music for nothing rather than buying it so that he'd earn royalties on his albums. because we all have to make a living, so you might as well support the music by wearing the sneakers they endorse, right? just what the world needs is IDM Car Salesmen. |

im sorry but i hate this basement music thesis. the idea that music has to stay underground and if anyone does anything that might make them money... say releasing a series of vinyl singles and charging a shit load for em or releasing an album of remixes cos the balance has gone down. so what if its commercial it doesnt require you to buy into capitalism i like the fact i sit with the telly on and suddenly theres r d or rdj its an expression of how good the msuic is. i hate the beliefe that music is only good or cool as longa s you listen to it alone in you basement and make sure no one who isnt in the scene never hears about it jesus if i had a record deal id do my first album and then id start a idm boyy band and watch you fuckers cry :P hehe |

who said anything about holding artists back? i implied that the opposite was true. i asserted that because artists don't get as much income from their art, they resort to making money by using other means. your understanding of the music industry seems a bit skewed and you have different priorities than many other people. i understand your point, but it's really much different than what i just said. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i get you, i think im just bitter about the basement attidude which i tend to see alot (not neccacerily here). but i dont know i write music but im really into sound design aswell. id love to do it as a side project and maybe some artists see it that way. or maybe they have a short piece they cant find a use for anywhere else and fancy the exposure, i think alot of people take a really cynical view on music for adverts. as to buying the records and supporting them i agree totally but i just odnt think its always about money when people do these things but then maybe im niave or misisng the point again :) |

Downloaded Cautella yesterday. Arc Acid was the only one that stood out. Sigstop was really well done DSP tricks but the drums programming has no funkyness. Why does he always do that four four beat where its like. kick squeak pop boom chikky chikky chock boom. Thats like the only style of rythm he does. Sounds like a guy tripping over shit in Radio Shack. |

whether you think an artist is selling out by letting a company use their music for a commercial or not, or you think they are selling out by doing the sounddesign for a commercial or not - let's not kid ourselves: it's firmly for the money. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Honestly I am glad that some IDM people are trying to make money doing what they love. He hasn't become any more commercial because of it. His music isn't corporate. The ultimate purpose behind art, as I can see it, is it helps a society evolve. |
