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

You don't get everything through coherently, but the essence is pretty much there. |

didnt get that much from the interview other than Analord is his word not viberts and that the reason hangable auto bulb is being released on cd is because its not on cd. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, the questions were sort of boring. I was hoping for more juice. Didn't really look like a fanboy interview, though. Just a horribly "standard" one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The variety is the sauce of the life, my good friend! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
interviews are boring mental proyection of ourselves in the mouth of others,famous people,like the aphex twin |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's no rule saying you can't do interesting interviews though :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll keep that in mind :) it's true, and this one is a great example. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course that there are interesting conversations my friend, but you know what iam saying,greets from Granada! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I do not think awesome. |

You spelled fellatio wrong but HI |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"... los artistas hacen mejor música cuando son pobres…" it's an instant quote transLation artists make better music when they are poor |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, if only it was true though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fellatio? whats this? is for me? Hola! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why so many discs of blow? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can someone make sense of this: "In addition, the sound is crujiente than most of the digital compositions, and for that reason they petan more." ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahha! this google translation plugin at least translates "petan" as "they petan." no translation for crujiente. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i'm really enjoying the babelfish translation "electronics of dormitory" "At the beginning of the last decade their discs begin to cause to stupor in the electronic community and rave." "He very little leaves to puncture, he touches still less in direct, he extends himself very little in interviews and their discs do not leave with the same frequency before" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, usually Babelfish sucks. About me I don't know spanish so I can't translate it but if the interview was in italian I would have done it for sure. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the sound is crunchier than in other releases and for this they are more "smashing" when played live VERY FREE TRANSLATION BUT YOU GET THE IDEA |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
crujiente: mmm, is like the sound of when you put potatos in boiling oil, or when you eat cereal (that sound) is like a metaphor on the loudness of vinyls and the cables, that is the shity interpretation. petan: "petan more" is like "rocks more" or "is better than..." |

As a non-native spanish language ... student, here's my attempt at translation. Probably a few turns of phrase not correctly translated. Aphex Twin: The man of a thousand faces. If there's one essential person of modern electronic music, it's Richard D James. And if there's a complicated person, we think of this guy from Cornwall as well who, with a solid trajectory and a great discography, has made history in fields as diverse as ambient, intelligent techno, acid house, drum n bass and bedroom electronica. Everyone considers him a genius, and he is. Shielded by this untouchable status, Richard D James is allowed to do get away with anything. He doesn't go out very often to DJ, very rarely plays live, gives little away in interviews and he doesn't release as many records as before, and in view of this, that he has deigned to answer a few improvised questions with us about his imminent visit to M2 to play live his tracks from Analord is, for us, a great honour. Aphex Twin speaks about Floridal35 and its indoor autumn festival and, although he doesn't speak a great deal, he is very friendly. About Aphex Twin one could write a great deal, so we offer the short version of his story. At the begining of the last decade his records started to cause amazement in the rave and electronic music community. Titles like "Digeridoo", his ambient CDs for lablels like R&S and Warp, 12"s like "Quoth" (Polygon Window) or the first "Analogie Bubblebaths" (AFX) revealed an innate ability for electronic music abundant in ideas and talent. Between techno, ambient and the freakiest sounds possible, his music reached a pinnaclke that still nobody has been able to equal. Many years later and with a handful of master works behind him - among them the compilation "Classics", the 12" "Windowlicker", the album "Selected Ambient Works II" and the singles "Joyrex" released under the "Caustic Window" alias - his latest movement has been a series of eleven 12"s called "Analord" en which, generally speaking, |

he works at revisiting the analogue sound of his early days to combat the saturation of digital sounds of current electronic music and, furthermore, with a more dance friendly rhythm, connected to Acid House, Electro and Techno. This is what he'll be presenting at M2, and for this reason we sent him these questions. Miraculously, he answerd in two hours. A curious and unpredictable guy, a genius. "What was your motivation on starting the Analord series? In those records there's a series of elements that we weren't used to hearing in your last few records as Aphex Twin, from Acid House to more rigid rhythms and breakbeats that aren't over complicated. Did you have a concrete aesthetic for these singles?" - No, I didn't plan anything before starting to make them. But what is true is that the tracks I chose to include in the Analords were those in which I hadn't used a sequencer that had a monitor or screen. "What do you think of the astronomical prices that people are paying for the limited edition binder with Analord 10? On eBay there are people paying more than $300 for it..." - It flatters me greatly. |

Nonono man! Your english is so good! - Thanks! |

"There are cheeky people there that say your intention of publishing a record included in a binder was to have the most expensive item in the history of the second-hand market..." - No, not at all. At Rephlex we made less money with that binder than we do normally with a normal record. Plus it's not released on CD, and today nearly no one buys vinyl. Which reminds us, you've never had a series of so many records published under just one alias, be it Aphex Twin or AFX. There's five "Analogie Bubblebaths", two "Hangable Autobulbs". But the "Analord"s there are eleven. Why so many records in one go? - I was starting to listen to too much digital music around me, and that was starting to damage my ears. I wanted to return to re-adjust the balance a little. "By the way, at the end of this month Warp plans to relaunch a CD of the two "Hangable Autobulb" singles? Why now, exactly?" - Because they've never been available on CD. |

"When you released "Drukqs", one noticed you were quit worried about the fact your music was available on the Internet and was shared illegally by millions of people. What's your opinion now about MP3s? Does it still bother you?" - I've always thought the music should be free and shouldn't have copyright at all, especially art. Grant, my partner at Rephlex, thinks in a completely different manner. But what I think is that if you want to give money to an artist, great, I am sure they'd be happier, but if you don't want to give them money and to listen to their music free, as well that's fine, because the fact that you listen to their music already makes them happy. The copyright is more about making money for businesses than protecting the artist. En any case, the artists make better music when they're poor... "Now it seems that there will return a grand explosion of Acid House and there are lots of records coming out. Is there an explanation for this? - Do you really think Acid House ever went away? No, it never left. |

"Much is said over your relationship with the Warp label, and many rumours have been circulating: that you weren't happy with them, that you're next album would be your last... but you're still here. What can you clear up about all this?" - They're all false rumours, there's never been a problem between me and Warp. Nearly everything I've read on the Internet about me, the same as about other people who I know personally, is completely wrong. It's great when nobody can know you well because they don't ask. By the way, hello everybody. "After so many years innovating electronic music, it seems that people keep hoping you'll suprise them, which for you could be an unneccessary pressure that could affect the end result of your music. What do you do to isolate yourself from the comments?" - When you do something new and fresh, it gets old really quick, because always the same thing happens: people are going to copy you, and that stops me many times from making "innovative" music in that sense. So I try to limit the amount of material that I publish and what I do is accumulate a lot of material just for me. |

"When you compiled the material for "Analord" did you have in mind the DJs? They don't play your music often as it has many time changes and complex breakbeats, but the Analords are easy to play, say volume 3." - Yes, they're much better to mix because it's material a bit more repetitive and not so complicated. Plus, the sound is more full than most digital compositions, and for that they're more pleasing. " 'Analord' comes from analogue, and also is the title of a Luke Vibert track. In principal, the Analord series is made completely from analogue equipment. Do you have a problem with the sequencers and software?" - Well, "Analord" is my word that I once told Luke. We're good friends and many times we use the same words and we both use a load of the same expressions. But the thing about the analogue isn't true: I use sequencers all the time, variety is the spice of lfe, my good friend. "To finish with, do you think you'll shave one day?" - I don't believe so. |

I wish Richard would finally release his innovative music so I could thoroughly copy it. |
