"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... " Interesting to see a different take on that. I pretty much agree with everything here and especially about the poor idea. Interesting read. Thanks Dan for the translation! |

I agree with the poor comment, my friend who has been getting money for his music lately makes shit and has work on a half decent track for years. The fucker is famous now and just farting on Microphones ... |

the english-spanish translation by the interviewers (or whoever did it) is horrible! |

I was wondering about that, yeah... |

"musicians are better when they are poor" mmmm... how does richie fit in it? |

"But the thing about the analogue isn't true: I use sequencers all the time, variety is the spice of lfe, my good friend." hahaha. i agree with the guy on the whole copyright thing too...and the part where he says he makes lots of music just makes me want to find his home studio and lock myself inside for months to listen. |

I like "It flatters much to me." more. |

I really get a kick out of putting words into Polygon Twin's mouth. |

he has said something like this in interviews before: "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." what an odd argument. surely the copying would be the problem of the people copying him, not his. why would he care? why would that stop anyone releasing the music they'd want to release? |

thanks for the interview, phobiazero and thanks for translating it, dog_belch! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i just hope one day we get to hear at least a part of that 'innovative' material. if that happens, he'll either come out as the biggest jerk possible or a music mastermind. |

are you actually from london, ontario? |

|

You can read lots of rdj's words on AH. He is a rich man. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think everything he does release is innovative - look at SAW 1 SAW2 HAB Drukqs and now Analord.. he's always innovated more than anyone in his field. He is a music mastermind already. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he used to be but not anymore imo. i still love his music though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think analord demonstrates his musical ability aptly. no software for a start. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, but it's hardly innovative? it's been done before i think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
by who though? him? its not his latest stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well vibert above all, but he did it before as well. not quite the same but it's hardly innovative. which doesn't mean it's a bad thing. still, i'd really like to see him do something different next. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
me too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is a bit selfish to withhold music b/c your parinoid someone else might copy that style you've created. but statements like that keep the fan boys drooling for more. Do you really think when he released SAWII or analord he thought, wow this is fucking innovative? no, chances are not really. i'd like him to review hours of is music and just put out something completely bizzare and strange...or maybe write innovative music...whatever that really is anyway. |

I don't doubt that people pinch RDJ's ideas, but, as an artist, he has such technical ability and completely his own, unique sound that comes across in whatever style he adopts or creates, he's pretty difficult or, I'd say impossible, to rip off. If there was a rumoured new album coming I don't think you'd have this thing like with the Untilted or Campfire "fakes", with people not knowing if it was him or not, "Is it him? I don't know, OMG he's gone cheesy drum and bass" ... I know there was confusion with that "Analord 10 (live) that was leakaged, but, well, it was Aphex if not actually Analord. What am I saying? Well, obviously it's up to RDJ what he releases or not, it's his music. It'd just be nice to hear it, I wouldn't worry about people copying it. Show them who's the daddy, Rich, again! |
||||||||

i'd rather listen to non inovative musics (but good ones) than inovative music (but shit ones). & btw you'd probably hate afx shots on inovative music |
||||||||
|
|

I'm still trying to figure out how he did SAW 85-92. I'll be ripping off Smojphace some time around 2056. |

Thanks for the translation! That is one of the best AFX interviews ever. Thanks mr belch :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it is good but the best ever ? they are all pretty much the same, for many many years now, people ask him questions about his music and he bull-shits and has his fun with them, i find it quite hallariuos his words and music cd, the parts with the talking are quite good as well richards not trying to make a new audience he knows he already has a fallowing |
||||||||

Well I'm not some kind of fanboy who has read every interview (or intends to), but this one I found to be quite interesting and the bit about shaving was a nice way to end. The questioning was fairly formulaic, but omitted some of the usual stupid question, like what does A symbol mean, etc |
||||||||

good interview indeed :) |

Thnx to Falito for posting this interview..Is a very nice interview, it's definately Rich, just read the answers, jajaja!! He's nice...I like it more because it was an updated interview, no one there has done any recent RDJ interview in 2005 right?? Gracias Falito por esta entrevista, la hiciste tu mismo? Si es cierto, te felicito :) |
||||||||
|

It's good in so much as RDJ actually answering in a coherent non fucked up way I guess. |

well, great interview... richard is a good guy |

nice interview, cheers for the translation. His music has been innovative to a certain extend, it's still based around basic tonality or 'semi-tonality' in the melodies, with drums & stuff and basic song structures. An academic electro acoustic mofo would probably say: simple dancemusic composed on chance. What I mean to say is when you compare his music to academic art music he isn't innovative at all, compared to all the top 40 crap he defenitely is. Personally I don't give a fuck if he calculated his beats with some special thought out algorithm, and can theoretically justify every move he musically makes... if it is good it is good. |
