he probably knows people want to know and doesn't answer on purpose you know. i would do that too..99% of people who want to read about his gear probably couldn't come up with decent 1 minute of music even if he let them use his studio. because instead of gettinf the idea of music they would probably get off to twiddling knobs.

"they would probably get off to twiddling knobs." oh yes, but there's no escape from that - if you like synths, there is going to be a lot of knobtwiddling around... :D (as long as you don't release it as "music" - knobtwiddling is like guitar solos, interesting for some and completely uninteresting for the nonsynthnerds...)

anyone can buy a synth and do that, we don't need aphex to talk about it in interviews though :) this is quite a nice cliche about idm fans infact..

He should continue doing interviews as he always has... With a sense of humour and an aversion to answering correctly.
I like the sense of humour, I like the "mystery", and if this is how he wants to portray himself in the media, good for him. I like the name drops of earlier electronic composers, if I didn't know who they were I'd search them out... I like the fake/real claims of dreaming his melodies or riding an armoured car.
Some people "need" a list of his entire studio and his favourite presets/VSTs/FXs/etc...
This would be nice but I have the feeling that unless he would donate it to my cause, there is no chance he would ever do it

Maybe people wouldn't be as interested if he did speak candidly about his process. Which tells me he enjoys the attention. I don't think caring about that stuff makes you a nerd that can't hum a melody. Richard has to have some nerd in him to wrap his head around his gear.

you can take the action of make tracks as a work or as a hobbie-no matter if you get money or not.
if you put your energies on this work and then money comes is allright-but if a jounalist/fans comes and starts to fuck..then...

Definitely it is true that caring about his gear makes you a nerd... But also, he is a nerd too. Even if he didn't make his own gear, or program his own softsynths, he's definitely a kind of nerd to have gotten this far with electronic musicks and gear and warez.
I appreciate his lies/myths, because I enjoyed many a conversation with my friends when we used to get excited about his evilness/drug habit/dropping things on the head of Ministry of Sound patrons.

I agree with you, but I hope that next interview he tries to cloud the issue and includes just enough facts/information to make it plausable.

Tead the whole thing yestarday. I personally found it very interesting, I liked a few of questions... The one regarding his studio, his thousands unreleased tracks, what his thinks about music made on laptops ecc. I didn't know he used to build his own gears, that one really amazed me.

Chances are he really didn't make his own gear... but who knows? I'm sure he could design it, but actually build it himself?
If he did build it himself, I want him to post right now and say something like:
Full built it, it was lush, cunts you make me laugh.

im sure he would know how to rewire a few things to make it sound different..when he says someone from roland or yamaha to contact him in order to build a super synth is half true i reckon. with his ideas and rolands' staff they could perhaps come up with something interesting.
as for building his own stuff..is it really that hard to make a few adjustments to your gear..everyone could do it probably..just depends what the sound of it would be like. im sure he has ruined some synths doing that, but im also pretty some 'experiments' tourned out well for him.
it isn't that hard to interprete what he says innit :)

agreed 100%, i_x_ten
i enjoyed this interview thoroughly, anytime richard is in the mood to shoot the breeze about the process of releasing analord or his current listening pile is ok with me.
he's a musical prodigy, period. if you're looking for the details of how he makes his music, a full list of software and hardware isn't going to help you very much...
thanks to whoever scanned this
