My friend hates aphex..
 

ross on 2001-06-21 22:41 [#00010653]



i talked to him today and told him Outkast and Moby were
inspired by Aphex, and he says 'you say that for everyone'
but c'mon..it's true! He doesnt believe other artists could
be inspired by him..then he started to list every possible
artist in his mind inspired by aphex..so i went off
icq..first time ive ever got mad at him

My roomate and i can kind of guess how people made hip hop/
drum&bass etc. My friend who is a good MC tried to argue
that DJ Premier is better than Aphex Twin, more skilled at
writing music. He thought DJ Premier wrote all of it like
played the piano and some of the other instruments etc. We
had to explain to him that he is a producer that only
samples records and doesnt play any real instruments(if you
just sample things your not really a musician), Premiers hip
hop is some of the best. Richard is a classical composer,
writes all of his music himself samples it and then pushes
the capabilities of a sampler to the limit, does some super
technical complicated editing and effects. Cant really
compare the two one is a sampler and the other is a
composer. Skill wise Aphex wins everyone who makes music
using samplers, drummachines, syth's or computers in my
opinion.

so are you saying the bomb squad, (public enemy's production
team) aren't musicians, because their music is sample-based?
man, get to fuck with your snobbishness - you think AFX
never sampled anything?

squarepusher

i wasn't sure about that anyways ;)
t'was a while back when i was new to that board (compared to
some people here i still am) when nacmat introduced me to
confield, now i have all their releases and the rest as
mp3'sbut i understand people not liking them for their lack
of melody. imo their melodies aren't obvious, one has to
listen for a while, they use a very strange langague that
gets more and more complicated with every release. but then
i never get tired of them, it just never gets boring,
there's always something new to discover

if he'd raise his hands up and down, like a butterfly,
that'd be funny, no?

Response to: marlowe. I make sample based music and i
definitely dont consider myself a musician, im a producer.
The bomb squad / Public Enemy if they only sample records
there producers, if they actually play instruments: piano,
bass guitar whatever and then sample what they wrote there
musicians. Aphex Twin is a musician, a composer he writes
his own original piano works etc. Aphex twin does use a
sampler but i doubt he samples other musicians riffs like in
most hip hop. Producer is not a put down, but if your just
a button pusher and use sampler you cant call yourself a
musician.

I'd like to think of, and do, DJ Shadow as a musician.
however, I do see where you're coming from. IMO its a matter
of opinion =)

people I know don't even regard electronic musicians as
musicians! they think they just press a button

The only Aphex fans I know are you people! I've tried to
convert some others to his music, but it's so FRUSTRATING...
so fucking stupid... it's almost like they're disliking
Aphex just to spite me... I bet they have dozens of MP3s by
him that they listen to behind my back... fuckers.

beethoven was a producer - composition is mainly about
producing, not being able to play an instrument - you think
beethoven could play every single instrument he ever wrote
for?

i dont care if its made up of just samples, its still music.
therefore the person who made it is a musician.
