I've been listening to come 2 daffy and the rdj album a lot recently. clearly these definately... were not albums of the latest fashion meant for casual toss aside listening. THe logic behind the sound seems universal, like if there is any lifeform in the uinverse that evolved "ears" (where there's sound evolution will make ears probably) they would find it appealing (unless there's some human-unique evolutionary reason music is appealing) THere is something exceptional about aphex twin's music, and I wish I knew the person behind it better. And I mean "exception"al. That is quite a fitting word. I still have not heard anything that emulates these albums well. THe ones who come close are more like music scientists- or at least use sophisticated tools well whether or not they know how they logically work (autechre); they aren't "naturally" gifted. I'd guess there's something biologically unique about his brain. I wish he'd talk to the public more or just release his freakin music. This music apparently just comes naturally out of him, I wish I knew more details like how long the tracks took to make, or the order and method of composition. It really seems he has no rigid algorithm/method at all but rather simply makes what sounds good. Every track is completely unique and remarkable with only a handful of repeatedly applied elements/themes, but this could simply be because these themes are the most musically pleasing (fast percussion usually, that one reverse a percussion hit accentuation he uses, the other reverb a accentuation hit). Judging mostly by his music, I can't imagine a person like aphex (though I don't know him at all) doing normal things like going to high school. Still it's a great pleasure to know him even as indirectly as his music. He says he thinks about the internet and stuff, yet he's said weird things like he thinks music is 1/2 boy and 1/2 girl, or something. That just makes naive sad/happy sense, making sense of the world in such a humble way. I wish he'd write a book about |

I find that there is a certain feeling that something emits when it is "right". Whether it be visual art, or music, or some other type of creation, there's a certain feeling of completeness and of balance when everything falls into the correct place and order. I guess making something nice is a matter of being able to identify this feeling and then finding some sort of media which you can control well enough to create something that fits the feeling. |

Yes, I agree that RDJ most certainly is a genious.. His music is so incredibly inspiring to a musician like me, but it has a reverse effect in that my greatest attempts always pale in comparison to his lamest achievements... I do not strive to make music better than him or even in the same echelon, but I do hope to be able to make music that strikes the same vein in human emotion. I have never felt the need to cry during a song until I heard Aphex Twin. |

i agree with him. but i dont think the music just comes easily and just flows right out of him. i think he works pretty god damn hard at it |

aphex is amazing... the intricacies to be found in his music upon repeat listens is unreal... and it all seems to fit so perfectly... very rarely does it seem contrived... his ability to create tension between "fast" and "slow" elements seems somewhat central to much of his work... |

It was posted my w M w... and I guess we're just not used to taking these things seriously, God bless him. Yeah, I think I'd call him a genius. He was kind of the hub that I branched out from, exploring electronic music, but I've yet to find anyone as eclectic and enjoyable as his stuff is. |

Deadeight, you point out a quality of his music I never noticed before, but it's true. I love that 'human feel' in his programming. Lots like his older stuff. As do I, but the beauty of his newer work is that it's so fluid. Ever changing but fluid. He uses very bold drum sounds compared to Samples you'd find on soulseek. He likes to ramp the attack on a snare or bassdrum right before the main bassdrum or snare. Like vooom Bap. I think he's multitracking out the ass, now.. Putting together tons of different takes from source material. Or he's sitting parts of his tracks that don't change, the audio files, synced and sequenced next to synths programmed realtime. Like that wonderful sweeping bassline in windowlicker. Think that's wavetable synthesis there. Windowlicker is a perfect track to analyze in soundforge. Then compare it to the windowlicker demo on the Japanese import. Same sounds less dsp, bassline doesn't sweep like the original. Look at any aphex track in Soundforge. Real eye opener.... Ok, You can make fun of me now.... |

I don't think Aphew Twin works *that* hard on his music. Of course he does a lot of work to make the music 'come alive' in the studio, but I think the music itself flows out of him naturally. The ideas just come out, and then he works on the production quite a bit until it sounds fluid and kickass. That's just how I picture him in my mind. Some musicians seem to do a lot of work on the actual music before they come up with anything decent. This seems to be the excact opposite for Aphex. |

How would you know that at all? Squarepusher mentioned richard spent 3 hours making a sinlge snare sound. |

id believe that. you could spend forever crafting a good sound. |

what i love the most is each of the tunes he releases is different to others, each song stands out for something... he surely is extremly gifted, but im also pretty certain he spends way more time creating music than most of other artists - so he's probably really using just the best tunes to release (unfortunately) - i think he's always doing something related to music, music is his life... |
