thank god for this sentence
"99% of Aphex Twin’s sound comes from his compositional, sound engineering, musical, timbral, production, and arranging genius."

I've seen videos of aphex, autechre and some other knob twiddlers performing live. I think they're just pretending to make music on the fly, they don't seem to be doing anything.

i've heard thats what mu-ziq does when he's playing live from his laptop - just presses play in windows media player or something similarly lame and pretends to be messing around with stuff on the screen.

so it's more like background noise he accidentally recorded than his music, then?

He uses hundreds of instruments, sound sources, softwares, and devices... but in the early days, he had a very consistent sound for certain portions of his output and those are recognizable by the kit you see on the page.
And for those who doubt he (or any electronic musician) does not play live, try it yourself. When live, you can mix in loops, sounds, and sequences. You can adjust pitches, timbres, effects, etc. Live laptop sets can be amazing.
Its about the musician, not the gear.

Hello, welcome to XLT, I second DirtyPriest in that you made a phenomenal first post. Hope to see you around these parts.
Also, thanks for the info about his gear. Even though I have no plans on getting/replicating any of it, it's still an interesting read.
