aphex = Acid + ph - the measure or acidity +
ex - cuz it sounds cool
twin = as said before, his dead twin brother

or it could just be 'apex', spelled differently.

when i saw him play last night he reffered to himself as
squarepusher. i didn't get the chance to ask him why.

i read an interview; squarepusher means nothing. it's just
something he came up with. there's nothing wrong with
reading meaning in it

but he never meant for it to be some kind of riddle

i don't believe this is the source but its a
intersting/funny idea anyway:

In James Joyce's Ulysesse - A book i read somehwere that TJ
really digs, A "squarepusher" is Dublin slang for a seedy
kinda guy who checks out girls asses after they walk by:
Do a search here for the word and see for
yourself.

Hey... we're ALL squarepushers.

By the way folks....my handle KEYFUMBLER is my personal
homage to the mighty Squarepusher - one hell of a fucking
artist.
