honest interview? Don't be foolish. Maybe some answers are honest, like favorite music and stuff. |

Aphex interviews are tiring. You've read one you've read them all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't know if you pretend to be naive or you really are. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Please explain. |

I realise there are nice bits of the interview. He is funny, but I was hoping for some honest answers for once about his studio cause I enjoy learning about how music is made. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can clearly see in his interviews what he means..when he jokes about it and when he says something for real. he is just like any other person..if the reporter asks a question you answer in a funny way, why would aphex answer seriously..it would just looks silly and make him look like a more serious person than he really is. i really like the way he gives interviews..he just shows he is as much down to earth guy as anyone else. |

i see both bogala's and tolstoyed's points i guess i just wanted more imagine that, richie not giving his fans 150% of what they want :) not bad, better than nothing |

Asking for a kit list in a future music article is not a funny question. Luke Vibert is honest and laid back at the same time. He said he uses Reason. Thats almost embarrasing. My opinion is aphex likes keeping secrets. That's ok. Makes him more interesting even though it is frustrating. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why would he give his kit list? that's the list interesting thing i could read about. it's not about what you use to make music it's more about what goes on in your head. |
||||||||
|

IF I EVER FIND OUT WHAT GOES ON IN RICHIE'S HEAD... ILL QUIT LIKING HIS MUSIC, HIS MIND IS A VAST EXPERIENCE OF LIGHT, LOVE AND KILLING !!! I LOVE AFX |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cause its a future music article. Its a magazine about music instruments. I like reading about gear and people's opinions of software and synths. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ps> if he gives a list of what he uses, or his custom equipment, think of all the xlt'ers that will hop on his equipment bandwagon, not to mention a majority of the idm world FCUK THE HATORZ ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mr afx is going to give you want you want hes going to give you what he wants to give you |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why would he care about that? surely his music doesn't like it does because of the equipment. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
doesn't SOUND like it does.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im sure he would tell it but i think he thinks it's a silly topic to talk about because it isn't really about what he is doing. it's a technical thing for the nerd kids to get excited about at most. |
||||||||

I see bogola's point, though. the whole "I'm a cheeky-chappy-making-music"-thing has gotten tired a long while ago. and he certainly comes out with quite some bollocks to reasonable questions, not just the "comical" ones. all his interviews seem a bit the same though, "what equipment have you been using lately", "how many tracks do you have lying around unreleased", "what do you think about all the people who try and imitate you", etc. you could say that's the interviewer's problem, and you'd be half right. when the subject of your interview is being purposefully obtuse, it becomes kind of uninviting to ask him things, so people tend to stick to the simple, more straightforward questions. I get the feeling that it isn't so much which questions get asked, but in what kind of mood Aphex is. and the mood almost always seems "I don't care about interviews", which is fine, but his interviews always keep on the surface, never going very deep. and I think it's a pity, I think he's a smart bloke who could have some interesting things to say. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but that's the thing, there don't seem to be the right questions to ask him. everything's a laugh to him. fine, but it doesn't make for very interesting reading, I think. |
||||||||
|

qrter> Next time i want to hear your opinion, ill tell it to you |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll let you know when to tell me you want to hear my opinion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if i was asked question like people want to ask him i would most definitelly find it silly as well. you can see that guy obviously knows little something about music and related stuff and yet he gets asked types of questions; what do you think of people making music like you, stuff about his gear, you went analogue what's with digital, what software do you use and blah blah.. i only read like two interview that ahd at least a couple of decent questions.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but that's my point - that's not just the interviewer's fault, it's also his, it's also because of how he presents himself. he seems hard to please, so people tend to go for the straightforward stuff. there's probably hardly anything you could ask him about his music that he wouldn't find a silly and/or boring question. I don't think he likes talking about his music, really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
perhaps..dunno. but i've read/heard him talk about his music before and it was interesting..if the questions were asked right. more about what he gets out of music what he strives for..and not so much about details of how he makes it. there are very few interviews around and most of them were made when he was still very young and now interviewers just take those as examples. you don't see people asking lets say john cage what sort of string he used in certain piece..it's just silly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What ? and a Huh ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The questions are the same. The tank? Who cares. Others get asked the same questions and they answer them honestly. Richard probably talks about software and synths and whats your favorite this or that. I bet he gets into it like any other geek. He relies on the opinion of other experts too I would guess. He's secretive for many reasons and I would bet its not cause he finds explaining his studio silly or beside the point. I think he isn't forthright because he feels it gives him an edge. If everyone used what he used he would get copycat artists. Even if gear is irrelevant I don't think he believes that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ofcourse that's one of the reasons too..why would you want to make same music aphex makes anyway? i don't get it. i really don't. he is not just some nerdy bedroom music maker like a lot of his fans who masturbate to different sounds. he actually cares about music i belive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Most people care about music. He's just one of the few that is actually good at making it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when i say care about music i mean he is interested in it. he is learning about music producers from the past..getting to know their music, why they made stuff like they have, he probably isn't satisifed before he knows the essence of it. and most of his followers seem to mostly wait what he would come up with..not interested in why he came up with it but how he produced certain sounds. it's quite sad really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats funny. I thought of that too. Aphex doesn't have another Aphex. He has dockstader, derrick may, Iannis Xenakis to figure out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

funny how Future Music couldn't even get the thing they were talking about right... "So, on to the CHOSEN LORDS set of vinyl..." "What would you swap a boxed set of CHOSEN LORDS for and why..." what makes it kinda more worrying is that RDJ didn't correct them on their blatant fuck up - they were obviously referring to the Analord stuff. i know if it was me in the same position i'd be telling them "look, get the fucking release right else i'm out of here" or maybe i'm just a pedantic prick |

HAHAHHAHAHAHA Richard is reading this as a "guest" and having a ball with you all, him and his mates all are.. AHAHAHAHAHAHA |

"I admire Cage very much, as a man, but what is chance? If you think you are using chance in his way, you may simply be acting unrationally. The intuition of Cage is dangerous, a style and mentality of mystico-romantic improvisation, which agitates ignorant souls'. Iannis Xenakis. straight up. Lucifer |

It was a boring interview mainly because 'future music' magazing is shite + it was an e-mail interview which are the worst as there's no 'oxygen' there. You can reply to a question days later and edit etc. after looking up 'early sequencing' on google. I think a chat show style video interview would be more fitting and stimullating for nerds. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Please dont tell me that they have turned you down ? If you say "Yes" ill find every future music magazine here in the states and burn them all, all of them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've been pestering them for years! They give cd''s attatched to their magazine titled '1000 glitch hop samples' and have tutorials on 'how to get that boards of canada sound'. It's like having '1000 words shakespeare may have used if he were still alive' and 'how to perfect your Lady Di walk' it's rubbish |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahahah is the "how to get that boards of canada sound" a good thing these days.oohhhhhhhh burn... well, boc put out some truely remarkable releases and their past one.........is a bit blah to ok, and the ep is a bit..........blah to ok as well.... i just briefly ran through theier webpage/read the rdj article, they sound like total mainstream bullshit Correct me if im wrong Jivver. |

very well written, afx needs a new media strategy (and the media should really come up with some new questions) tolstoyed: of course people want to know about the gear, because they believe the gear is important for interesting results. but as you wrote, the gear isn't really the whole thing. some gear makes certian sounds, but it may end up as crap anyway (it mostly does, even in professional music making - making lots of music combined with careful selection is probably a solution) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really liked when Future Music gave the readers info on what gear to use if they wanted certain artist's sound - what drummachines to use and stuff like that. When they came to Ae they couldn´t really get any clear answers because there were no presets or common sounds easy to spot. :D "most sounds are probably custom made" fm stated. Way to go, Ae! I like original music. (many years later Ae revealed their extensive kit list) |
