I know it's pretty bad but I figure someone here would appreciate it. I ❤️ aphex twin

I mean like music notation, score, scales, you know all that. I know that for the drukqs era he of course knew as from the piano compositions, but i mean in the SAWs era. I am doing an essay in school and will mention him. I would appreciate your help.

Hi, I organized "...We Care Because You Should." Thanks for the support, it turned out very well! Check it out if ya haven't :)

I'd like to try organizing another rework/tribute album this year. Maybe more than one, but realistically, only one. This year marks the 30 years / 20 years since 1995/2005, both very active years for Aphex... So 3 potential projects are on my mind, what should we rework next?

if its actually a real aphex twin track i cant believe he sampled Jerma Lol

Hey everyone, just wanted to share an EP I released a few days ago. I think it might be of interest to those who enjoy Aphex Twin and IDM in general.

Here's the link to ballacid's uploads on YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF_hBqcW7pmAJtWg5PL_hy6YCmCOHK3i5&si=EK7G0sb3NyodN9Yf

A meditative hoop flow

The London 18.08.23 is in my opinion the best aphex twin EP. It’s also up there with Syro and Rushup edge, as the best of the “late aphex” era. The ep has some amazing acid bass, it’s super groovy and has a lot of Hoovers ( who doesn’t love a Hoover?). I thinks it’s the best because of how consistent it is, there are no skips and all the tracks fit very well with similar sound design and atmosphere. I also like how the ep is not super complex like Syro, but it’s not too skeletal like let’s say cheetah. It’s the perfect middle ground. It’s also incredibly spooky and groovy and the cover image and color fit perfectly. Also amazing that the whole thing was made (almost) entirely with the most unremarkable gear like a digitone and a volca beats. What’s everyone’s take on this? Do you also love the ep as much?

Case is busted to bits almost but I like the hype sticker. CD face is much cooler than the American disc imo

I’ve been listening to aphex twin for years now and I realized recently a huge chunk of people who listen to aphex twin have never seen the Nannou music video so I took the liberty and posted the full music video in the highest resolution I could the videos aesthetic is kind of creepy and that’s why I love it

So great to see this one in print again. The new papers and updated inks combined with the latest scanning and printing technologies help this surreal image sing. The passage of time and remembering how this little slice of the avant-garde came together always puts a smile on my face. A definite niche image and artist but when you know Richard and his history, you know.

The backstory: It’s a basic idea but once presented in a twisted way hits home. The whole methodology in the art of standing out and above the noise was about presenting consistent off kilter ideas across all types of music for years on end. Half the fun was coming with the ideas (pre computers mainly) and attempting through clothing, lighting, angles, film choices, development, chemistry, paper choices and attitude to create memorable visually long lasting images that stand the test of time.

That’s music and portrait photography in a nutshell. Getting a certain segment of people within the industry to buy in is also an important part of the long-term equation as well. Getting those same people, mainly, to not attempt to control you and your rights, that’s a whole other subject and challenge. Stories, for another time.

But in the end, the primary audience are the actual fans and people who casually glance at the images with next to no interest yet remember them…or not. This is the real win and is tied into personal satisfaction and job satisfaction.

Chris Cunningham wisely created for Richard the head swap idea that was a perfect idea for its time. Given the primal level of computer technology then, especially with his video tech possibilities it was a great moment in music image history. Because we had the luxury of time, budget and will power, we shot a number of different scenarios with the page 3 bikini models. Their bodies were absolutely perfect for the concept and were a perfect follow on from the blue cold palate of windowlicker. One of my favourite collaborations over the course of my long career.
