Hail Sagan Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 For whatever reason, Da Gawd has been following Navs on SoundCloud ( https://soundcloud.com/navs) and continues to after unfollowing the likes of µ-Ziq, Somadril and even his own, official, AphexTwin account. Perhaps he just thinks the guy deserves more spotlight, admires what he’s doing, or something else. Who knows really? Trying to assume someone else’s perspective can be a pretty futile exercise. Maybe it isn’t significant at all, but after getting a little more familiar with Navs' sounds on bandcamp and remembering that Richard recently released a modular trax compilation during the Syrobonkers interview I’m excited about what Richard may be cooking up, and impressed with the new (To me at least. Feel free to school a noob.) terrain Navs is navigating. Can’t say I was wowed by any of the stuff on Modular Trax tbh (Navs >) but man, there is some serious potential here imo. We all know how capable Richard is, and with a whole new smorgasbord of strange and exciting modular sounds at his disposal I can only imagine what may be lying in wait. Here’s some of Nav’s stuff that has me psyched: <iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=903251047/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=63b2cc/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=64269953/transparent=true/"seamless><a href="http://navs.bandcamp.com/album/clubtransmodular">ClubTransModular by Navs</a></iframe> <iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=903251047/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=3906259377/transparent=true/"seamless><a href="http://navs.bandcamp.com/album/clubtransmodular">ClubTransModular by Navs</a></iframe> <iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=4214908200/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=333333/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=4098360271/transparent=true/"seamless><a href="http://navs.bandcamp.com/album/patch-of-the-day">Patch of the Day by Navs</a></iframe> <iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=4214908200/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=ffffff/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=408173797/transparent=true/"seamless><a href="http://navs.bandcamp.com/album/patch-of-the-day">Patch of the Day by Navs</a></iframe> <iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=120665841/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=0f91ff/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=2614471075/transparent=true/"seamless><a href="http://navs.bandcamp.com/album/mungo-system-demos">Mungo System Demos by Navs</a></iframe> <iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=4087966467/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/"seamless><a href="http://navs.bandcamp.com/album/shifter-shootout">Shifter Shootout by Navs</a></iframe> <iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1235771630/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=333333/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/"seamless><a href="http://navs.bandcamp.com/album/modcan-fmvdo-demo">Modcan FMVDO Demo by Navs</a></iframe> <iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=882922398/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/"seamless><a href="http://navs.bandcamp.com/album/cwejman-mmf-2-demo">Cwejman MMF-2 Demo by Navs</a></iframe> <iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="http://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=882922398/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=2496851031/transparent=true/"seamless><a href="http://navs.bandcamp.com/album/cwejman-mmf-2-demo">Cwejman MMF-2 Demo by Navs</a></iframe> Thoughts?

Herr Jan Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 He just wants to give the guy some exposure because he makes nice sounds? Listening to a few tracks on his bandcamp, really neat things in there. And then there's this: https://vimeo.com/119211018Would've liked to witness that live, too late... He also narrated 'I Dream Of Wires', so he's no stranger really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarb0 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 At first i also thought it could be him, but if you look at the uplaod dates navs has already uploaded stuff like 3 or 4 years ago already, that made me doubt it's actually RDJ. i really love dornröschen, It's a great track!

Ingwe Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 i'd imagine he might want to follow navs' many demos of new eurorack modules, perhaps to check out what he'd like to try for his own modular, or to get ideas from navs' detailed descriptions.

superstix Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Dudes. Navs is definitely not AFX. He is the guy who narrated "I Dream Of Wires: Hardcore Edition". Betta recanize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisbot Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Interesting stuff for sure. Both these and the modular tracks are. I will say though, imho, this isn't new territory by any means. It sounds like some of the oldest territory explored by electronic stuff in the 50s-60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest skibby Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 i reckon Aphex has to be careful about who he follows since it would be the subject of entire internet threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
