    Richard D James SoundCloud - A Gift To The Fans

    in Aphex Twin

    Posted

    so the end of the summer afx tour is here and can't believe how quick its gone by. 9 shows  :aphexsign: in less than three months, has he ever done this many in such a short time?

    but just wanted to say thanks to ya rdj who you've helped me in my own life, multiple times:)

    in the syrobonkers! you said 'autistic trait' about how you used to feel and i realized i was on the autism spectrum, which i officially confirmed last year and that has been a big relief for me. i now understand but i wasn't too happy at the time wondering how could i not know or those around me not know? thanks rdj!!!

    that same year in 2014 you said in an interview that you tell those with a baby or toddler that all the noise will pass and it will get better:) it did and i constantly reminded myself of that to deal with the noise and constant looking after. (i was the oldest of six kids and helped take care and raise my siblings. at 12 years my mom had twins so i constantly heard crying and noise throughout growing up, and that all came flooding back when i had a kid of my own. because of that only had one kid) what you said made such a big difference in how i dealt with the memories coming back from experiencing it again. thank you rdj:)

    the music you have created has helped me through so many different times in my life :aphexsign: it's alive is the best way to describe how i feel listening to any of your music. thanks aphex!

    the people i've met this summer have so much excitement and joy when raving at your shows. really really nice fans you have:) :aphexsign:

    in another interview you were talking about how we're possibly living in a simulation and the other links you put on soundclown that opened my mind to take in other aspects of this reality. made me do tons of research and still do because of that. (what if  i  told you)

    i wanted to say thank you for releasing all the tracks on sc and continue today giving away music others only dream about creating. you started uploading tracks to sc the day after my dad was buried and it helped me immensely throughout the following years.

    there's more but i'll write some when i get back from the double rave this weekend.

    amazing times will be had :aphexsign:

    Is Aphex Twin's Recent Music Less Ambitious Than His Earlier Work?

    In some ways I think it's more ambitious than it ever was. Imagine trying to make collapse EP with a cirklon and a huge hardware collection and making it all talk together and mix together correctly and all that. Man is doing some crazy shit that nobody else is doing in that way right now.

    yes

    all live as well i'd imagine :aphexsign:

    Re-listening to the set, one thing I wanted to mention in my initial reaction was, how amazing it was to hear Falling Free in a setting like that. I got excited as soon as that unmistakable clicky/buzzy drum pattern started sneaking in.

    I've spent so much time listening to that track and being inside my own head, from hazy high school days to now, experiencing it in a huge setting like that was surreal and felt special.
    Has it been played out before?

    yeah phudoshin called that track right away when aphex dropped it :aphexsign:

    well that was pretty amazing! had fun meeting watmmers and raving:) first saw @Mattthegoone and his friend, then later @Herr Jan called out diatoms as i was going to stand in the last bit of sunshine going down which made me stop and realize someone said my name. then as we were talking @phudoshin and his friend saw us and joined (also raved with), with @hello spiral and @eaw joining the group just after that. it was a pleasure meeting you all! i also walked around and talked to lots of awesome afx fans in the hours before. such a nice day/night for aphex acid! :aphexsign:

    Wait wait - at the Grammys in 2015, that isn't actually what happened. This is an interesting story of WATMM memes replacing reality.

    Here's the thread from 2015 where we all discussed the Grammys. Start at about page 9.

    The actual real audio was quite weird, they just played a bit of random lift music:
     

    Goiter Sanchez then posted a meme version with the AB 3.1 track dubbed over.

    Goiter Sanchez also posted this 54 Cymru Beats version:

    There were quite a few other meme versions that I can no longer find.

    Warp Records then put out a news item about the win (its no longer on their site) and jokingly included the AB 3.1 meme version.

    And then that became the one everyone remembered and now everyone thinks thats what happened.

    Paging @Goiter Sanchez - congratulations sir, you have changed history.
