Steinvord Speculation

[Silent Member]

I met a guy in a pub who is close to grant&co and he told me it's d'arcangelo, but then he switched his story and said it was Chris Cunningham and that this was to be a best kept secrete.

 

In conclusion: it's the effects twins

[FinePrimitiveSounds]

It really doesn't sound like side 2 is aphex it sounds like side 1 is and side 2 is tom but rich says it's neither but we can speculate for years on this. Who did grimes say it was?

[psn]

Adding to the JK 'fire' I just hit this track on the Touched 2 compy and it sure is Drukqs'y if not quite full on Steinvord sounding: http://touched.bandcamp.com/track/capecitabine

 

There is a stiffness to the beats that I don't hear in Steinvord.

[delet...]

i like the idea that aphex puts out blistering beats in secret and then officially releases throwaway things like the "this is what my automatic drum set up sounds like" EP. It also fucking frustrates me, but yeop.

Haha. I didn't mind CCAI, but I see your point.

The first post about Steinvord was on 12th May 2008, so it's now been over 10 years+ and Steinvord's identity is still a mystery.

Iyff Acid E1 is either rdj or the best rdj impersonator so far

 

[zlemflolia]

Also untitled 97 reminds me a lot of a tuss+MFM style mix

From 2:42 on I hear some Drukqs style edits and a little touch of Tuss Death Fuck edit style

i had a dream once that afx uploaded this during the soundcloud dump with the caption "unreleased drukqs outtake", i'd have no problem believing it:

this is RDJ

Prove me wrong

oddly, this track convinces me it's not rdj. too many transitions and motifs which don't sound like anything rdj would do. not that it's bad though.

Personally I still find the 'vord tracks as fresh as they were when I first clicked play on MySpace. I believe there hasn't been a time I've felt like I had overplayed the tracks or got otherwise bored with them. Pretty good when we are talking about artist who put out only 11 track during his whole career (or did s/he???). That screams quality. Damn shame Rephlex couldn't put out the LP which was in the talks since there seems not to be a single other outlet to put it out in the whole internet.

Totally agree although i felt same about all the tracks...something not quite right

[B1000]

Lot of interesting clues about steinvord, maybe worthy of a small google doc or something...

 

e.g. watmm references in 'rules the read II' and creating a thread in 2008 linking to his own music, the imp sound effects from Doom in 'backyard', people talking at end of one of the tracks, the official soundcloud they made around 2012 but never uploaded anything to it, how RDJ said steinvord is an 'american dude' meanwhile grant said he was spanish

3:35-4:35 very compelling evidence.

[worms]

Steinvord is RDJ

[worms]

Btw squarepusher is RDJ

This one is so gd good it kills me.  I have a really hard time believing this isn't 100% AFX.

Wasn't there also a steinvord twitter account opened around the same time with SC? Albeit with 0 tweets but still...

[GetSquirrely]

does anyone have the squarepusher interview where he's asked about steinvord, and he basically replies: "who? even if i knew, i couldn't tell you. *smiles* "

[beerwolf]

need to pull this out of the vinyl rack and give it a spin

 

hoof it!

I wouldn't be surprised if Steinvord was Bit Meddler with a folder of chopped up samples from Druqks and Go Plastic.
