APHEX TWIN - SYRO

[mcbpete]

Was that not just for the Monkey Drummer thing years back -

 

 

(my bad, didn't see date log)

 

MC, it's Screwball Scramble (had one as a kid) -

So he took delivery of Snar2 three weeks ago, not sure if anyone's thought to look at the site considering it hadn't been updated in a few months.

01.08.2014: <Snar2> , robosnare, left off for Albion.

how do you know he's been delivered of anything ?

 

not judging but sounds super creepy

[modey]

 

 

Tracklist is weird.. What does it mean?

sleuths speculated earlier in the thread..

 

korg minipops - minipops 67 (source field mix)

sequentia cirklon - cir[c]lon...

akai s950, yamaha tx16, ensoniq asr10 - s950tx16wasr10 (earth portal mix)

 

Why those instruments? Does Richard have a sponsorship with Akai, Yamaha and Ensoniq?? This seems so fake.

 

I thought he uses expensive synths like synthon fenix, synthi stuff and modular systems to the air plus computers.

 

lol @ the idea of RDJ only using expensive synths

Yeah for real, I'm pretty sure his first several albums were made exclusively with gear he found in a box behind Giant Tiger

[mcbpete]

Aye, weren't 303s practically given away in the mid 80s as no one wanted the thing that sounded nothing like a bass guitar ?!

[patternoverlap]

The impression I've always gotten is that he doesn't care what the gear is if it creates the desired results. Being snobby and only using really expensive gear is just asshole posturing bullshit.

Completely agreed with that point of view, it's why I never quite got why people try and work out kit whenever there's a photo of a band. It's the ideas behind the music rather than the tech itself that's important.

1989 was the year to buy vintage analog.

I agree w/ the everything is useful idea, but the gear, especially in this type of music is important if you're trying to chase a sound or figure out how or what specifically they're using ti make specific sounds is the reason why people get obsessed with checkout out gear

60 pages of thread and still haven't posted anything here, heh...

 

it was worth waiting so many years, no more "i want to believe" ufo memes, wow...

 

also I was already a bit sick and tired of "imminent" memes as well

 

One of my little dreams come true, a proper, official Aphex Twin release, hopefully something different than Drukqs, I was sick of these lame ass imitators, most of fake Syro albums consist of fast Drukqs-like tracks, people are really idiots lacking imagination and creativity...but enough with that grumpiness, I'm really happy and wish good time for all of you.

 

Ps. I'm not drunk today.

[klore]

don't tell me you are starting a analo/software war here

 

who cares about the gears used, we all know many excellent artist that can make outstanding music whatever the tool

Theyre just old samplers. he's known for recording his own samples and fucking them up!

I have never seen that studio picture in my life. Fake !! (?)

[Bechuga]

Totally true, it is widely known that Aphex has a trademark on cats + electronic equipment that makes sound

[cern]

now they are going up in price

[triachus]

The catstudio pic was apparently taken and uploaded to flickr by his girlfriend, but then quickly taken offline. Or something. Don't really know the whole story.

 

 

 

(ps. avatars need more chartreuse)

[Adieu]

Ever since Syro all the cats in my city have tripled in price.
