Schlitze Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 You are absolutely obsessed with Aphex Twin. Worryingly so. You didn't grow out of it. Most 50 year olds listen to Crosby Stills and Nash. Jump on that hype train. It will mean having to sell all your t-shirts but I think you should do it.

arachnopus Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 paul picked some great tracks to share with us, answered many participant questions personally, and talked quite a bit about his history and experiences as a designer. of course there is a lot of aphex news lately, though we talked about plenty else. i don't know that it's possible for all of this to come across in the recordings as the nature of the show is interactive. it was cool, but if you don't like it just ignore.

phudoshin Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 From #questions text channel @ #snareup @ discord The Pink Pistol I've just started a college track in Graphic Design and we're doing a lot of drafting on paper (particularly for typography) to get into things. Is working on paper how you started as well, Paul? Phresch are you still in touch with richard james and have you got an afx tattoo comploud What made you and rich modify the afx logo slighty when going into the syro era? Number 3 The Pink Pistol I was a University in a time before Apple Macs and the like - 1989-1992. Everything was pencil & paper. Still is. I find it the best way for ideas to flow. @phresch I did not speak with Richard from 1995 to 2016 when he rand me up out of the blue. We spoke for about 4 hours. I am hoping to meet up with him sometime soon. The Pink Pistol Thank you your work and tastes are great Number 3 @comploud As far as I am aware, the Syro logo is as the original. The black on Green sticker is on my current sketchbook. phresch what are your inspirations in art? Number 3 @The Pink Pistol Thanks. @phresch A big question.

Comploud are you aware that the logo is on a gravestone? phresch haha, used and abused for sure. i've seen so many variations of it Number 3 @comploud Is that grave stone for real or has someone had fun in Photoshop? GreystarMusic I believe it's real! one sec... found it on a reddit post Comploud apparently it was found during a walk in england Bigly Striber I'm sure you can run it through a photo scanner to see if it's been manipulated Number 3 @phresch used and abused – YouTube Paul Nicholson Aphex Animated Logo - YouTube Comploud the post on reddit seemd to be authentic who knows Bigly Striber "digital image forensics" Comploud antoher mystery phresch nice video, paul. ive spent hours in various emblem editors in video games trying to get the dimensions right it was always off somehow Bigly Striber you ever hear of the game Armored Core? Number 3 @Bigly Striber Not until now. The Pink Pistol Another question, did you also do the jumbly "APHEX" text on the cover of Selected Ambient Works V.2? How did that come to be, if so?(edited) Bigly Striber I was just curious, because the art design looks almost like some of your art on your website(edited) Number 3 @The Pink Pistol I worked on the whole sleeve concept for Ambient Works Vol 2. Check out my Instagram - I go in to quite a bit of detail. - https://www.instagram.com/p/BRvHJeuBMvp/?hl=en&taken-by=number3__ Instagram Instagram post by Paul Nicholson • Mar 17, 2017 at 10:36am UTC 179 Likes, 3 Comments - Paul Nicholson (@number3__) on Instagram: “APHEX TWIN - Selected Ambient Works Volume 2 - Sleeve Design Never seen before working sketches…” phresch @The Pink Pistol there's a nice video with paul here YouTube Resident Advisor RA News: Aphex Twin logo designer Paul Nicholson shows more unseen sketches The Pink Pistol Got it Awesome, thank you! Phresch ive seen a few logos/work by you inspired by japanese culture/anime, is that something you like working on? is it hard to stay passionate about your design for big corporations vs small indie artists? *designs/artwork Bigly Striber ^ great question Number 3 @phresch It is a balance. Working for bigger companies brings you bigger bucks and really forces you to up your game. But ultimately, it becomes design by committee and very often is forced down avenues you are not 100% completely happy... But it pays the bills. Working with artists and smaller companies gives you more freedom and opportunities to create more creative, cutting edge work... But tends to pay bad. @phresch From a creative point of view, I enjoy both. Phresch that's good Number 3 @phresch The whole thing regarding Japan goes back to the mid 80s when I was much younger. I got into Japanese comics and especially robot shows like Gundam and Patlabor. My major thesis at University was on the history of the Japanese comic. I had two T-shirt brands - Prototype 21 & Terratag - that were predominantly influenced by Japanese culture.` The Pink Pistol Did you ever do any work with/for The Designers Republic, or any of the team? Number 3 @The Pink Pistol I met Ian Anderson when I was doing an essay for my A-Levels way back in 1987. Around the time they were working with the Age of Chance. I met in a number of times whilst touring with Aphex and visiting the guys at Warp - DR and Warp were both based in Sheffield at the time. I also had a T-shirt printing company frrom 92-2015 and have printed a number of T-shirt for him. But never actually worked at DR or designed on a project with him. A shame, he is the Don. The Pink Pistol Yeah, Ian's a big inspiration of mine! Number 3 @The Pink Pistol A legend. Phresch is there not a documentary about TDR out somewhere? or did i dream that up? The Pink Pistol All I've seen are some interviews. Phresch maybe they were featured in some other documentary ive seen then could be the "helvetica" one Number 3 There has to something on DR somewhere. Phresch do you know about Eiko Ishioka's designs, Paul? Bigly Striber are your font's available for download anywhere as a TTF or any format?(edited) did you listen to anything other than techno growing up? who or what was your first introduction to music? Number 3 Eiko Ishioka... New to me. Is she a costume designer? Phresch yeah, she's done some amazing designs primarily with costumes. dracula, the fall, the cell.. etc. she passed away a few years ago sadly http://fuckyeaheikoishioka.tumblr.com/ EIKO ISHIOKA Dedicated to reblogging the amazing work of costume designer Eiko Ishioka (12-07-1938 - 21-01-2012) Bigly Striber why number 3 and not number 0 Number 3 @Bigly Striber Question 1 - I have all my fonts drawn up but need to get them all converted to .TTF and .OTF to make them keyboard type. You reckon people would be ineterested? Phresch oh definitely Bigly Striber i'd be interested. I would use it for the snareup website Number 3 @Bigly Striber Question 2 - My music taste is braod but predominantly non-vocal and electronic. Bigly Striber I still haven't decided on a good font to use NEW MESSAGES Bigly Striber i like your wide fonts. it reminds me of 90s 00s cyberpunk-ish thing Number 3 Most of those fonts go back to the 90s I should get some new font designs down Phresch designing fonts sounds like a lot of work Number 3 Damn right. And I usually only stick to A-Z, 0-9 and a few punctuations marks. Fuck doing accents and a full set of punctuation and symbols. But I love it though. phresch yeah, i love a good font set. i like checking dafont.com from time to time, and i'm amazed at some of the stuff people have put on there its been good chatting with you, sir paul. hope to speak to you again soon! hope you have a nice stay in germany Number 3 @phresch You bet. Always a pleasure. I am so excited about going to Berlin it is silly. I am like a little kid in the run up to Christmas, counting down the days. Phresch i'll bet you have a few fans there as well Bigly Striber @dr lopez i think is in Berlin right now(edited) Bigly Striber I've always wanted to go, this is your first time @Number 3?(edited) Number 3 Hell no. I first went with Richard in March 92 when he played his first ever Aphex gig. It was at Tresor. I have been three times since. So, the launch party for The Mover MMXVII will be my fifth time to Berlin. Jessica Walrus Any recomendation to make logos for self promotion? Like for music projects etc. The Pink Pistol I can actually help you @Jessica Walrus but I'm still learning I can send examples of past work if you like Jessica Walrus @The Pink Pistol that would be cool The Pink Pistol whitley vouches for me i've done work for him before (not the watd logo they're using lol) kattin have you been to Detroit? Number 3 @kattin Once. With Aphex on the NASA tour I mentioned earlier. November 1993. Would love to go back. I read that the guy who started Tresor in Berlin wants to open a Tresor in Detroit. Kattin yeah they had a party during Movement but I didn't make it. great scene going on here right now Number 3 Detroit hold deep importance to me. A band I loved when I was 15-16, called the Age of Chance had a catchphrase - LEEDS - DETROIT - BERLIN - NEW YORK. Comploud toronto/ canada? my home city Number 3 My sister-in-law lives in Seattle so I have been over to the states a lot more recently. What with my trip to New york in April for good measure. The Age of Chance thing was in reference to harder, industrial music coming from harder, industrial cities. AOC were from Leeds, which was about 18 miles from where I was brought up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
