Aphex Twin has been one of my favorite artists for about the past two years, but when I finally saw that he was on the lineup for coachella, I was more pissed than anything else. My friend was able to go and see it, and I really wasn't jealous until I got the torrent of the whole set. It is easily one of the best live performances by an electronic musician that I have ever heard, and even in the spectrum of Warp records which holds Grizzly Bear, Battles, Squarepushe... MORE

It's reasonably well-known that Aphex Twin
concealed images in his music, viewable with a
spectrograph. Inspired, this bloke grabs his
spectrograph and investigates, uncovering some
more hidden pictures, including an endearing
cat.

I've been listening to Aphex Twin's lush ambient album, Selected Ambient Works 85-92 for about a decade now and I love every minute of it still. Very few albums produce hours of sonic landscapes with such consistent flow/movement without lulling the listener to sleep. It's a must have for anyone who enjoys "background music" to inspire a project or appreciates electronica's idea of classical music. 16 years after its first pressing, Selected Ambient Works 85-92 has been...

The Aphex Twin, Richard D. James, builds his own instruments digitally by transforming sampled sound and by manipulating the guts of synthesizers as he discovers what his next composition is going to be. The man is very playful. When I hear a new Aphex track, I'm frequently disoriented and then laugh when I recognize the new place he's discovered to take us. It seems to be a matter of pride to not retake old trips. I can only guess what he's doing and what the source o... MORE
This is how Aphex Twin did it.
From the album Drukqs.
Discuss. Discuss.

I found a remarkable story on the Village Voice today. Part mystery thriller, part treasure hunt, part news. It concerns the discovery of some "new" talent, a pair of electronic musicians who collectively go by the name of Tuss, but who individually call themselves Brian Tregaksin and Karen Tregaskin. Tuss released Confederation Trough in their early days, then the prestigious release that caused electronica enthusiasts to sit up and take notice - Rushup Edge on the eli... MORE

Found this over on Digg today. Apparently images are sometimes hidden in the audio of a track, and can be viewed via some audio spectrograph software. Check out the video below of Aphex Twin's track '#2 (the long formula)' from his 'Windowlicker' album.
For those who want to delve deeper and go do this for themselves, I found this excellent article by the producer of the video.
At around 5:27 you will see the best of the images!

Another evening of chillin' out to some good music with a pen in hand...this bit of artwork may not look too inspired, but it was; have a listen to the song and let me know if you think so or not. ;-)

In late 2004, rumours of James' return to an acid techno based sound were realised with the Analord series. This series concentrated on producing fully analogue pieces of music, written and recorded on analogue equipment and pressed to vinyl. For the Analord records, James used his extensive collection of Roland drum machines which he bought when they were still at bargain prices. He also used one of the rarest and most desirable synthesizers of his generation, the Synto... MORE

An all-time favourite...I had a photo to add of a painting that I created whilst listening to this song, but MOG seems to be having problems adding photos at the moment. :-( In any case, you can see the painting in a post at my regular blog here.
UPDATE: Looks like I finally got the photo added here! :-)
