Aphex Twin just gave an extraordinarily in-depth and extensive interview with his friend Dave Noyze. It’s the result of two months worth of conversation, pre and post-Syro release. Noyze also notes that a part two is coming.
In the interview, the usually reclusive Richard James shares a number of things, including the album titles origin—it’s from “syrobonkers,” a word his son made up. James also shares some music he claims his six-year-old has made, and wonders where he gets it from:
He is so advanced mainly because he is trying to keep up with his 8yr old bro who is also going way deep into computers already, dunno where they get it from, its really exciting to see them start so young.
I love music by people who dont know wtf they are doing…its the best…why i liked certain periods of jungle so much before they learned how to use machines properly.
Doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy music made by wise people but I think your more likely to learn something ’new’ by someone who doesnt know anything as opposed to someone who has been doing it their whole life.
James also shared a whole host of alternate takes and early demos, including this “fenix funk [early mix].” You can go digging through all the new tracks over on his SoundCloud.
