I more or less discovered electronic music after seeing The Flashbulb play with Dillinger and BTBAM in Baltimore over a decade ago. Also FYI Benn released music on Aphex Twin's label so it doesn't surprise me that much that the 2 are in touch. I can't believe he didn't make this video sooner TBH
I first hear and became a fan of AFX when Weaver Beats was a 5 year old boy watching Power Rangers and playing with pogs. I first played with Metasynth years before Windowlicker came out.
cool video from Ben, I think a friend recommended to me Windowlicker and Come to Daddy like forever ago. I regularly use Milky Tracker for sample chopping for wavwars. the spectral image to audio stuff I played with but never used in a song yet.
I really dig his "The Tuss" (Death F*CK Mental Beats) releases and also Fenix Funk 5. The coins dropping in the begining. Of course all his earlier Ish too will remain forever.
My favorite aphex twin tracks are Night Drive through Babylon released as Model 500 and the Electronic Warware ep with the track Illuminator. Land cruising was pretty good too
My first RDJ album was surfing on sine waves. (After hearing it on John Peel) After that it was Ambient Works vol 1 & 2. Can you imagine my surprise when I heard Classics!
I would've never imagined myself as a person that watches reaction video's, but somehow I do really like them. Although he's giving an opinion on people and things I like or don't really care about. I guess it feels like smalltalking in a bar about music stuff and gear and about videos we both saw about music stuff and gear
When I found FL Studio (Fruity Loops at the time) specifically what I was looking for was a DAW that was basically Excel for music. I was also gobsmacked that Benn toured with Dillinger Escape Plan. I also want to know the answer. I would absolutely love to watch you interviewing Benn about that question.
"Everything after windowlicker confused me" drukqs, and syro are confusing? the cheetah ep is confusing? (drukqs is a bit confusing but what is that statement lol.. arguably he has way easier music to digest after windowlicker lol)
Metasynth is awesome, when you go deep with it. It's far from difficult or obtuse once you get used to it. The point about it being outside the norm in terms of approach is that it gets you out of established habits, guiding you down the path of creating something you wouldn't normally have done. That, Opus Modus and Numerology, are the reason I want to get a Mac as an additional music comp. I know that both Metasynth and Opus Modus have talked about having PC versions of their products, but until then the second hand Mac jar is slowly getting filled.
As someone who was introduced to AFX via Girl/Boy song + his Nine Inch Nails remixes in 1997, it's weird to me that other electronic music fans took so long to appreciate Drukqs, Windowlicker etc... to me, those were just the logical progression of what he had been doing since RDJ Album/Hangable Autobulb eps I guess my taste was 10 years ahead of the times. 🤷🏻
in the 90s electronics had the race for mind-fuck inherently built-in. RDJ was the undisputed king of that discipline. The world we have gone on to create delivers more than enough mind-fuck.
I doubt the Royal family knows he even exists, let alone handing him a gong. Although it is an amusing thought. What would it be for? Services to the illegal street drug industry?
some of the weirder stuff I can't tell if it's serious deep listening music, if richard is just taking the piss, or maybe both. like a little wink he gives his listeners.
From my perspective, rdj did his own thing, whether people liked it wasn't even on his radar. This is how he is a bit different from all the moronic producers using plugins to sound like the top 5 beatport tracks. He doesn't care. That music was going to be made regardless vs 'what douchey mcstupid can I can I upload to get likes and get that slutty corporate sponsorships'. You will also notice he is a prolific creative, like prince. The tracks are exhaust. They are like polaroids of a moment. < - read that again. What makes him a great musician is that he can convey something with sound, he has access to his voice, so the instrument is irrelevant. He could bang a toaster in a subway tunnel and turn it into a 140bpm dnb track cuz he would also take the thing apart and mic the springs inside. Plugin kids will never do that...enjoy that expansion from VT...hahahaha
Great video from Benn, but pretty annoying to watch you interrupt it to make dumb comments like “I’ve never heard of these” or calling RDJ’s music too weird.
@@crnkmnky I hear ya...but it just doesnt sound like music to me, maybe video game soundtrack? & there are lots of gamers, digital Punks? speed freaks? Even if I took loads of drugs I'd rather something else. Or Music to piss off mum & dad or the neighbors.
@@beatskool101 I've never heard any of it besides "Flim," so I won't knock it. What do you think of Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Wendy Carlos, and Brian Eno?
@@crnkmnky I like Ambient it's much easier to listen to though there is too much to listen to. Although I hardly ever listen to the first three, Hania Rani over Carlos(but not spent much time listening to Carlos), even Eno hardly gets any play I like his Remix of EBTG's Missing, I am putting the finishing touches on my own 1hr plus ambient track, and while I should have listened to much more music in the genre for inspiration & ideas, I kinda wanted to do my own thing, explore the sound waves of my own choice (I've had a big gap of listening to any music especially new stuff), I like Chill Out stuff Telepopmusic, Bliss, Air, Bent, old Goldfrapp, De-Phazz, Yello, Shpongle :), Sylvian, & back in the day lots of Numan but hardly ever now, and many others, some old rave & house ....Even ambient though can be boring, you really have to be in full listening mode to get the most out of the production
Video was just another excuse for Benn jordan to kind of overstate something. Yeah he used pro tracker but there’s tricks to make it easier and 98 percent of his stuff is over 2 bar loops sometimes with a b part .

The Dillinger Escape Plan did "Come to Daddy" cover on their "Irony Is A Dead Scene" EP, with no other than Mike Patton on vocals :)

Metasynth should adapt Weaver Beats line in their marketing copy: "Find out what your face sounds like! It's actually kind of dope". Lol
i used to talk to Frankie of Frankie Bones on myspace
"Everything after windowlicker confused me" drukqs, and syro are confusing? the cheetah ep is confusing? (drukqs is a bit confusing but what is that statement lol.. arguably he has way easier music to digest after windowlicker lol)
you made a video with "Benn" - you get to call him "BENN" and you did call him benn the ENTIRE viDEo lol
I knew Ben was into hardcore/metalcore, or just a 2000’s core kid….

I felt the same way when he said he was on tour with Dillinger. What a crowd that must have been.
This is like a Max for Live device on steroids
Also I was half joking to myself about excel spreadsheet, that second program literally was a spreadsheet. Bruh
weaver has anyone ever told you that you have an 8th graders sense of humor
Tbf I think he knows this and is more than willing to trade on and profit from it.
@@adamsmith7058 kinda cringe esp the part about "the f word"
Recycle was the shit!!!

Polynomial C. Awesome tune. 😊
Best song in his catalogue, lifechanging
Ooh... ReCycle. That's been a bit
You might be wrong. Listen to The Tuss "Rushup Edge LP". His finest work (in my opinion)..Very accessible, and just so damn great.

Their drummer kinda makes sense.
Pro tracker my first daw on a PC anyway

yeah, but what if you made sounds with these and then brought them into your daw...
I'm confused you can use this in your DAW already?
@@dffgffffffdddddddddd really?
My favorite : Caustic Window. Too weird? No such thing. Music should be insane, and creative.
Favorite is Windowlicker the 33bpm vinyl version, it's way better!! If you have it on vinyl and slow it down yourself even better. But I prefer Tipper
Tipper!
Photosounder, is a great spectral synth
Pretty cool when you can get it working right. Harmor can do a lot of this stuff, more reliably for me.
I recommend "Rubber Johnny" (for wierdness...)
syro is next level
"It's more like 'Programming' than making music"... Yeah, maybe! But now you have to define what "making music" is... 🤷♂
"Neeerd, Nerd Shit" lol
SquarePusher
It’s not overly complicated
Bit disappointed that you didn't react on software that's called "Cool Edit Pro"
Ya'll talk as if Richard was dead
i love r4id
Metasynth is pretty expensive and Mac only :)
Metasynth is rad
Didn’t aphex twin get sir,d that’s really crazy to me
I doubt the Royal family knows he even exists, let alone handing him a gong. Although it is an amusing thought. What would it be for? Services to the illegal street drug industry?
I click with all of them

Favourite song is *_"Tha"_* followed closely by *_"Bucephalus Bouncing Ball"_*
Who are you and what is the point in this video?
There is no such thing as "too weird" music. It's just not for you.
Coil was better
you aint cool unless you used cool edit pro
Bro you have the goofiest twitch chat that's stuck in 2009 your content isn't even "edgy" how are you attracting these people
why do you think everything is supposed to be edgy 😂 u living in 1900
Plugin police
That doesn't even make sense. It would imply that people in the 1900's are more edgier than they are now. I don't think so. @@DarkMetaOFFICIAL
Isn't that what _all_ Twitch chatrooms are like?
Awfully hypocritical edgy comment
Using a word from my kids, the gushing is incredibly cringy.
this is the only acceptable way to watch ben jordan
?
This video confirms why I never listen to aphex twin, or know anyone that would, how the F did it get so popular?
It seems like people with more adventurous ears got mindfk'd by the music, and kept paying it forward. 🤷🏿

No, just no.
