  • I compiled every single piano song I could find by Aphex Twin. I always wanted a calm playlist of his music, so here's what I've made. Hopefully there are some songs you haven't heard yet :)

    I was sitting in my Kia Picanto with my 90 year old mum, eating an ice cream, by The Rivet Ouse in Ely, Cambs. A guy walked by wearing an Aphex Twin t-shirt and I wound down the window and greeted him with a point at his shirt. 2022 highlight.

      Interestingly it's an example of some of his work where he programmed a midi device to play the notes on a piano via a mechanical device, which is why it sounds both simple and robotic at the same time. Quite innocent in a way. And a lot more complex to produce than otherwise initially thought.

      Back in the day I bought this album (druqs) on release day. One of the first things that stood out to me was the mechanical noises Avril 14th. I loved that he put those sounds in there because it makes it more intimate and pure like you are there sitting next to the piano. I didn't realise at the time it was played by a midi controlled machine. Nevertheless, genius piece.

    Sending big hugs and thanks from Dublin 🇮🇪 for this brilliant upload 😉👌 ... Richard really is a genius, mellow tracks, melodic bouncy tunes, chaotic ear bleeding belters, and everything in between, he is a master of the lot... From the days of me discovering his music, I think it was while watching MTV Chill Out Zone during my earliest clubbing years (I'll be 49 this year), the years when I happily spent close to all of my wages getting a decent (physical) music collection together, to today, where we can all mostly find whatever music we are searching for in an instant, I still listen to his music more than any other artists I like. Also, what fan can't like an artist who dumps some absolute amazing gems onto Soundcloud for all to enjoy... ❤ 🔊

    This music is extraordinary. Minimalist, soundscape gemstones. Each and every one of them. Echo's of Erik Satie and Brian Eno. As a sidenote, Aisatsana (Anastasia?) reminded me of Viola Martinsson's Made Of- used for a Volvo commercial. My favorite track is Petiatil cx htdui.Thanks for this. ❤

    To think, there are people whose life work is to make music like this and there are people whose life work is to make weapons. Be like Aphex Twin.

    I love Aphex Twin. The songs remind of AI generated art but in musical form if that makes sense.

      Not sure if I can….it’s like a song that has been processed through a GAN (Generative Adversarial Network), given a particular text prompt to modify the original tune.

      many of these tracks are played on instruments controlled by midi sequenced computer programs. Perhaps it's that robotic element of the music that you're picking up on.
