the idea of the speed was i did the math to find the speeds for which the pitches are shifted down to a different set of tones in standard tonality. so you can slow something to those speeds without removing the pitches from standard tonality. though richard prefers microtuning, so they probably weren't in ST in the first place. the speeds came from another project where i thought the artist put out songs sped up, and i wanted to find the original speeds.

I like the original better, but this version is the reason I like the original version so much. It helps me hear all the detail. That said this version has its own emotional qualities that you can't hear elsewhere. I just love the fast rdj stuff. So beautiful.
Ell Bee BoC was never trying to be crazy. They’ve always tried to evoke feeling, atmospheres and nostalgia with a more chilled out (sometimes sinister) sound
This floods our minds with memories lost. Memories both forgotten, and entirely nonexistent beforehand. We feel weird, but this feels lovely at the same time. We suppose it's nice.

I read a comment in which someone that he's making/made his songs, so that they still sound good when you slow them down. It seems to work best on vinyl players
@@jokokusnuss I think he is actually slowing them down to program the more complicated parts and then speeding them back up again. Most complex patterns sound great slowed down - I used to play my drum n bass records slow and they became something else.
The more I listen to slowed down Aphex Twin, the more I'm unable to wrap my head around how he made those tracks. The musicality in the beats alone are outstanding, I wonder how it's like to percieve music as RDJ does.
I can't seem to find the article now, but I do believe I remember reading that when he produces tracks he initially starts to mix them at a lower bpm and then later on increases it to give the track more "liveliness."
I thought the slowed down version was played for the first time at Funkhaus (Berlin) in 2018. Thanks for the info I’ll go check if there’s a live recording somewhere of his performance at Ilosaarirock!
It just goes to show RDJ’s technical detail, it’s like each arrangement plays off one another yet is equally independent and the track still sounds cohesive, master work
These minute details are so hard to miss. Some of these feel like they are not even slowed down at all and are going at normal speeds. Some of them I have noticed because I've heard this song a million times but it just gives credit to the drum arranging, instrumentation, sound design yadda yadda yadda
Not exactly drum and bass drums. No amen break . Basically the amen break is that kick drum on the 1st beat and the snare on the 3rd. That same kick snare pattern in 99% of dnb. Aphex twin always had IDM drums and with his own syncopated style and almost breaks like drums
Makes the optimum lounge music with details for music lovers if slowed down. Should be played in bars so you can take your girlfriend and still enjoy. Agree with with others about the details revealed. R D James was in class of his own. Can't begin to contemplate the hows of producing these x number of years ago
It's as though there's some significantly specific purpose to having it be 62.996% particularly.

Only aphex is so good at making tracks that you can even get other tracks just by slowing down.

are you familiar with the entire genre of vaporwave
thats the concept autechre uses too
nah most songs are like that
you can reconstruct the song if you turn the speed on youtube up to 1.5834x
this is literally the peak of electronic music
2:30 best part he really breaks it down detailing the feeling here
I can never get bored of this track :)
same
early linkin park , dj hahn would totally jammin

これはすげ〜！
ピッチ下げただけでまるで別物

Translation:
Wow this is amazing!
Just by lowering the pitch it's like a completely different thing
Very cool!
of course the drum programming is remarkable, but his melodies/chords are always so emotional

How gradual it is makes the ride some much more rising and climactic , it's a nice speed right there
yes.
Heard him play a slowed down version of Vordhosbn in Ilosaarirock back in 2011 but i'm pretty sure it was 72.865%

close, it should be played at 84% (or -16% to be precise)
It just goes to show RDJ’s technical detail, it’s like each arrangement plays off one another yet is equally independent and the track still sounds cohesive, master work

What if vordhosbn was made slower and then sped up?
it probably is, RDJ said himself that a lot of his music is made in 33rpm and then sped up to 45rpm
@@yamingoat It makes sense especially on a lot of DrukQs tracks tbh
@@yamingoat i did not know that
the originals are around 66.6 percent the speed of most vinyl versions, tracks needed to be faster to fit on disks

just think about how different his whole vibe could be just by different decisions on tempo and pitch
This is heaven..

This got me ded 💀 🤣 😭

dude this is so cool WTF
this is the grooviest fucking thing ive ever heard, and only like 500 drum samples
Do you mean that Richard really used 500 drum samples here?
This slaps like your parents telling you you're adopted.
actual genius
fun fact the real vorshosbn is actually sped up from 33rpm to 45rpm, idk if this is exactly it but it may be close to sounding like the original
what's the source of that info? 45 to 33 1/3 would be -25.926 percent change.
Haven't listened to the original for a while but this sounds like a totally different song
Sounds like it would almost just fit in Portal
It sounds like an against all logic song
Just what I was looking for
Standard Aphex Twin tune, a good one at that. Cheers
hymn of my life
I like this groove more than the 33rpm one. Can’t go wrong with the original of course too
