More quotes by Aphex Twin
I'm a quite erratic person: From setups to actually when I'm doing a track, it's just turning and switching and changing all the time.
Aphex Twin
Sometimes I just hit the keyboard in a way I'd like the rhythm of the tracks to sound.
Aphex Twin
I'm just some irritating, lying, ginger kid from Cornwall who should have been locked up in some youth detention centre. I just managed to escape and blag it into music.
Aphex Twin
That's just globalization. It's got good sides as well. But scenes aren't allowed to develop on their own anymore. Everyone knows about everything.
Aphex Twin
The holy grail for a music fan, I think, is to hear music from another planet, which has not been influenced by us whatsoever.
Aphex Twin
In America, it's quite admirable if someone's done well or been successful at whatever it is. Whereas in Britain, they're not. They only like it when you're the underdog.
Aphex Twin
When I look at commercial studios, I think, Oh, they're all so nice and tidy, but it's because they don't actually write music in them.
Aphex Twin
It's quite similar to guitar solos, only with programming you have to use your brain. The most important thing is that it should have some emotional effect on me, rather than just, 'Oh, that's really clever.'
Aphex Twin
In Britain, it's good for me to be anonymous, because they just think it's a nobody. Who is this guy?
Aphex Twin
A lot of composers before me have been on this mission to change the world by getting off equal temperament, and I'm definitely one of those.
Aphex Twin
I got a feeling I had loads when I was in primary school, 'cause I had red hair you know, like Duracell.
Aphex Twin
Can't really despise people you don't know.
Aphex Twin
If it takes you three years to set up a studio, and you've made one track with that setup, then the logical thing to do is not change anything and just do another one using the same set of sounds.
Aphex Twin
I've always got to change something. All the tracks I've done in the last five years were made in like six different studios. It gets a bit complicated.
Aphex Twin
I'm a really good hacker, but I'm not a sensible person.
Aphex Twin
It sounds really arrogant, but my music's my favourite music ever. I prefer it to anyone else's.
Aphex Twin
You're brainwashed in the West with equal temperament, so it's quite hard for people who like following rules to get outside of that and see what you can do. But for me it's easy because I don't work like that. I work intuitively.
Aphex Twin
Well, I just bought a massive bank and I've moved into it on my own.
Aphex Twin
The best musicians or sound-artists are people who never considered themselves to be artists or musicians.
Aphex Twin
The best artists are people who don't consider themselves artists, and the people who do are usually the most pretentious and annoying. They've got their priorities wrong. They're just doing it to be artists rather than because they want to do it.
