More quotes by Aphex Twin
It sounds really arrogant, but my music's my favourite music ever. I prefer it to anyone else's.
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
The best musicians or sound-artists are people who never considered themselves to be artists or musicians.
Aphex Twin
Can't really despise people you don't know.
Aphex Twin
It's only interesting when you're from somewhere else, like America or Japan. The further away the more interesting it is.
Aphex Twin
I'm a really good hacker, but I'm not a sensible person.
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
When you get new rules that work, you're changing the physiology of your brain. And then your brain has to reconfigure itself in order to deal with it.
Aphex Twin
I actually prefer it if I don't know what I'm supposed to do. If you've got an equal temperament piano keyboard, then you know what you're going to get if you play certain chords. But I actually like it if you don't know where the notes are, because then you do it intuitively. You're working out a new language, basically. New rules.
Aphex Twin
You change all the time. Everything changes you.
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 got a feeling I had loads when I was in primary school, 'cause I had red hair you know, like Duracell.
Aphex Twin
My filing system's really crap because I can never decide whether to sort things by studio, or year, or where I lived.
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
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
There's a lot of melancholy in my tracks.
Aphex Twin
Because I've been making music and releasing it for so long, I've got that production-line thing in my brain: I can't do anything new until the last one's out.
Aphex Twin
If you hear a C-major chord with an equal temperament, you've heard it a million times before and your brain accepts it. But if you hear a chord that you've never heard before, you're like, huh.
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
it's more interesting for me to stick things out anonymously. You get more of an honest reaction to what you've done.
