- Talking about the On video, amongst other things. From late 1993/early 1994.
If you want to comment on use of the word "The" in this clip, I suggest you maybe concern your day with more pressing issues, nerd!
Enjoy this man while he's here, one day he will return to his home planet, and we will miss him dearly.
do you really think that he's capable of that? he'll live here forever,
Sus
Not with me, he won't. He's in my soul.
@@faithestherr The bloke is timeless. He has been in my life for 30 years. I can play a track every night, all year, and love them all.

Totally spinal tap

@M00- HAM-HEAD 0:58
@M00- HAM-HEAD all of it lmaoo
@M00- HAM-HEAD like sleeping 30mins a day bruh
@@NOIXize there was this guy on youtubes ted talks talking bout sleeping 2 hs, few, like 4-5 years ago
Ye rem phase and such
@M00- HAM-HEAD the whole goddamn thing. This interview is funny af
1:55 that appearing and disappearing Richard always gets me.
It's his twin
The double Richard is so funny
The way he just says "Ye!"
"I'd rather annoy people. I get a bit scared when people start dancing and getting into it." 😂😂😂😂
😍
I get it, is too boring and looks like a fake party when everything is perfect
That honestly seems like one of the few times he aint lying
this interview feels like a fever dream
00:52 Richard's trademark lies lmao
Imagine sleeping 30 minutes a day.
hahaha totally lying
haha , just like Kramer
okay I was suspicious
Of course I listen to The Aphex Twins
Oh yeah which is your favorite twin than ‼️
@@MousaMovies Richie C Jones
@@buried4430 yeah he is cool but the aphex twins wouldnt be the same withough Dick B Jamey
@@MousaMovies Pritchard T Jams
My favorite is Robert E Wilson
I smoke the pots when I listen to the Aphex twins.
me too and its work like a charm in my mind
the plant pots or the yoghurt pots?
"Got it down to 2 hours a night and then half an hour" lmao I love his blatant interview lies 😂 total straight face he does it so well
half hour of sleep a night? Lmao this dude is a master at story telling.
@@dylankars8448 thank you
Philip Glass even said he did it
@@Demention94 then he's in on the joke too
Sleeping is important folks, really is
Aphex Tweak ;)
God you can tell how much he hates interviews
yeah, you can really tell he feels uncomfortable doing this interview
@@lostmedia-e6p Yeh, you can definitely tell he's not comfortable with interviews
@@ThePageNo1 i wonder if he was uncomfortable doing this interview, it kinda seems obvious though
@@lostmedia-e6p I think it's fair to say that he was probably uncomfortable during this interview
Please guys don't get it twisted. He's not comfortable with interviews, it's pretty hard not to notice that.
1:57 i died
"i don't know i just made it up"
why did he disappear?
The smile when interviewer asked him about meaning of Aphex Twin

2:00
This is the dreamiest interview I've ever seen. The juxtaposition of his disconnect and the visual effects. And perhaps the fact that it's him. Just perfect. I've never found a video with the same quality of dreaminess.
Lol its like the interviewer stumbled upon him during astral projection and richard is like, well, shit. I guess lets do this interview.
Including Richard appearing and disappearing 1:55
Still remember the bit of software he wrote for the ZX81 that turned it into a keyboard. Absolute legend, this was back in about 82/83 he was still a schoolboy then as was I. Blew my mind that you could get sound out of the '81 let alone utilize it as a musical instrument.
Love to see that in action. Guy's a genius
It's mad because the ZX 81 didn't have a sound chip.
@@matthewgregory2106 thats what made it so impressive!
@@booldawg deluded aphex fanboys are funny
This looks like something your science teacher would put on and make you write notes about it.
The sleep revaluation was hilarious. 'I got it down to half an hour'. Brilliant.
Let's not forget The Depeche Mode, The The Doors, The The Other Two, and last but not least, one of my personal favorite bands, The The The.
What about the the who?
this has a very spinal tap feel to it
2:05 is interesting because richard really believes his brother co-creates his music from another dimension. you can see it when he answered the „silly question“ very seriously
WHAT??? CAN I PLEASE HAVE PROOF I NEED THIS TO BE TRUE LMAO
@@aden2276 When asked in 1996 about the Boy/Girl EP cover showing his brother's grave marker, he said that he sees his brother as guardian angel and inspires his music. This I remember from a late 90's FAQ website that does not exists anymore
@@socalltd WATMM forums?
@@k-yo Back in 1998 or so there was a site with all these questions about the releases and aliases around certain tracks. I wish I could remember the exact name
of it. What is WATTMM?
Jesus christ this man is my hero. I sleep for half an hour, I dream up my music, I only release records to make money so that I can make more music, I have different't aliases to weed out the money mongers, I like to annoy people with my live music, I hate fans, oh and I hate this interview just so you know.
Well he's monged your head out good and proppa.
@@herpsmaltwatta .
He doesnt hate fans, he dislikes groupies. There is a difference.
Awesome! Sounds like he made you a miserable person
I can’t believe no one else got this joke
"The Aphex Twin"
I like it it sounds fun
Very smart and humble guy. I saw Aphex live back in the day. He was completely absent on stage, just had a huge skinhead guy dancing like a maniac to the tunes for who knows how long, I just sat in the upstairs gallery tripping my balls off. Good times 👍🏼
The skinhead is Paul Nicholson, who designed the aphex logo
Love RDJ. I love his attitude to interviews and showbiz fake shit.
I love how he just lies constantly in interviews and even contradicts his own lies.
bruh same, he's a troll like us anons, he's one of us no doubt. rdj pepe incoming?
@@vertsk8er419 just cause he likes to fuck with the media doesn't mean he's a part of you cringe cult lmao
@@greentaigo2552 ok bud, i'm pretty sure RDJ knows what's up with meme magic bro. PRAISE KEK
@@vertsk8er419 thats different from being a part of 4chans cringe cult that stopped being taken seriously in 2014
@@vertsk8er419 take meds plz
lol at the people weirded out by the old school definite article placement before "Aphex Twin."
"yeah it does the job"..ha
1993 damn. I was 4 years old back then. I started listening to RDJ at 17 years old, but feels like all my life
his face is so strange, it looks so different each time I see it, yet it's immediately recognizable
100%. I thought it was just me. He can be better looking or worse looking. He also just so happens to like to distort his face too.
Richard was ahead of his time pioneering the insomnia of the youth today
Once you realize that you don’t have to sleep, your mind goes 🤯 wide open
Top Tier Reference
Yeah you'll loose your mind
🐑
The Legend. The man. The myth. The Apex.
The twin
I'm glad I discovered Aphex Twin a long time ago
You mean The Aphex Twins
1:55 im dying dude lmaaaaao
Funnily enough, I have nights I sleep so deeply because of pure exhaustion and yet I can hear such good harmonies in my mind in my sleep. This has happened on many occasions too. I can see how he gets inspiration in his sleep
You should try doing music
Same ! But very rarely
the "a" at the end lmao
a
so ahead of his time this couldve easily been an interview from 1999 cuz easily most music during that time though great , sounds super dated now . one of my greatest influences, thank you Aphex Twin
Sounds like someone could use some sleep. ;)
2:05 lets make a flippant remark about a guy's dead brother.
I felt that in his answers
Dang I didn’t know Richard made all his own instruments? That includes all the Roland gear? I thought that was a whole huge Japanese corporation, guess I was wrong.
Clown.
I know he makes/tinkers with his gear a bit but I wouldn’t say he « makes all his own instruments ».
@@caseystu123 agree
He has made some instruments and tried to make a sampler at one point but it never worked and just made weird noises he sampled later, top tip about music journalists, they will believe and promote anything you tell them as long as it sounds more interesting than reality.
@@350125GOW what
"SUSSING people out"
"The Aphex Twin"
Attenborough.
true fucking legend right here...
He seems like a real proper genuine guy.
Thanks for sharing! 7\
0:41 THE face
Here it's cute though
Love the On ep. One of the first Aphex releases I bought back in the early 90's so it will always remind me of how fresh that whole era was.
On is so fuckin good
Everytime this guy says "The Aphex Twin" I get one inch closer to snapping
lol
people are just obsessed with adding "the" to things, really
Hahahahahahahahahha, I love it, what a nube!
Is that all it takes to annoy you? For me i hated his annoying ‘the lisp’
That was his alias in the early days
Reminds me of "The Google"
Drugs had 0 influence on any of his music.. he even said it in one of his interviews somewhere. "You must have had some days where you were under the influence pretty hardcore from the feelings behind some of the tracks". "I dont believe in influence, life and reality i think are already there, youre just saturated in a certain area of your mind at various times, what is done to move to other areas is not influenced or motivated to do so, you just simply have to know the right path to take to get where you think you want to be."
Insert the sound of brain matter smacking the ground... cuz mind blown.. and the best ways of saying self medicating over "doing drugs".. lol
I enjoy coming back once In a while to watch this.
He seems like he just makes music as a hobby and somehow he just got famous along the way. I always wondered if he was autistic. He doesn't seem to like people, and is very technical. That also explains why his ambient stuff is so unearthly, this guys brain is in a dream state by design. Legend.
He's really charming ngl
Gay.
@@phreak761 I'm a girl, but very gay too indeed
@@agatac5594 Lesbian.
@@phreak761 exactly!
@@agatac5594 Bi.
I get the feeling the interviewer would rather listen to The Pink Floyd. I've heard he also likes The Prince.
Nowadays he loves cardi b
He wouldve probably been a big fan of TheFacebook had they stuck with that
Whats wrong with pink and prince?
@@archivehans op is taking the piss out on the interviewer because he keeps saying "The Aphex Twin" and not just "Aphex Twin".
@@oil.9 richard was referred to as “the aphex twin” in the early 90s
Aphex Twin is so awesome musician, a legend.
0:41 Awww such a cute smile and such a handsome man. ❤️🥰
gotta love 'the aphex twin'
Who doesn’t love aphex twink?
apex twang
ap tw 🤤
Damn how much did mtv love his music
This man is taking control of the drum machine.
"Is it a misconception that there is another aphex twin somewhere playing with his keyboards?"
*yep*
man of work
Once I fell asleep listening to blue calx, rhubarb, polynomial c, and those songs played in my dreams. Everytime I listen to those songs now, I think of the dreams I had and those songs bring me memories of the dreams.
I remember a few years ago I bumped into Richard somewhere in Cornwall. He's tall.
I love this man
This made me realize I was missing the “on” ep. thanks so much
....reminds me of a nice musician that once lived .....Syd Barrett
Acid took that boy away from us
I can’t believe they got this footage of the Aphex twin
Genius
Been listening since the early 90's. It was a long dry spell after New Wave in the 80's.
The Cocteau Twin
omg the half an hour sleep quote is absolutely brilliant
He just fucks around in interviews like Bob Dylan does 🤣
"Not that i know of"
That's one of the fucking best endings to an interview i've seen.
Rack mount effects unit .Aphex, twin channel Aural exciter model b . made in 1975 ,Ive got one
I had to scroll way too far in the comments to find this. When he said he just made it up, I was like, nahhh, Aphex Systems buddy..
"I don't like making records, I just do it so I don't have to get a job so I can spend more time making music"
Wow! Wonderful find. Thanks!
thanks for sharing
Absolute genius!💎
The interview is edited to look hallucinatory and all that jazz but I love how Richard D's banality about his music and unwillingness to go along with it breaks the idea to pieces.
I love him too much ❤
My fella Thom saw this interiew and straight up said FUCK IT we an avantgarde electronic noise group now
Yan bili fan del IDM
Serious Chris Morris vibes.
Got it down to half an hour 😂
He would reach far and wide for inspiration. Delving into delirium for access to other parts of your mind is what I would call comitted to your craft.
my favourite band is the aphex twins
1:11 "aegispolis"
sleep? who needs that....ounce of good speed and you are sorted for whole week or two
Excellent vid! :-)
SUSSING PEOPLE OUT 😭😭😭😭
My Aspergerdar is going "ping ping ping" (takes one to know one?)
Ahhh... "On"... the tune that got me into Aphex Twin in the early 90:ies. Through MTV no less :D.
This might actually be the most straight-forward, non-trolling interview I've seen of the man ;D. "I don't like making records, I do it so I don't have to get a real job" :D.
“I can suss out who’s in it for the music and who’s in it for the money”
Then goes on to say “I don’t like making records, I just do it so i don’t have to get a job”
So I guess you were looking for the ones who are in it for the money
He said he doesn't want to get a job SO HE CAN MAKE MUSIC! He Likes making music but not releasing records, meant he isnt in it to get rich but rather to make a living doing what he enjoys
@@swishyfish325 nah hes trolling the interviewer
@brass monkey trolling is a word given to a particular type of behavior. The word is roughly 13-14 years old but the behavior is nothing new
I love this guy
The Aphex Twin!
1993: innovative technological genius musician dragged into TV studio against his will.
2021: talentless Instagram DJs dragged into music recording studios against their will.
Sleeping half an hour a night and not dropping dead....sounds like me in the ninth grade.
This is from when MTV was still standing for something...look what it has become :(
I didn’t even know there was a 1993 😮
He was 22 here
Wow just a kid
Aint no way
Richard probably naps so often
Well yeah he’s an Introvert
genius.
He does his thing. He likes it and doesn't. Normal. I wish him the best.
