Features / Miscellaneous “It’s a psychological overload”: Weirdcore on creating Aphex Twin’s live visuals

The mystery that surrounds Aphex Twin is like no other, outside and within electronic music, a genre he has shaped over the past 20 years. A man of 18 different pseudonyms, the rumours that surround Richard D. James are absurd but often true. It is difficult to name another artist who encourages such hearsay as to whether he lives in a box structure on the Elephant and Castle roundabout, when he was actually living in abandoned bank office. He’s a musician who announces upcoming albums via blimps flying over London or by hiding a track list in a deep web server, an innovator across all aspects of his creative output. It comes as no surprise, the visuals of Aphex Twin have evolved with the increased sophistication of technology.

The end result is a portfolio of projects “utilising new technologies to shape tomorrow’s visual and spatial experiences”.

Sponsored / Miscellaneous Unlock your potential with creative classes from Skillshare

We’d all love the opportunity to learn new skills, fine tune old ones or get proper advice from working creatives directly. But when we take into consideration limitations like time, money and accessibility, these aspirations seem too lofty to achieve. But fear not, for this is where Skillshare comes into play as the online learning community open to everyone who wants to take or teach a class within the creative, business and technology industries.
