The music Philosophy I learned from Aphex Twin

  Music can be more than just something nice to listen , The Philosophy I learned from Aphex Twin  Have you ever felt like you're plugged into a machine?  Like you're a bunch of circuits and wires, just going through the motions?  Aphex Twin's music often feels like that—a raw, unfiltered glimpse into the gears of existence. It's not always pretty, but it's undeniably powerful. Think of it like this: imagine a world where music isn’t just melody and rhythm, but a landscape of sonic glitches and fractured beats. That's the world Richard D. James, the man behind Aphex Twin, invites you to explore. It's a place where familiar sounds are twisted and turned into something new, something unexpected, sometimes unsettling. It's like he’s taking apart a clock, not to fix it, but to understand what makes it tick, and then rebuilding it in a brand new form. Some say his music is a reflection of a deep-seated pessimism, that he sees humanity as just “water and elect...

Karlheinz Stockhausen , Father of Electronic Music?

Image
“He is known for his groundbreaking work in electronic music, having been called the father of electronic music.” — Wikipedia Before we call someone “the father” of a genre, it’s worth asking, what does father really mean? In the Oxford Dictionary, it goes like this: “A person, esp. a ruler or superior, who provides protecting care like that of a father; a person who shows paternal kindness, or to whom filial reverence and obedience are due.” Did he provide those qualities for electronic music? After reading Stockhausen on Music compiled by Robin Maconie , I believe he did. His lectures are astonishing, ideas far ahead of their time. Even now, decades later, many of his concepts remain unexplored. It feels as if he’s still ahead of us. Caution: Once you begin reading this post, let go of the barriers society or peers have placed on you. Let your own mind be the master. The best way I can serve electronic musi...
