In this lecture series, we're going to explore in depth the incredible music of Aphex Twin. I'll be playing snippets of the key tracks and talking about their musical composition, structure, chords, melodies, sound design, equipment used, and impact.
Questions welcome! This will be an interactive lecture.
You will also get to meet other people who share a love of Aphex Twin's music.
I've been studying and transcribing Aphex Twin's music for years now. Since 2023 I've been uploading a series of videos to YouTube with some of my discoveries, including but not limited to:
- interesting structures that don't reveal themselves easily
- unusual chords and modes
- background harmonies that aren't very obvious
- beautiful bass lines
- rhythmically complex drum patterns
In this session we'll focus on the years 1996 to 1998, which includes an incredible amount of music including:
- Come To Daddy EP
- Richard D James Album
- Windowlicker
Note: all participants will receive a link to the video afterwards, so if you miss the event you can watch the playback.
