Aphex Twin reveals studio process in new behind-the-scenes video
Richard D. James, known as Aphex Twin, has released a video on his Vimeo channel showing the creative process behind "Vordhosbn," a track from his 2001 double album "Drukqs" (Warp Records). The video highlights his use of the free software Player Pro for music production. This release follows a pattern of online activity: in 2015, he opened a mysterious Soundcloud account (user4873635300) offering over 100 free tracks from his youth; in June 2017, his live set at London's Field Day Festival was streamed via NTS Radio, Facebook, and YouTube. Most recently, he redesigned his official website. The Irish musician, born in Limerick in 1971, has long used the web as an experimental territory for both creative output and promotion, often collaborating with Chris Cunningham to build his iconic image.
