I've said it on WATMM, but I feel like I have to say this here too- this interview really made me lose a big amount of respect I had for Richard

I felt like that in the beginning, but now I'm all good. Its weird he's so open and naked now after all these years of super secret, getting to know more about a legend like this is bound to have some awkward differences with the own imagination.

whoa... yeah! he is being transparent, so refreshing to get an interview like this, I guess that makes sense since his friend is interviewing. I think it's cool they left the language and spelling unedited too

this whole answer gives such an awesome context to the record... I have also had similar experiences on LSD

".. what am i supposed to do now?[deprogrammed] its pretty scary..and thought oh maybe i would play... like music.. to enjoy?]
I was in quite a desperate/seeking state and they all sounded so bad, the brutal truth, pointless and totally boring, i saw how i kind of invented/made up a fantasy about things i liked, kind of tricking and lying to myself that it was good so i could feel nice&comfy, anyway I thought there must be something good to fucking listen to... and I found it , it was turning my amp and eq up on maximum and I mean maximum and spinning the radio dial backwards and forwards, [it was a nice weighted one] , I was totally emotionless when I was doing it [

] and I thought...hmmm yeah thats ...kind of alright, then my speakers blew up.
But in the back of my mind now, many years l8r I can choose to remember the feeling of everything anyone ever does creatively is actually terrible, the only comforting thought I can get like that is , well rocks can't make beats or something, ha , so that's kind of good, i don't knw wtf I'm going on about...jeez.
anyway
awhile after my girlfriend tried to comfort me, as i musta looked in a bit of a state, she stroked my arm and all I could think was, why is there a skeleton with a blood circulatory system moving up n down on my skeleton with another blood circulatory system! [absolute deprogrammed to fuk]
it was confusing I knew I was supposed to feel something but didn't and when I saw my girlfriend get upset, 4 a split second I 'felt bad' and said I was sorry I dunno what I'm supposed to do..like a kind of remnant of emotion just flicked back for half a second.
what a tangent..yeah its cold microdot vibe basically, ha"

i bet usb sticks don't last long, I've no idea, not looked into it but bet its hardly anything and nowhere ask long as vinyl.
How about people who store music in a stupid sound cloud? ha what a joke, like leaving all your records around someones house you never met and expecting them to be there still when you get back,

"Another thing I read on ytube about 1 of my traks was ' this is art not music' ! Ha they meant to be nice but I think this reflects how a lot of people see music these days as some kind of utility that just does expected things, its very, very sad, sad shit., spiritually lowest point of humanity vibes..
But it doesnt mean we all have to think like that...thing is in a better world reality, creative acts would be considered the most important, not who makes the most money or who is good looking.
Its why we are here imo, I often say to people who get depressed as I never do,
you need to be either loving/caring, creating or learning, then you will be fine."

k...theres a statement. now where is the validation?

i think it was interesting, and him having a bit of fun at the same time. who knows whats real and whats not. isnt that kinda his vibe? its the most ive seen said by any of these guys.
it was fun to read at least. + a couple cool old samples in there.

this interview honestly made me more appreciative of Aphex Twin ... and inspiration to think outside conventions.

The bits about him probably/maybe/possibly lying/not lying about having a wife and kids and all that shit... Is just so fun and intriguing to me.

Who is this man?!

What/who exactly am I a rabid fan of?

Music and mischief above all.

Some amazing modular experiments that he shared on soundcloud! Also it took me several hours to read it all..Made some interesting points about music in general, beside all that technical wankery, which was exciting to read anyway, imagine my self diving in to all that...but I like that he sharing all of that and you can explore it how much you want

last answer....that the interview was handled by a friend of his, nothing said by RDJ this time.

true or false?

i would think this interview to be true as warp linked it.
i hope i didn't spend all that time reading this only to find i wasted time.
