Hey, this was a good interview.
Considering Richard's tendency to answer quizzically
this interview came off as honest and real.
As a funny side note here's an excerpt that addresses a question
brought up on this list several months ago (do the artists know about their
music being used in certain commercials?)
Not surprisingly, considering its challenging, provocative style, Aphex
Twin's music gets used a lot on TV whenever the subject is confrontational
or disturbing. "It's always on programmes about surgery, or rapists, or
paedophilia, or murder, or war," he says. "It's like, 'I'm glad that's how
you see me!' But that's better than it being used on some cooking or DIY
programme." It has been used on adverts for Pirelli and Orange - is there
anything he wouldn't allow his music to advertise? "Only private health," he
replies. "I've said no to that. If it's against my morals, I won't do it."
So that's two for two - thanks people for posting these
interview links to the list. I learn much more about these artists
from their interviews then from all the maddness on the IDM-L
Take it easy....
