Rebuilding Aphex Twin - Ageispolis

- Had fun recreating this aphex twin track. In the spirit of the original track I used primarily hardware and recorded it to cassette. Some bits are different due to limitations of my equipment or due to creative direction :)
Inspiration provided by digiphex electronics channel: • Aphex Twin Tutorial - ...
You did so good you got claimed
wowie scams, what a surprise.
@@arjunseth8544 Woah really?!?! :O
@uriah is a SCAM guys
@@uriahcristian1715 woah this will DEFINITELY work
is there a context im missing in this reply thread?
this has always been one of my favorite bass lines
it's so good because it's all over the place in a good way which makes it not so repetitive as like a basic bassline you wouldnt think twice about
Always reminds me of Wait by C418.
This video made me admire Richard D. James even more.. How that guy made this music back in the 80's with older equipment than this, and from scratch.. Thanks!
I watched an interview of Mike Paradinas ( he collabed with AFX, they like best matez). He was saying that in the early days. They would use Atari computer and save to floppy disk. You pretty much had to complete a whole track in one day, and then record to DAT, because if you tried to save to floppy . They were so unreliable, it would either corrupt the file. Or sound completely different when you loaded it back up the next day. I so couldn't work like that. Nightmare. Massive respect to the boys back in the day.
I don't really think the programming is that extraordinary on this one, as long as you've got a reliable sequencer. The thing that makes the tune nice is rather its simplicity and the beautiful interplay of the melodic lines.
@@DigitalBard1 ok… floppies weren’t THAT unreliable…

Do I care about a comment from 2 years ago? No
@@DigitalBard1 Do you care about a comment from 6 months ago?
Love to see a boards of Canada one. This is awesome btw.
I would love to see this too! just subbed :)
Extra points for dropping it onto a TDK SA90 cassette for full "throwback" - I didnt even know they still exist nowadays
They are not made anymore, you buy old stock.
Xtal next!!!!
here's my remake: th-cam.com/video/XlIYcS9mIlM/w-d-xo.html
That bass sounds exactly like the original one. That’s incredible man!
That's actually the one thing I thought didn't sound accurate, that and the snare
aphex twin is the first to do the meme of putting reverb on your bass
Plot Twist: It was Richard all along and he made this channel secretly
richard fucks
Knowing him, that wouldn't be a real shock.
I watched an interview of Mike Paradinas ( he collabed with AFX, they like best matez). He was saying that in the early days. They would use Atari computer and save to floppy disk. You pretty much had to complete a whole track in one day, and tjen record to DAT, because if you tried to save to floppy . They were so unreliable, it would ever corrupt the file. Or sound completely different when you loaded it back up the next day. I so couldn't work like that. Nightmare. Massive respect to the boys back in the day.
Bull shit , the file would not sound different when loaded
It was just midi data
@@WARDISWARD Not my words pal. I was quoting Mike Paradinas. You'll have to take it up with him, if you think he's lying.
To be fair. Floppy were terribly unreliable. I remember Amiga games would be constantly crashing.
If I was writing music. And the only way to save was onto floppy. I think I'd be inclined to get it finished asap. And record straight to press instead.
I can send you the link to interview. Then you can here the apparently B.S. come straight from his mouth. If not then fuck off
@@DigitalBard1 I started with Noisetracker 2.0 on the Amiga 500 and it was floppies only. They don't change sound lol. It's just digital info. Maybe they had unreliable analog gear to play back the tracks on?
@Slater Slater Ah, the good old Atari ST vs. Amiga debate... I didn't think we'd ever meet again
@@WARDISWARD just midi files? Doubtful
I remade this back in 2009 using Reason, Midi, and a Korg Electribe. It sucked, this is amazing!
Does this Aphex Twin character ever sleep or does he just live to produce good music every second of his life?
bit of both
He said he "got it down" to, like, 2 hours of sleep a night. Seriously.
@@eleven9286 sometimes I wish he was like that again. Nowadays he hasn’t been making much for a while. Either that or he’s been releasing music under some new secret alias we’ve yet to find. Who knows, anything can happen with Richard. He’s crazy to be sure.
@@eleven9286 it was a joke interview. He also says some not real shit on them except if he is talking about tech stuff. He said it himself
@@hollyweb777 I second this. Heard the same thing. He trolls on his interviews apparently.
Die Antwood is so goooood. You did a good job replicating their smash hit Ugly Boy. Great work.
kidding.
I haven't heard the original in a little awhile. To my ears, this sounds exactly like the original stored in my memory. Outstanding job.
Mad props👌 for rocking the "volca beats"👍
Absolutely nailed it! 🎶 Recording it to tape was the cherry on top. Love the microbrute, it’s a versatile little synth.
Nice work! Nice reverb noise fx too, other remakes neglected that detail
Makes a video showing how to remake Ageispolis
TH-cam algorithm:
Hmm sounds a lot like you used Ageispolis. Ima claim this
Thjis rebuild is great, also really wanted to see your dog just chilling there
Absolutely amazing, I now listen to this version of Ageispolis on a regular basis because it sounds beautiful.
Love this. great great work. Shows that its not the exact gear that matters, but the fundamental waveforms and effect choices that brought us the original.
God damn it I just pawned my arena reverb pedal, now I have to get it out bc of you, thanks for the motivation
This and Silverside by Autechre are the only tracks I loved 20 years ago that I still enjoy as much today.
Well, I still need to listen to Crystal Method's High Roller in the last mile of every marathon I run...
I wish the milk man would deliver my milk ... in the mor-nin! ... that's just a guilty pleasure. And Avril 14th is only 19 years old, so that doesn't count.
This is so good. Please do more tracks from Selected Ambient Works
Brilliant cover, this is 99.9% dead on! I want to also thank you for giving the Gaia some credit, it is by far my favorite Analog Modeling synth and a lot of people don't do it justice on youtube demos and make others think it's a shitty toy. You really know how to use it well for those prophet like pad sounds I love making. You're incredibly talented and I wish I had your dedication and skill.
bro is cooking fr!!! 🗣🔥🔥🔥❗❗❗💯
1:35 Is the auditory version of 'Heaven'.
Damn, this is a really solid recreation! I've seen a lot of covers of tracks that sound weak/flimsy/corny but you have the tone dialed on this one.
Wow! So satisfying! Great job from a masterpiece by Richard
Excellent!!!! I really like that your bass isn't drowning out the rest.
Excelente! Saludos desde Argentina.
i like these drums here, it makes the sound more distinctly
love how the bass distorts and compresses thanks to the tape.
I am here to tell you that your skills are superb and that I was your 1k sub. Keep em coming bro, cheers
This is as close as you can get without actually being Richard. Very very nice 👍🏻
A fine effort sir! Throughly enjoyed this! Always enjoyed this tune so its nice to see hows it's achieved in the making of it.Best part is..I had just woken up so what a start to anyones day.Big up dude!
This is quite an impressive recreation of the original..Cheers!
giant like the ocean, endless like the universe. great performance, congratulations
That is incredibly accurate! Well done!!! You made me appreciate this track even more!
Good job, sounds close.
If TH-cam heard aphex twin in this video the cover was a success
Sounds exactly the same. Amazing job
Volca beats sounding hot in this one
so desperately needs the snare mod
@@anthroism26mc still sounds fat. that lil box has def got character, the crunchy staggered delay is a thang
Very nice, shows how little you really need in the end to make nice music. Only thing I noticed could be fixed is removing the slight silence from the start of the lazer sample, it makes it play a bit late.
Nice job. You should make a whole album of tracks that use this sound palate.
absolutely
This is my first time seeing one of your videos. Subscribed
spot on
Damn, beautiful job. One of my favorite tracks of all time.
Gaia sounds lush 👍🎛
Wow nice work. It’s like I’m listening to it for the first time.
Dude!! Awesome job
You've done well getting it like the original. Even the TH-cam content ID has picked it up!
Wow great remake of an epic song
really good job! the 808 snare would have been better
This is amazing! Wish I had these skills
I always expect this song to explode. It never does and instead I float off into space.
really excellent, rest of the album please!!
Not bad stuff - you got the grimy recording down pat with the tapes.
Respect for true recreation
Great!) may be any future sound of london track?
Happy to give you sub number 1000!
I didn't realize that die antwoord sampled aphex twin
And he photobombed there music video too.
Yeah what the hell all I could hear was Yolandi cooing when he played that.
Aw man. This is awesome. Thank you!
Nailed it man..sounds so nice !
Love this track and the ambient works albums. .. please also do xtal and pulse width
bass "mostly sine wave" haha if it was mostly sine wave there would be nothing happening when yo move the filter : D there is definitely a lot of distortion and/or other waves together : D
awesome video by the way : D
everything sounds so good and close to the original, great work!! subscribed!
I’d love to get into making electronic music but all of those parameters, knobs and cables would drive me crazy 🙈
its like the easiest shit ever haha. Just start. Get FL STUDIO and work from there. If you want hardware find an old Korg electribe.
Fantastic. Pads need to come in a little quicker - shorter attack - and the bassline is missing that huge sub note. Reckon you could have used even more saturation too! But these are all minor quibbles, f-ing so good! ✊
Oh you're nitpicking hahah! He done good
little error i noticed (which may have been intentional) is that the main synth melody is up/up/down/up rather than up/down/down/up (@4:19). cant think of a better way to describe it but if you know the song and watch this video i'm sure it'll become evident haha
he did a great job on it though, there was stuff in the mix i didnt realize was there
Hell yeah
Siiiick
Great video. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks.
amazing work
tears to my eyes man, you did it!
Content ID matched you then it's legit and awesome
@ 4 : 13 in the original a group STARTS off with a variation to kicks and a syncopated slap back on the snare that really grabs me so not sure if that is here? great UNCONVENTIONAL mixing also which has "I MAKE THE RULES AROUND HERE" written all over it. there is no I better play it safe here during mastering and how is someone going to interpret this kind of stuff= FOLK MUSIC
Very impressive dawg
Laser break. That's gotta be the syncussion.
i imagine he did not have the suncussion back then...you can do this with any synth in self oscilating mode..just crank the resonance and screw with the cutoff
RDJ used the Roland R8 drum machine with the Electronic Card for TR-808 sounds. The zap sound in question on the kit is called ‘High Q’ and is an emulation of the sound the TR-808 Accent output spits out to trigger other equipment
I would have never recognized it as a square sine, impressive ear.
Of course not, because its either a square wave OR a sine wave. Never seen a square sine xD
❤
Sublime! Fantastic job on my favourite piece of music 👍
Fantastik
Fantastic! Very Well done! 👌👏
This is sick
👍👍👍👍👍
12/10
Sweet......
Yeah!
Thanks. I’m hoping to understand how to make this music one day
Really well made
very good
Great job, truly enjoyed it
I really enjoyed this
super awesome space jam!
The pad in the original is a little detuned down, but other than that it sounds great! I'm no music producer or anything, just something I noticed.
phenomenal 👏
Pretty class.
Nice.....very chill.
Crisp AF!
bravo 👏
A sterling job, beautiful reincarnation
nice setup!
