Aphex Twin - Fenix Funk 5 (HQ)

[@infraredradiator]

What type of fucking genius decided to modulate reverb!? This fucking man. Truly every aspect of music production is used as a beat. Mind boggling. Imagine having the capability to put a beat to fucking static.

[@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole]

I always wished someone would ask Vince Clarke (Erasure) what he thought of Aphex Twin. Given that Clarke almost exclusively creates his sounds from scratch on analog synths.

[@possiblymaybe.]

this track is just so beautiful man.. I cant even explain how it just effects me every time. 0:19 The robot part mixed with the drum beat makes me feel invincible, unstoppable, on the verge of greatness! 1:31 When the slow harpsichord part comes in it reminds me of how fragile life is and how peculiar everything is, 1:46 when the robot part comes back its like a "everything IS fragile and peculiar BUT FUCK IT! LETS DANCE!"

[@YarbTheLegend]

I decided to go with some newer Richard just to shake things up a bit. I also just finished adding a Classics playlist to my channel. Will be back with more uploads soon. . . later guys : )

[@e.a1877]

As far as electronic music goes - shit, as far as Aphex’s discography goes - this is (in my opinion) one of the most well organised, well structured orchestrations to exist. The layering is nothing short of exquisite. Sonically, this is a thousand-hour, handwoven Persian rug, constructed with the finest fibres known to man - not some cheap, machine made (the irony!) replication. With Fenix Funk I find that, with each listen, I explore a separate pocket of sound, some channel of reverb that seems purposefully there, or the joyful location of a synth springing in the background teasing a return. It’s the musical equivalent of pond water; okay, it might seem a bit different, but until you put it under a microscope, you don’t realise how alive it really is.

[@obscuredoblivion444]

I totally agree

[@Staunts]

Love the funny hand claps in this one!

[@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole]

I'm in my studio and I can confirm that this was recorded at about A-426 Hz tuning. Making it close to A-432 Scientific Tuning, and VERY far from standardized A-440. I am an A-432 composer and find it quite fascinating since his youth, when opening his first synthesizer, he looked at the preset tuning (A-440 Hz) and said to himself that it must be a conspiracy. He never looked back. God bless 'em.

[@efmusic04]

432 is not scientific tuning... All tuning frequencies are completely redundant - what matters more is harmonic relationships which remain the same in 12-TET.

[@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole]

@@efmusic04 Actually A432hz is called Scientific Pitch _by definition._ Look it up. // Also, check out my work here at: _The Acoustic Rabbit Hole._

[@denisshabanov7462]

@@mantasisganaitis2281 nah, it's far less chaotic than mt st michel. the melody is much more explicit and seems to sound similar throughout the song. this is why 2:02 sounds so good - after two minutes, you finally hear the bass that resonates with what you've heard before
