Sound Portraits Radio {EP8} Aphex Twin

APHEX TWIN

EPISODE 8

Richard James, aka Aphex Twin, is one of the most inventive and influential figures in contemporary electronic music. A name synonymous with the IDM (Intelligent Dance Music), Aphex Twin’s debut album “Selected Ambient Works 85-92” is considered a “watershed of ambient music” and since then he has released one groundbreaking album after another over the past few decades. He is a founder of Rephlex Records and is closely associated with Warp Records with whom he has released a variety of works. This episode of Sound Portraits Radio is hosted by Doron Sadja.

Sound Portraits is a series of lectures/listening sessions, curated by Doron Sadja, focusing on the work of iconic composers who have paved the way for contemporary electronic music. Started in 2015 as a live event at Spektrum in Berlin, the series quickly grew and exists now as both a live lecture series and a radio show on Cashmere Radio. After an introduction of each artist’s life and work, we listen to a selection of excerpts and complete works from the artist’s repertoire. Besides providing an opportunity to introduce these seminal artists to a new audience, the Sound Portraits series also offers an open forum to engage in group listening in a quiet atmosphere.

Doron Sadja is an American artist, composer, and curator whose work explores modes of perception and the experience of sound, light, and space. Find out more at www.doron.sadja.com
