To mark the release of his new album Syro, Aphex Twin has discussed his lack of interest in big named DJing and, naturally, his love of music making robots.
Speaking to Rolling Stone from his home in a remote village near Glasgow in Scotland, Aphex (real name Richard D James) reveals that we won't have to wait 13 more years for more Aphex material.
"I've got a few more things planned – at least a couple more albums, some EPs, things like that," he said. "Some more dance-y things I did about 10 years ago. Experimental things, noise things, weird things. Shitloads of stuff."
James also discussed DJing at Glastonbury and his satisfaction at playing an anonymous set on site, as well as his off. "Doing it under Aphex, when everyone knows you, it's always really good fun, but at the same time, it's not really DJing. It's better if you do it anonymously. If they know who you are, they give you the benefit of the doubt. They'll just cheer even if you're shit."
He also explained about his studio set up. "This guy called God [Godfried-Willem Raes] made me some drum robots recently. I've been playing with those, and it's totally fucking awesome, the best toy imaginable." He also discussed other additons. "Then there's Disklavier computer-controlled pianos, MIDI pipe organs, stuff like that – they're real instruments, but they're controlled by a computer." R

Syro is out through Warp Records on 22 September. As well as standard cd and download formats, there will be a 3xLP set available to purchase, and a limited edition equivalent that will be priced at £250 and limited to 200 copies.
