Dave Noyze SYROBONKERS! Interview (November 2014)

richisanotter

The Dave Noyze interview is already legendary as one of the most in-depth and technical interviews ever given by RDJ — and moreso for the dozens of unreleased recordings provided as Soundcloud links.  Sadly, around one month after the publication, the entire interview and related Soundcloud clips were removed for reasons unknown. Fortunately, the pages were archived by WaybackMachine (and no doubt hundreds of Aphex fans around the world):

Aphex Twin — SYROBONKERS! Interview — Part 1
Aphex Twin — SYROBONKERS! Interview — Part 2

The sheer volume of material provided to Dave Noyze for this interview can be broken up into the following ;

  • The earliest AFX recordings ever publicly released (as Phonic Boy on Dope, aka PBOD, mid-1980’s)
  • Unreleased orchestral recordings of Rhubarb (SAW2) and orchestral reworkings of Penderecki material in Poland 2011
  • Early versions of released material (eg: Fenix Funk, Avril 14th, CIRCLONT4A, CIRCLONT10A, Analogue Bubblebath Vol 3 CD)
  • His sons’ own recordings (purportedly) 
  • Modular synth experiments
  • Miscellaneous audio experiments
