Aphex Twin (born Richard D. James) is a British musician, composer and DJ widely regarded as one of the most exciting and influential figures in contemporary music. Over nearly four decades, James has continued to profoundly reshape electronic music.

Drawing upon the broadest, weirdest strokes of acid, house, jungle, drum n’ bass, and classical instrumentation, James’s vast output ranges from placid ambient to frenzied techno and far beyond. Using homemade and custom-modified equipment – as well as nonstandard tuning, chord progressions and scales – James meticulously composes and arranges sounds unlike any other. While often accompanied by cheeky, outlandish visuals (many the work of British artist Chris Cunningham), James’s music is as emotionally poignant as it is sonically rich.

James was born in 1971 and raised in Cornwall, southwest England. He developed an interest in experimenting with sound and modifying electronics as a child, prior to making music at age 14. James began DJing at nearby clubs and raves in his late teens while studying engineering at Cornwall College; composing and recording his own tracks on cassette tapes he distributed to friends and mixed into his DJ sets. His earliest Aphex Twin EPs, Analogue Bubblebath and Digeridoo, played frequently on London pirate radio stations, and he began to cultivate a following across the UK. James’s debut full-length record, Selected Ambient Works 85-92, arrived at the end of 1992, and is still considered a turning point in modern electronic music.

Over the following decade, James released four full-length Aphex Twin albums: Selected Ambient Works Volume II (1994), …I Care Because You Do (1995), Richard D. James Album (1996), and Drukqs (2001), as well as several EPs as Aphex Twin and other aliases (among them 1995’s Donkey Rhubarb and 1997’s Come to Daddy). This intensely prolific period was followed by a 13-year gap between Aphex Twin albums, as his sixth full-length, Syro, didn’t arrive until 2014. In the years since, James has continued to release music officially and cryptically, both as Aphex Twin and across a cadre of mysterious aliases – anonymously uploading hundreds of demos to Soundcloud.

“It is all about sound, but people forget that,” James has said. “They think, ‘Oh, I want to hear a nice tune.’ But what you're actually saying is you want to hear the combination of frequencies that make you feel a certain way. And more excitingly, it's about finding out the new ones.”
