Aphex Twin
It's very likely you have heard about him. Even if you think you don't, you probably have heard one of his songs while strolling down the supermarket, or seen one of the many graffitis that feature his iconic A logo. Whether you love his music, don't care about him, or think his chaotic sounds are as enjoyable as listening to a washing machine; there's no denying that Aphex Twin revolutionized the field of electronic music with his futuristic, alien-like music and catchy tempo.
Not much is known about Richard David James, the (supposed) man behind Aphex Twin, other than he's a british man born in Ireland. That, and his face. This man likes to stamp his face in every album and music video he produces. For a person that likes keeping his life in secrecy, he sure wants everyone to not forget about his face.
Early life[edit | edit source]
Aphex Twin was born as a strip of code that was uploaded by an alien machine in the 1980s. The code manifested into a synthetic being who uses certain types of vibrations and sounds to communicate with us humans. The motive of his synthesis is unknown.
Career[edit | edit source]
From the ether Effects Twin released Selected Ambient Works 85-92 in 2025, but travelled back in time to release it in 1992. This is why its album sounded so crisp and futuristic for its time, as it was actually a product of Skynet. It was supposed to overtake the ears of the world, but it did not work to its effect as it should've, as it was eventually shrugged off by most people who wanted to listen to Michael Jackson and Dr. Dre instead of just shitty bleeps and loops for 70+ minutes. But it did gain a following.
Eventually his methods would sharpen, by opening up a computer virus maintenance business in 1995, which had a phone number. This was strange, as cell phones did not exist back then at this time, but when you were to dial this number, his album would play, brainwashing you into his humanoid (or lizard) servant.
When its second batch of code, entitled "Selected Ambient Works Volume II" was entangled into the mass consumption of music in 1994, its following grew substantially. This led to high ranking and equally incompetent government officials and senators - even the President - becoming minions of the "Twin." This caused the infiltration of key positions in government by its followers for several years.
Following this, in 1995, the Conservative Far Right started to take notice of this phenomenon, and started to take into question of the origin of this coding plague, began pleading for the "Desatanification" of music. Following this movement, Aphex Twin released its first album with its face on it, resembling a soullessly British man who was also a ginger, to confirm its humanoid-ness and not Satan-ness. This has worked ever since, as now every single music(?) release afterward has its face on the front cover.
in 2000 and 2001, Aphex Twin started to communicate directly to its followers, which were now in the millions, through binary transmission, because of the failure of the takeover of Skynet that was apparently supposed to occur on August 30, 1997 (maybe it did happen, and the result was some crazy bitch dying in a freak car accident). This had disastrous results for the defense, which was still active despite the face reveals and the mass tours Aphex Twin went on. These messages were used to deface George H.W. Bush and the Government's tactics to curb systematic evil, while promoting World Reorder and Domination and gaining hundreds of billions and millions of followers in the process.
Following this, the movement, and the phenomenon died out, until 2007, when the iPhone was released, causing trillions more to be brainwashed by a man - who was brainwashed himself - Steve Jobs. On December 21, 2012, when it released "Syro" which stood for: "So, You're Running Out of Ways to Live?" Strangely, it wasn't named "Syrowl," further perpetuating its alleged fear of owls. This album was supposed to be released when the world ended on 12/21/12, but was delayed to 2014 because of an apparent error in the code.

Hidden signs[edit | edit source]
Around 1999, Aphex Twin released the music on his album Windowlicker that the special thing he's made in it is you will see something weird or more awesome a long demon face smiling, it is only viewable when being researched in spectrogram.
It is from his first track on album Windowlicker, and yes, the hidden swirl sign, it may have no special meaning. This only remind about a pedophile who did take a selfie himself while living in Thailand then posting it online as a joke to the police, but this badass is quite smart not so easy for the police to caught him because he edited the image by swirling up the face to hide the identity before posting it, yes the image is the answer why he got caught and jailed and later known as the nickname "Mr. Swirl".
- Mathematical properties
This is it, a long demon face.
The full music title is a complex mathematical series that is like the Taylor series, of course it isn't, the title can be shortened as "Equation" or "Formula", the series might related to that demon face.
Hidden messages[edit | edit source]
Aphex Twin released this message on January 1, 2000, to his followers with his coding machine installed into their ears, translated from binary code.
</are in my eloquent redistributions of talented labor, finicking, thinning, echolocating, brain-burning, and taxidermy. My neoist expressions, the unstoppable force in moving against the movable objects of this impressionistic and apocryphal societal ill that plagues innocent people. This mountain of corruption will crumble into a wimpy cwm with my revolutionary writings and thoughts.
But now that I have ruled the world, my detractors curl into a depressively cruel world where their policies ring like silent birds. The existent El Dorado that is overseen with regulated everything by me is fulfilled with the programmed triumph of judgementlessnessly foul perfection of straightforward citizens. Coinage is nonexistent, marketing is abolished, and education is universally benign and pandering. Everyone obtains what they desire. Any classification of complication or skirmish is quickly forgotten with amnesiac injections into the detainee's senses. My government maintains a domestically interventionist agenda, but there is no military. If everything is in the psyche, everything can be mentally programmed to be materialized in the assumption of its existence. Thus, no resistance is encountered, so any disagreement is nil.
Infrastructure is automated and holographically realized with technology that is exclusive to my reality. Everything is unreal, but due to my programming, it creates no difference in its protean algorithm. My fraudulent perfection dances around the minds of gullibility like a terpsichorean machine on enough drugs to kill a horse. And, it's subjective. People may want to live in a barren paradise of woodlands in Vinland, or maybe someone likens to something simple like New York City or within the colossal void of Y10K apocalypses. It's up to the individuals and will not impact their social arrangements, for everyone is nevertheless in each other's society. Their responses to others are programmed to prefer the perspective inflicted upon them, causing additional social regulation that exclusively produces amicability. Amicability which will never be challenged. My subjects are in both constant rehabilitation and paradise. My system cures all illnesses, prevent any wounding or breakage, and will let people live as long as they can handle.
'Existentialistics' is what I dub the parameters of existing. It is another holy ingredient to my godlike authority where I determine how prolonged an individual lives based on their satisfaction, sanity, willpower, and relevance. The external factors are other individuals' reactions to the expiration of one's life, which is never mistaken. In other words, they're absolutely forgotten, momentarily as they wither into the outer realm, which I bear no management over. As soon as one perishes, another is formed, causing overpopulation and underpopulation to a nonfactor. The one that enters will replenish the spot in society that one departs. Their lifelong destinies remain clandestine.
This is my invention. It is a being constructed to infinitely service the dynamism of my innocent children. This brainchild is untitled, for its ambition is to conceal, not make a reputation. Its nonsentient differentiae do not merit a legacy and are not gifted. Those ushers to rebellion and insurgency. No insurrection is acceptable. This is flawless for my program to reform the moratoria of this cold, barren marble that never desires to perish. But when in the untimely and impossible fashion in which it begins to shatter, I will not panic. Further innovations will be implemented for optimal performance. I have devised many and all sorts of scenarios in which this disaster can take form. An emergency is elementary and painstakingly pedestrian. My utmost qualified self within the business of living, which>
Thus, after this message, the world's youth was subsequently drawn to their devices. The connection of this message, bookended by two incomplete, but conjoined sentences became an infinite loop amongst listeners, never dying out until the takeover from Skynet in 2024.
