noyzelab's afx dsp box commission for Richard James of Aphex Twin




via Noyzelab where you'll find additional details and pics.

Excerpt for the archives: "I have been asked many times over the years for pix of the special grey dsp box i built for richard james / aphex twin back in 2002. the internal details are top secret / classified, but a few little notes can be disclosed about its inception along with a few pix of it being built...

at some point i was telling richard about an experimental hardware dsp box i had made for my studio sometime around 1995. this box did real time processing of audio to make a weird old school computerised speech version of the original signal - any signal not just vocals. pretty nutty stuff, so i was immediately commissioned to build one.

we discussed it more after the tour and towards the end of 2002 i started putting a box together for him, just before zipping to australia to do my phd. many other people have asked me to build these but i had to have my arm twisted to make richard's. i generally dont make my little top secret boxes for outside of noyzelab activities, otherwise they wouldn't be secret. but once in a blue moon...

there's quite a few experimental recordings in my archives, and you can hear it processing female vocals on the track on computable numbers, with an application to the electric landlady problem by dave noyze."

Side note: I finally get to mention Aphex Twin's upcoming release on the site. For anyone curious why I haven't yet, it's synths only!
