Last week I was introduced to two side projects Aphex Twin produced which are both remarkable. The first was a solo side project in which he uses the alias Polygon Window. Polygon window possesses all of the classic Aphex Twin moments where some tracks are such as Qouth are pounding, intense tracks and some tracks are mellow, spacious layered tracks such as If It Is Me. If you are like me and were unaware of this side project, you should check this out. Put your ears to the album, (Surfing on Sine Waves) below to get a taste of Polygon Window.
The other project which I was introduced to was an Aphex Twin collaboration project with electronic artist, u-Ziq. The two teamed up for a record under the names Mike & Rich and put a record out titled Expert Knob Twiddlers. The album has a great energy to it and clearly demonstrates the fun the two had while recording the album such as heard with the burp sounds mixed into the Upright Kangaroo track or the whistling sample and weird vocal mix on Reg. This album comes highly recommended and will fit as a perfect upbeat listen. Put your ears to the first track of the album and see if this is something up your lane.
