Throwback Thursday: Aphex Twin – Windowlicker

September 22, 2016 by Nick Grindrod

maxresdefault

Aphex Twin is well known for his unique synthesised style of music, often with weird names or sounds. Windowlicker is his most famous song, starting off with a smooth yet glitch beat then building up to a synthesised bass at the end of the song. That alone was enough to make it popular, yet the incredibly weird gangster hip hop parody video that accompanies it earned a nomination for best video of 2000 at the British VMA awards. Interestingly, the bass at the end of the song forms a perfect spiral when the waveform is spectrally analysed. This was done on purpose by Aphex Twin, who used a program that allowed him to insert an image and obtain a sound as a result, which he used in Windowlicker. It’s a weird song with a weird video, but its status in the experimental electronic music scene makes it a classic.

About Nick Grindrod

G'day, I'm a 22 year old Australian whose love for electronic music has snowballed since I first discovered it in 2010. I'm not that picky with electronic genres and will appreciate any good music. Contact me on Twitter at @dailyedmpost
