> Aphex Twin (aka Richard James) is known for creating original, complex sounds whenever he can, but his next creation might just take the cake. He tells Groove that he hired a programmer to develop music software based on mutation. Once you give the app an audio sample, it automatically generates six variants on that and asks you to pick your favorite before going on to create more variations -- think of it as natural selection for sweet beats. The software still "needs to be tweeked," and there's no mention of a public launch, but the early output reportedly sounds "totally awesome." Don't be shocked if one of James' post-Syro albums uses this software to create some truly one-of-a-kind tunes.

I can't speak for him, but personally if I was him I'd say 'finally! I've only had these algorithms printed on my records for ~10-20 years'

But, realistically, that'd be like in the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy when they said 'but the notice was in Alpha Centauri the whole time! How did you not know?'
