It's impossible to tell with Squarepusher because he's a good enough jazz musician to compose this kind of stuff from scratch. It probably has some generative elements just to save him the trouble of manually inputting it all into a sequencer.

(err.. new Aphex Twin announcement) :)

Aphex has been dabbling in this sort of thing since Drukqs. He used a mechanical piano for a lot of stuff on that album and he also has a machine that triggers real percussion. Makes me wonder if Squarepusher going public with this technology pushed him into releasing a new album.

I guess there's going to be listening parties in a couple of days (as of Sept. 2nd.) I'm really excited. I hate to sound all hipstery but when I first heard Idiotheque I wasn't impressed. AFX Squarepusher and the like were doing that for years. So all of a sudden everyone likes it, but it felt like this weird forcefed appreciation because it was Radiohead. You're in college so you like Radiohead. I dunno.. the band's genius but anyway I put on Red Hot Car at one of our house's parties and people started to leave, which was taken off and replaced with Idiotheque and everyone started dancing again. I was like "goddamnit..."
