Based on the timeline [0] I'm guessing that these were used in his album Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments pt2. I assume that this robot is used on the track snar2 [1] and perhaps others.
[0] - "15.01.2015: Aphex Twin announces a release using Robosnar as well as our HAT robot."

- orbitur 9y agoYou can also listen and send a few pennies Aphex Twin's way on Apple Music, at least in Canada.
- tyrust 9y agoAlso on Amazon, Google Play (https://warp.net/releases/computer-controlled-acoustic-instruments-pt2-ep/ https://warp.net/releases/computer-controlled-acoustic-instr...), and Spotify (https://play.spotify.com/album/5IUjJ4VcmUvZnGAONAp2IX https://play.spotify.com/album/5IUjJ4VcmUvZnGAONAp2IX). I just wanted to give people a quick taste of what the thing actually sounds like.
- djhworld 9y agoThe Spotify artist page UI is an abomination. If you go to the "Aphex Twin" artist page https://open.spotify.com/artist/6kBDZFXuLrZgHnvmPu9NsG https://open.spotify.com/artist/6kBDZFXuLrZgHnvmPu9NsG, the Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments EP isn't listed at all. However if you search for it using the search interface you can find it.
- hansjorg 9y agoIt's listed under singles for me.
- mturmon 9y agoWhich is a fun and enjoyable album. (e.g., http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/20156-computer-controlled-acoustic-instruments-pt2-ep/ http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/20156-computer-controlle...)
- pidg 9y agoI found it an interesting concept but pretty lacklustre as a piece of music, especially after the incredible Syro. What's there is nice, but hardly any of the ideas develop beyond "hey, look what I did with these instruments". More like a demo than an EP.
- kakarot 9y agoRichard has been around long enough. I don't think he cares if everything he does is a masterpiece, he just likes fooling around and experimenting with new things.
- jsmthrowaway 9y agoI read speculation somewhere that the first track of that album is the finished product, and the other tracks are works in progress or mood/jam palettes or investigatory scraps of various parts, some of which went unused. When I listened through with that in mind it made sense (and made the album more approachable), and the track titles may indeed support that theory. But, as with all things Aphex Twin, we are left to interpret on our own -- who knows?
