Video? :(

  I've been searching, so far coming up empty. Would love to see a video of Richard James sending midi data to that snare that was meant for a completely different instrument, maybe one of the melodies from Windowlicker :-P

    Even though I think this was video trickery mostly, I often wonder if the later experiments with computer controlled instruments were partly inspired by this Monkey Drummer video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1ZGIrNf71Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1ZGIrNf71Q

      Hadn't seen that before, thanks for the link! That video is funny, perplexing and frightening all at the same time! I was a little relieved to realize the human appendages were added digitally (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_Drummer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_Drummer).

      This was the first thing I thought of as well. I remember rigging up some colored gels into makeshift 3D glasses to watch this back in the day.

  You can listen to some of the tracks made with these instruments here: https://bleep.com/release/56481-aphex-twin-computer-controlled-acoustic-instruments-pt2-ep https://bleep.com/release/56481-aphex-twin-computer-controll... Track 2 ('snar2') is basically a demo of the device.
