APHEX TWIN – One Song Two Versions
New striking strokes
30 November 2025
Electro nerd and sometimes DJ Richard D. James aka APHEX TWIN started his – now you see me, now you don’t – Odyssey in 1988. He has, so far, 6 albums under his belt, with Syro from 2014 as the most recent one.
Now and then he drops shreds of music on the internet, which he did now again with two versions of a piece, named Zahl am1. The name is a reference to the Zähl, the soundboard he used to mix the track.
The art accompanying both tracks is a photo of the electronic music pioneer at the beach in Italy with a woman, who Reddit sleuths have identified as filmmaker Cordelia Angel Clarke.
James posted them on his favorite streaming platform Soundcloud and added this: “got many requests for this one from a few years back, italy, pic with my love from scilly recently…need sun…relentlessly raining in uk…mixed down on the zahl, think theres better mixes, will upload if i find em,”
