minipops 67 [120.2][source field mix] by Aphex Twin
“The title SYRO is pronounced “sigh-ro” and it is a made-up word one of James’ children came up with. Of the several albums he’s been working on, SYRO is the “most accessible one.” He’s not behind any of the SYRO fakes on YouTube but he has seen them: “I saw the first one that got up, it’s got like 26,000 views already, so obviously there’s a lot of incentive for people to do fakes. It’s like, ‘Shit, I should have put the real one up there.’ I can’t put it up yet, though, can I? How much do you get paid for a YouTube thing?” SYRO features unintelligible vocals from James, his kids, his wife, and his parents. SYRO’s track titles mostly reference machines James used to make the album. He’s currently making new music with electro-mechanical instruments including MIDI pipe organs, a Disklavier controlled piano, and computer-controlled percussion.”
