This is very cool. My personal favorite Aphex track is Donkey Rhubarb if you're feeling ambitious.

Oh wow... an endless generation of D.R. would send you straight to the asylum! as much as I love the bonkers-ness of Donkey Rhubarb, it's existing length is quite enough for one sitting!

Come to daddy on the other hand...

It's a beautiful piece and you've done it justice OP. Just wanted to say that.

Although I like the result, I find the track less soothing without the birds in the background. There's probably a way to generate those as well though, I suppose.

Agreed. I considered adding birds to it but I've found if I play this track in the morning and open my window so I can hear actual birds it's a nice experience.

Huh. Was bracing for something like "come to daddy" when I hit play. Didn't realize Aphex Twin did anything else.

"Selected Ambient Works 85-92" is a quality product.

Probably my favorite album for programming and other work that require concentration.

I still haven't encountered anything like it. I wish there was more.

You may have heard this behind Kanye, but it's another beautiful piano piece from Richard D James. Avril 14th from Drukqs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBFXJw7n-fU

He's basically the father of modern claustrophobic ambient with his Selected Ambient Works pt2. A very special thing to fall asleep and wake up while it's still playing.

Diverged from Brian Eno's more warm and happy tunes to something darker.
