IRISH-BORN MUSICIAN Aphex Twin is releasing a new EP next month, and just enlisted a young Dublin fan to shoot his latest music video.
Ryan Wyer, a 12-year-old kid from Rush, was spotted by Aphex Twin (real name Richard David James) after making several fan videos on his YouTube account.
CIRKLON3 is Aphex Twin’s first video since the infamous Windowlicker clip, which was released in 1999 – five years before Wyer was even born.
The eight minute-long video features Wyer and his friends dancing around wearing Aphex Twin t-shirts and masks:
Pitchfork reports that the musician found Wyer through his YouTube channel, where he regularly posts fan videos - a 2014 video of him and his friends dancing around to Aphex Twin got over 82,000 views.
Fans are chalking it all down as a testament to his greatness:
AFX literally let the kid everyone loved doing his own Aphex Twin videos in his room and outside his house the opportunity to make the official video, there are no bounds to how brilliant this man is.
