Aphex Twin Day was a channel event on the SiIvaGunner channel dedicated to Aphex Twin. It occurred on April 14, 2025, in reference to the Aphex Twin song "Avril 14th".
Summary[]
All rips uploaded on this day featured songs by Richard D. James released under his alias Aphex Twin. The catchphrase was changed to "Come on you commenters, let's read the CHANNEL DESCRIPTION!", referencing the vocals in "Cock/ver10" by Aphex Twin.
Rips were initially uploaded every hour. Following the release of "140 Menu - 140", it increased to every 30 minutes. Most of the first few rips corresponded with the time of day of their uploads in PST, by referencing the time in their titles or jokes.
During the event, the banner and avatar were changed to portraits in the style of cover artworks of Aphex Twin albums: the banner is based on Selected Ambient Works Volume II, while the avatar is based on Richard D. James Album, featuring Dr. Andonuts in his final boss form from EarthBound Halloween Hack.
Partway through the event, "Your Best Nightmare (OST Version) - Undertale" became the featured video. At 12:30 PDT, a post by Dr. Andonuts was published on the community tab, explaining the avatar change from his perspective:[1]
I'm fine, by the way. I've been informed that this "artistic representation" happens from time to time.
During the release of "Hard Technology Rock - Half-Life", the banner was changed to feature the Half-Life logo, Gordon Freeman, and a Half-Life scientist on the square usually unseen on the banner. The banner was later reverted when "Goodnight (OST Version) - Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness" was uploaded.
