For some tracks, the BPM determined by beaTunes was either twice as fast or only half of the value which seemed “right” for the track, so I adjusted those values by hand. To measure tempo, beaTunes 4 was used to retrieve the BPM (beats per minute) of each track. Bash and Python scripts were then used to process this extracted data. SoX was also used to retrieve track lengths. To measure average volume, the dB (decibel) RMS (root mean square) of each track was obtained using SoX.

Considering the variation in the music that he has produced, I thought it would be interesting to see how the Aphex Twin sound has evolved throughout the years by visualising it. His work stretches from ambient drone to acid techno and from minimal classicism to drill 'n' bass, with these diverse genres sometimes being blended on a single album or even in the same track.
