about this song

“i” is the shortest track on Selected Ambient Works 85-92, as well as the oldest song on the album. Aphex Twin revealed in an interview with Q Magazine that he composed the track at 13 years old, aligning with the range of recording years in the album’s title (1985-1992). "I remember thinking, ‘Hey, where did that come from?’ it’s always a mystery, you know. I suppose it was really simple what I’d done, but I didn’t know I could do it." – Aphex Twin in an interview with Q Magazine
