Last year, Aphex Twin (a.k.a Richard D. James) collaborated with electronic instrument mainstay Korg on the company's Monologue synthesizer, offering up some of his own presets and scales to be included with the device. Now, James is showing off the instrument's capabilities with a new tune.

Titled "Korg Funk 5," the track was recorded by James in collaboration with Korg advisor and engineer Tatsuya Takahashi. The song also features James' son on vocals, while the synthesizer work is unmistakably Aphex.

Hear "Korg Funk 5" in the player below, along with a playlist of James' scales. James also took the time to interview Takahashi on electronics, synths and more.
