Florent Ghys: Rhubarb (arr. for Bass and Electronics)
ABOUT
LISTEN
Composed by Aphex Twin, “Rhubarb” (often referred to as #3 from the album Selected Ambient Works Volume II) is an iconic ambient work. My cover for double basses and digital effects reimagines its calm through layered bowed textures, reverb, and gentle distortion, blurring acoustic and electronic worlds as a personal tribute.
