This video has 177k views on YouTube and quite a few uncharacteristically positive and thoughtful comments. It’s just some footage of two guys having beers on a roof at sunset, backed up by a beautiful version of Aphex Twin’s “Rhubarb” performed on classical guitar. Or is it more than that?
Giant pelvic-thrusting teddy bears suffering from creepy Richard D. James face syndrome. What more could you ask for? It’s a classic!

Aphex Twin - Girl/Boy Song on Guitar
Beautiful and ambitious work from Andrew Flanders. I love how well Aphex Twin tracks tranlate to traditional instruments. I write more about this topic in my review of Alarm Will Sound’s Acoustica.
Aphex Twin + Chris Cunningham: Rubber Johnny
Johnny is a hyperactive, shape-shifting mutant child, kept locked away in a basement. With only his feverish imagination and his terrified dog for company, he finds ways to amuse himself in the dark.
Rubber Johnny is the latest creation from the UKs most imaginative filmmaker, Chris Cunningham. Featuring music by legendary electronic composer, Aphex Twin, this nightmarish and hallucinatory experimental short film is accompanied by 40 pages of drawings and photographs - Cunninghams first published book of original artwork.

“Aphex Twin has done some legendary live performances in the past, so when we were asked to produce his stage show for the Traffic festival in Turin (with 20,000 people turning up), we wanted to do something a little out of the ordinary. We decided that we wanted to push the show away from just video projections so we enlisted the help of dance choreographer Darren Johnston of the excellent Array.
We wanted to combine our knowledge of video projections and Darren’s knowledge of dance choreography. So we had the dancers (Aphex masks, wedding dresses and all) move behind on stage screens and used video projections to morph their silhouettes into multi limbed monsters which raved away to Aphex’ set.
We offset this with a central screen which showed mutated hands working a variety of analogue audio gear. The result was a delightfully twisted cabaret which seemed to fit the event perfectly.” (via flat-e.com)

Alarm Will Sound’s performance of Aphex Twin’s “Cock/Ver 10”
My eMusic review of “Acoustica: Alarm Will Sound performs Aphex Twin”:
“Acoustica” exposes Aphex Twin for what he really is: One of today’s most important composers. This superb ensemble brings to the surface the beauty that lies just underneath the novelty of his music. That’s not to say that the novelty is missing in this recording, or that the beauty is lacking in the originals. Rather, Alarm Will Sound delicately turns the recording just a few degrees in a new direction that, when coupled with traditional instrumentation, reveals the solitary Twin as more Phillip Glass or late Frank Zappa than “intelligent dance music” instigator. While Squarepusher pushes this type of music into its other incarnation as jazz, Aphex Twin remains a 21st century composer. If history treats Aphex Twin well, this will not be the last ensemble to explore his work. Or, to put it simply, people who would never listen to Aphex Twin can appreciate this album. And people who do listen to Aphex Twin will consider it a worthy addition to their collection.
