Analogue Bubblebath by Aphex Twin is of the greatest pieces of electronica to ever grace our ears, so this was quite an intimidating project to take on.

I properly hope that this remix doesn’t offend anybody - it was born out of love and stupidity and is actually a little embarrassing when you compare it to the sublimity of the original. 

The chords used were plucked quickly and impulsively from the ether and there is also some brazen preset implementation, for which I am genuinely sorry.

In all honesty, there was so much more work to do on this, but in the end it was a simple choice between either finalising the project or losing my tiny little mind.

Huge respect and admiration, as well as heartfelt apologies to Mr. Richard D. James, a limitlessly clever bloke who leaves most others cowering in his shadow. He also knows exactly where your girlfriend is.

Konstantinos Baras, a Greek composer with a passion for complex and saturated sound, embarked on his musical journey following a diagnosis of HanDL syndrome at the age of 18. Baras is recognized for creating works that convey intense emotions and delve into the complexities of trauma, employing visceral, chaotic sounds marked by a continuous energy flow and aggressive gestures. 

Utilizing digital signal processing, noise, distortion and live interactivity, Baras extends the timbral profile of traditional instruments and seamlessly blends disjunct materials into unified structures. With interest in site-specificity and interdisciplinary collaboration, he works often with dancers and movement artists and engages creatively with space, lights, and visual effects. 

His continued entanglement with black metal and techno contributes to an arrestingly distinctive sound palette, exploring the potential of repetition and bodily mechanics to intensify a sound’s impact on the listener. Toward that aim, Baras organizes his compositions through various processes of iteration and fragmented circularity, manipulating duration and density, often utilizing repetitive material but subtly altering it with every reappearance. The end result is driving, gripping, and grave.

His music has been performed and commissioned by Ensemble Modern, Ensemble Intercontemporain Moscow Contemporary Ensemble (MCME), Vertixe Sonora Ensemble,Ensemble Multilaterale, among other, with performances in festivals and conferences such as, IRCAM ManiFeste, MIXTUR, Darmstadt, reMusik, ilSuono, Ticino Musica, among others.

Currently pursuing a PhD in Composition at Northwestern University, Baras holds Masters degree from Boston University, and Bachelors degree Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
