It’s astounding how faithful this was to the original. I can’t imagine the amount of work that was required to turn this into a symphonic rendition.

[@reaffrests3617]

How faithful? No. Amount of work? Yes. Does it worth it? No.

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

Right down to 'come on you cunt, lets have some aphex acid' 😂

[@milkmanswife93696]

wasn't disappointed, even used a megaphone

[@flamedub]

I was wondering what the megaphone was for.. then I found out.

[@tomahzo]

I started reading the comments before reaching 3:00 and then noticed the megaphone in the video and was all like "ooooooh, I think I know what that will be used for" ;).

[@strawbale2023]

The entire orchestra was waiting for that one moment.

[@adamv5419]

I'm so tempted to share this with people, but I feel like it'll just sound like chaos to people who don't know the original. This was without a doubt the most impressive thing I've seen played bay an orchestra.

@@shockedmusic1 Sure, as anyone can be a composer, but that does not mean that he is as good as Mozart. Anyone can say that we can all be as good as Beethoven, but saying this does not make it happen. Your comment is silly, obviously not everyone can be as good as Aphex Twin and we can verify this using a bit of logic.

[@Alex-hc7od]

love how into it everyone is

[@twistfinger]

I always loved what these people did for this album. Now, after all these years, I randomly see this video. It makes me imagine how many times they all listened to this song together to deconstruct it. It would be cool as flip if there was footage of that process. It would be cool to see what their approach to any microtuning in these pieces would have been.

[@korypo303]

I agree!

[@PSpencer]

Goddamn, I would give anything to be in that drummer's place. Fuckin amazing cover

[@jackmunch6978]

The University of Cincinnati band also did a great version of Alberto Balsam.

[@foulmouth333]

i love how they kept the COME ON YOU CNT LETS HAVE SOME APHEX ACID

[@muninraven3327]

Fantastic. The Acoustica release still finds time on my rotation. I have always heard a lot of whimsy and playfulness in Aphex Twin's music (later blatant trolling of the popular arm of the music industry), and it reminds me of Boccherini, and even Vivaldi. I'm not a fan of things like "The Bee Gees Go Classical" which is just pish to me, but this is genuinely sublime. So give the drummer(s) some more! 1:14 Get in there, my chap! 1:20 A rather handsom looking rubber plunger on the table there behind the fine fellow. 2:13 Loving the Lady on the right playing the violin who is clearly having fun and can't help but smile. 2:30 Lady feeling it. 2:59 Will they do it? Of course they will. They're professionals: Respect the source material, no smothering PC culture here! 3:47 Not enough emphasis on the singular beautiful sound of plucking in most orchestral pieces. Let's fix that. 4:04 You got this! What a glorious ensemble of talented misfits. And I say that in the most amiable way. To perform some Aphex one night, and then the next night some will be performing Bach's Cello Suites, some oboe sessions for a movie soundtrack etc... I just hope that the change in music is always a wonderful and nutritional one.

Good work! I'm imagining that the first step would be to take the actually midi track data & using some software convert it into normal musical notation. Then it would be a case of deciding which classical instrument to use for each part. It is a work of genius though Drukqs is an amazing album. The more you listen to it the more logical sense it makes.
