Aphex Twin SAW2 Countdown: Track 3 (“Rhubarb”)

I am conk out to do this dog - by - trail countdown to the release , on February 13 , 2014 , the daylight prior to Valentine ’s Day , of my Koran in the computable 33 1/3 serial publication . It is a love letter to Aphex Twin ’s album Selected Ambient Works Volume II , which will mark its twentieth anniversary this year , less than a calendar month after my book ’s publication . More on my Aphex Twin book atamazon.comandBloomsbury.com . The plan is to do this countdown in the reverse edict , from last track to first . For reference , an former draft of the introduction is on-line , as isthe book ’s seven - chapter table of cognitive content . The book ’s newspaper publisher postedan interview with mewhen I was midway through the writing process .

There is some irony to doing this countdown since the book is already shipping to folks who pre - place it via an online retailer such asAmazon , but the official escort stands , and that ’s the target — the destruction day of the month — of this countdown , February 13 . And for what it ’s worth , while the strong-arm copies are mailing now from retailers , the Kindle interlingual rendition wo n’t become on until February 13 . Still , the digital version be less .

As I ’ve noted onTwitter , this track - a - day feeler is on the button the opposite of the book ’s glide path , which is a collection of interconnected , reporting - based essay .

I am enjoying seeing the book of account pop up in masses ’s Twitter and Instagram feeds :

The mantrap of this track come down to one single musical note . When the caterpillar track starts , the myopic melodic phrase that define it is two notes , the bit of them held , keep up by three notes . At some point along the way , this becomes three promissory note followed by three banker’s bill . From a compositional standpoint , that is the only change in the birdsong . Everything else is sound design .

There is no caterpillar track on which I did more inquiry that did n’t stop up in the book than this one . In addition to the extensive verbal description of and reflection on this beautiful , elementary piece of music in the record , I conducted two elaborated audience I did with two different guitar instrumentalist who separately transcribe the work for solo guitar and uploaded their versions , one of which you may take heed here :

Here is a remix by Wisp , whom I talk about in the Good Book :
