Florent Ghys Live

Soundcheck | Jun 25, 2010

Composer and bassist Florent Ghys writes pieces that blend elements of Minimalism, pop music and a dose of extravagant wit. His web site bio notes that he has a Masters degree in Arabic music. It also points out that his interests include weather reports, numbers, girls and hair dryers. Go figure.

Ghys will be performing as part of this Sunday's Bang on a Can Marathon, the 12-hour extravaganza of new music at the World Financial Center. He joins us today.
