Bio: Music lovers of all stripes can embrace the work of the composer-bassist Florent Ghys, who has attained viral fame with videos attributed to the Cats & Friends Choir. Ghys’s pandemic ritual is to scour YouTube for vocalizing cats, sheep, and cows; organize their utterances by pitch; and edit them into approximations of familiar pieces, including Satie’s Gymnopédies, Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater, and Bach’s First Cello Suite. As with Coronadämmerung, silliness veers toward the sublime. Satie, for one, might have approved of being translated into meows and moos.” --New Yorker May 2020
