Stories
Avril 14th, by Aphex Twin, became a runaway pop culture hit thanks to its inclusion on major motion pictures including MarieAntoinette, FourLions and Her. The piece was one of several that Aphex Twin released after he left a memory stick with a copy of the unedited versions of music on an airplane. This piece was one of the most recognizable melodies of the release, and the melody has been sampled many times including by Kanye West. This rendition is performed by Christine Eggert on the PH Upright Piano in the heart of Copenhagen’s design district.
