“Rhyuhn Green is a young composer and pianist with a vision: classical music should become a melting pot of different cultures, drawing in people by offering them a fusion of musical genres that allows everyone to connect and unite.”
“Rhyuhn is stepping into a new chapter with the release of his first album, ph3oniXes—a bold statement on rebirth, resilience, and creative evolution.”
“ph3oniXes. The title alludes to a rising, or a sense of restoration and starting new. I think that's important when talking about music and artistry. It should always be something fresh, something exciting. The image of a phoenix is something that is grand and beautiful, it's something that continues and has no end. I want my music to have that sort of phoenix effect. I want it to die and be born again, in a sense. Also, some of the musical ideas in a lot of the pieces have different time signatures, there are a lot of odd meters. I feel the title reflects that sort of oddity.
A time ago, I started a piece “Symbiosis.” The piece has grown with me. I find that some elements of the piece have gone through that process: they've grown, they've died, and they've been born again.
A lot of the music on the album has been workshopped a lot. I was sitting in the studio, sometimes for hours, thinking about what I want to change, how I want it to be different, how I can really push myself to get to that next level in my creative process. I truly believe that this album has been a transformative experience, it is my evolution as I've grown over the years.” - Rhyuhn
