active in the field of experimental music, antoine ferris is a french bass and double bass player from the hautes-pyrénées (france). his work, strongly influenced by pop, electronic, and hip-hop aesthetics, revolves around glitches and randomness in sound and composition.

ferris’s playing is defined by a creative and unconventional use of the instrument. sometimes treated as a percussion, struck with the fist or even a butter knife, and at other times used as an electronic signal source for multiple effects pedals, the bass becomes transformed, its sound split into several distinct layers.

active on the Toulouse scene, he performs in various groups such as baraque à free, megacoaster, feràmia, and the indie pop band totun.
