About

Stefano Scodanibbio, one of the great interpreters of the contemporary double bass as well as a composer, recorded almost 6 hours of double bass sound materials, the result of 26 different methods of sound production. They were then cut and used in a polyphonic way via multitrack editing. The amazing sounds which result are not filtered or modified, only a small reverb unit has been used. The tape was created at CCMIX (Centre de Création Musicale Iannis Xenakis) in Paris.

Intensely rhythmic and dramatically sculpted, the piece represents the "animal" side of the contrabass, which here sounds at times like marimba and clarinet but also has access to deep, abyssal drones unlike anything else in music. An amazing achievement.
