Vanvinckenroye, Joris - Basta III CD
SKU
28-RNIR41.2
“BASta!'s first album, "Cycles" is one of my all-time favorite recordings. At this point, there's little that's novel about playing a long string instrument through a loop-pedal. These recordings make you immediately forget the limitations of the medium and give you what you always wanted from an imaginary string quartet.”- Jeff Dion
“BASta! is the solo project of double bass player and composer Joris Vanvinckenroye (known here as one of the leaders of Aranis), in which he explores and pushes the limits of the double bass. In this project, using looping and effect pedals, Joris creates an almost orchestral sound, using the full range of his instrument-from the deepest basses to the highest notes. These layered compositions weave complex rhythms and melodies into a rich and compelling soundscape.
BASta! was described by New Folk Sounds as a unique blend of ‘rocking acoustics’, where the layered compositions feel like a ‘sensual instrumental massage’ with a dynamic interplay of soft and powerful movements. With his solo project BASta! Joris brings to life a deep and personal musical vision, in which the double bass is not only the core, but acts as an orchestra on its own.”
