"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the
questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a
very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you
because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live
everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without
noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer."
--Rainer Maria Rilke
Equal parts ambient and virtuosic, melancholic and playful, CJ Boyd’s bass playing melts glaciers, creating a sea of low, flowing rhythms, while also supplying melodies that soar over the ocean to dizzy the sun in its path. Waves of bass loops are garnished with harmonica drones and constant improvisational exploration. Deep-sea-diving for the hungry and alone. While certainly following in the footstep of great bassists like Mingus and Meyer, Boyd’s aesthetic sensibility also seeks to wed the minimalism of Reich and Riley with what might be called the maximalism of Beethoven's chamber music. Add some Moondog, Authur Russell, Godspeed, Eluvium. But with the improvisational prowess culled from jazz. Not funky, not a "bassplayer" in the usual sense of the word. But something refreshing and impressive—with fingers that only know how to dance to the deepest tunes. Nietzsche tells us, “Maturity consists in regaining the seriousness one had as a child at play.”

Invoking the spirit of Rage Against The Machine.Check this grinding controversial techno/vocal/melodic release by Multipraktik. Made only for edgy DJ's with balls and attitude, the original song is remixed in 4 completely different directions. From Tommi Bass surgeon minimality, Nash Donson's dark booming kicks and swooshing basses, over Multipraktik's dancefloor madness to Locomotive 57 chilled, deep and wikkid remix...
Available in all online stores and will be re-realesed on beatport on 26.June
i know! i noticed that you were in town on exactly the day that we were in Toronto, which sucks. i hope your show went well. i'm sure it did. i think we'll likely be in our Southern Ontario region over the summer recording, so if you're coming through again any time soon, drop a line.
