Influences



Life, life is a loop.. Earth spins around the sun, the moon spins around the earth, we live, we die, species come, species go- planets stop their loops and new ones start spinning. This music is based on loops. Long and short ones. There is the loop of “Kismet” with its undefinable rhythm, the house inspired loop of “Step on it” with the distinctive 4 feel and the dub inspired MS Dub with its massive bass line. Everything performed on an electric double bass, the main inspiration.

Sounds LikeShadow Word generated at Pimp-My-Profile.comThese recordings reflect a five year journey into improvisation, electronic music and performance art.

This music comes from all the experiments and meetings that took place during that time. Performing and recording with artists and bands from the electronic scene of Copenhagen. I was trying to see if I could copy the sounds and shape of the music i heard and play it all only on a double bass.

It took a great loop pedal and getting my hands on an electric double bass, before I was satisfied. I mixed in my classical education, using the bow to copy syntheziser sounds and I started tapping on the instrument to copy drum sounds.

The result is moving, loopy, groovy and Flowing in circles.

les dents pour qu'on y goûte à chaque instant, on vous invite à
venir écouter nos tranches d'existence sur notre myspace (du son
