about

BOUNCE started as an exploration into microtones on the bass. It initially evoked what I think is the sound of the Oud, and its ability to produce microtonal scales and melodies. Being a fretless instrument, the bass has this ability as well, although in the western tradition of the violin family, most instrumentalists work all their lives to try to avoid microtones, as they sound “out of tune” to some ears. As I was experimenting with this type of playing, I stumbled upon a groove, and the groove became the song, sans the microtones. The end has two very different and subtle ending references: The second movement from Shostakovich 6th Symphony, and “A Day In The Life” by the Beatles.
