Matthew Kline: Masters Recital, Double Bass
A humble Tribute to Guagauanco (Gregg August) performed by Heavy Hands
Cave: for solo double bass, live electronics, and interactive video (Jazer Giles) performed by Salvatore Macchia
Here is a recording of the world premiere performance of Cave: for solo double bass, live electronics, and interactive video. This is a pretty heavy Max/MSP/Jitter thing. Disclaimer: I used to study with Macchia and it’s fun to hear the control he brings to a piece like this, where it could probably just as easy disintegrate into noise he keeps it musical. Fun sounding and and looking piece.
