"At the Beach – Music for Voice and Electric Bass" is a captivating exploration of sound, where David Moss and Hannes Strobl weave a tapestry of avant-garde, free jazz, and experimental music. Released on April 28, 2014, under the MonotypeRec label, this album is a testament to the unique collaboration between Moss's evocative vocalizations and Strobl's innovative electric bass playing.
The seven-track album spans a concise 43 minutes, offering a journey through intricate soundscapes and narrative-driven compositions. Moss's voice becomes an instrument in its own right, connecting with Strobl's bass in a dialogue that is as much about storytelling as it is about music. The tracks, such as "Shoebox No 4 Open," "Just About To Fall," and the title track "At The Beach," showcase a range of textures and moods, from intimate and reflective to dynamic and exploratory.
Strobl's approach to the electric bass is particularly noteworthy, employing a special technique that combines traditional and electronic elements, including an electric upright bass, to create a rich and layered soundscape. This album is a must-listen for those interested in the boundaries of experimental music, where voice and bass intertwine to create something truly unique.
