Caroline Shaw - caution: no bass content whatsoever

[leftybassman392]

I've been watching Stuart Copeland's excellent Adventures in Music series on BBC4, and heard part of this piece by Caroline Shaw.

I should say right away that this won't be everybody's cuppa (and as I said in the title there is no bass guitar - or indeed bass equipment - content whatsoever). If you're looking for bass content, you won't find any in this post.

I found it fascinating though, and am planning to have a look at some of her other work.

Curious to know what others think.

Blimey. Weird, beautiful and absolutely bonkers all at the same time! Serious singing skills.

A very thought provoking and fascinating piece. Thanks for sharing. There is a fine line, though, between an intelligent piece and being too clever for one's own good and I wonder whether, on occasions, it skirts the line a little too closely. Still, my life is still better for having heard it rather than not so, once again, thanks for the share.

She is an amazing composer, creates  beautiful and unusual music. Would love to be in her head for a day.
