Barking Spiders Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 ..or wish they were playing more inventive music rather than having to gig with standard popular playlists? Or is any BCer in a band where you've seriously b@st@rdised your bass - or bass-tardised - if you've dared to!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smalls Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I'm just about to start playing with a free improvisational jazz drummer (who's played with Evan Parker) - our plan is to be a duo if it works out, involving lots of effects on my part, and lots of clever time shifting from him to cover my general ineptitude! I also used to play in a loose collective of improvisers (ex-Lol Coxhill); the drummer and I would jam a funk groove and the horn boys would parp and squeal on top of it. 4 hours was our record gig length!

ahpook Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I did a couple of amazing gigs with an impromptu band a few years ago - I think there were 5 guitarists, a drummer and two bassists (me and our very own dannybuoy) A couple of fairly free-form jams before the gig, the best music chosen for the set and then we gigged. Noisy, chaotic and great fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NukeBass Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I play bass guitar alongside (usually) six other guitarists known collectively as "The Glissando Guitar Orchestra". We all bow our instruments with metal objects using a lot of compression and delay, creating fabulously rich textured drones. It sounds like this: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) Always good to meet another Daevid and Gong head! Really enjoyed listening to that, though I kept imagining little Moonweed bubbles floating through, and maybe a touch of Shakti Yoni's space whispers, but simply beautiful.

bartelby Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 The music I produce when I'm not in a band is improvised minimalist electronic stuff. Recorded in one take with little post recording work. I'd love to be in a more experimental group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartleby -so, then viz your minimalist electronica you talking about stuff you'd find on the Kompakt label e.g. The Field ? I want to do more electronic with others using my electronic drum kit plus treated guitars and bass. I'm searching the world for a first generation Copilot FX Orbit Fuzz which closely approximates the classic dirty Acid House basslines of the Roland TB 303 as used to best effect by Hardfloor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like this: That’s was lovely and it makes perfect sense to me 😉 I’ve been jamming with a band for the last year using my bass through a Line 6 HD500X and getting nice experimental sounds (noises). I too am often after ‘those’ typical dance sounds of 303’s or the D&B warble...not so much the dub step thing. Incidentally I recently saw Submotion Orchestra with Fatty Hargreaves on bass...his experimental deep bass analog sounds were absolutely amazing...FX master!

kodiakblair Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Few local fellas got something together after watching a Tube special on German Industrial music. Real mash of chaotic noise, sadly no angle grinders or Sthil saws were allowed on stage. Doubt we got 5 minutes before the plug got pulled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinball Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) My band is experimental. Essentially we're a heavy prog rock band. In practice that means lots of variations in time and sound. Our sets are linked together with soundscapes. Although it may sound like it is improvised it really isn't that random at all. Our synth player plays midi though varios effects pedals and a monotron. I get to use some great bass eeffects and pedal combinations. It is hard work but great fun. It seems to be paying off to as we're getting more airplay and festival spots despite struggling to get decent gigs. Facebook page is here: https://www.facebook.com/TheAngryBadgers/ or on youtube.

Leonard Smalls Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Here's a hint of my slightly less experimental side... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jecklin Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Not bass guitar, but I lay down some substantial low end in my solo material - http://www.thomasstonemusic.com And in the ensemble I play in - Http://www.oretubadoom.com If things go to plan I'll be resurrecting my own ensemble Jecklin this year too.

Ore will be playing as a duo ( although not the original duo) at the flat pack festival in Birmingham very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
