about

Composed for bass quartet, Bass Palmas explores the upright bass for its full potential as a melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic voice. I wanted this to be satisfying without other harmonic instruments and therefore, added only percussion. In terms of its structure, Bass Palmas is driven by an ostinato pattern (pizz) that ushers in floating, ambient textures and aggressive high range solo lines. A rhythmic accompaniment of cajon and hand claps (palmas) assist the rhythmic drive and reinforce an unstoppable groove, which switches from pizz to arco and then back again. The piece culminates in an overlapping of patterns that cross over the bar line using a series of dominant seventh chords with added major / minor third inflections.
