Olivier Babaz: Midnight Caffeine
Talk about multi-tasking! French bassist Olivier Babaz shared this video with us in which he plays a reduced version of his piece “Midnight Caffeine” on his bass while simultaneously playing chords on his kalimba.
The two instruments create a really cool texture while a prerecorded egg shaker keeps time.
