Petros Klampanis: Blue Cave
Here’s another great example of how versatile the double bass is as an instrument. Greek bassist Petros Klampanis paints a vivid picture with his bass on “Blue Cave,” a song inspired by an area on his home island of Zakynthos.
Utilizing looping and effects, Klampanis builds a haunting and beautiful backdrop to build a melody and solo over. You can almost see the waves crashing against the rocks and birds flying overhead.
Very dark; but beautiful all the same.
The slide at the beginning sound like the noises whales make , incredible .
I went to Zakynthos for my honeymoon. Wonderful place.
Damn these Greeks! Even the crisis can’t stop them! Every time there’s a Greek musician in the video section, you know it’s bound to be good. Love from Portugal!
