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.
In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.
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!
