octobasse

Nicola Moneta,the only Octobasse player in the world, who enjoyed Maestro Tan Dun's Eroica, tries to work around the notes with his own instrument. He hopes the composer also will like the performance.....

Oooops - he kinda gets behind from 30 seconds to 40 seconds. At least he gives a nice slap at the end - that's a nice way to end the piece!

it was just a try, late in a night I felt inspired. Then I didn't work on the results of a video taken with somewhat like a cellar phone...

it definitely makes sense to write orchestral music for the octobass. the sound is fuller, more complete. ... the cellos and basses function like a bass line, but the octobass has a different role, one of pure sonic foundation....

maybe we can resurrect this monster from the depths of obscurity...

@b0ttomzone Exactly....this is in few words the right philosophy for Octobass playing

[petyusayako]

yeah! the smallest man in the world playing violin.

no i was not being mean, this is quite fascinating. I am a mere double bass player and thought i was a hit with 5 strings

The cello looks on in sadness saying "show off"
