Wow. Superb phrasing and a buoyant performance. Charming! The bassist has such a wonderfully full sound even with very short notes, and always with amazing bow control. Total command of musicality. Thank you both!

Sounds great! I'll have to try the ricochet-bow on the "harpa."

[@JeremyMcCoydoublebassist]

Thanks, Rick! Definitely try it out.

Sounds quite artificially boomy --- what did they do with the sound ? The cello is good for a new one , but D-String quite much darker than A-String !

This was made as a pandemic lockdown project, in two different spaces thousands of miles apart. Bass was recorded first in a fairly large room with a high ceiling and wood floors and cello played along to that recording using earbuds in a smaller, less resonant studio apartment. I think there was a light treatment applied in an effort to equalize the acoustics but we didn't aim for anything approaching a commercial-quality recording. We used iPhones and inexpensive plug-in mics. All was for fun and to experiment with how we could play together during those lousy early days of the pandemic. Thanks for listening.
