Squarepusher Iambic 9 Poetry~Bass solo~Tetra-Sync Live In Japan 2015.

[@DeclanBeyer]

a very underrated artist and a more underrated bass player. pure fucking talent right there.

[@alisound11]

underrated? He's the fucking daddy!!

[@Mandibularmenace]

@@alisound11 The Hard Normal Daddy perhaps?

[@andrewb8235]

He's a genius: the Bach of electronic music.

[@poguemahone5476]

Flea from chilli peppers has rated him the best bassist of all time and I agree. He's a musician's musician

[@anderswallden853]

Especially underrated as a composer, producer and experimentalist I'd say, but he is the fucking daddy and contributed so much good stuff to music.

[@robingram1927]

the audience is like an instrument to him too!

[@BillFurlong]

I love that he's rocking an Ibanez Soundgear. Brilliant on anything he touches

[@yasharsaydim]

it's impossible to not like this guy.

I would kill for a high quality recording of this solo

pretty decent recording of Sydney popped up recently kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJWnhKede7eMkJY

[@marketienne9203]

I wouldn't. What does this have to do with the song?

[@MediHusky]

sounds like he has an octaver on his bass. a really good sounding one.

[@FunkDracula]

Despite the bad quality of this camera phone capture, Squarepusher just oozes brilliance as always. Am I the only one hearing how his phrasing on the higher register bass licks is remarkably close to Steve Howe's guitar phrasing from early Yes classics? I mean, it almost sounds like a direct rip! BUT, that's not a bad thing at all. Cheers

[@MTheoOA]

Wow, you know Yes too... Fantastic.

Tom Jenkinson is a magician.. a wizard even..

[@lebanondisco4266]

some of the thickest chords of all time. Obviously jazz, but what I think is underlooked is the romantic composition evident here. Debussy/Chopin would be proud. Saw him playing this on same tour, what a man. Wonderful music.

[@joetorino7643]

this guy must be confused on how to be, or maybe he's perfectly comfortable. either way, he's really good. i'm talkin' jaco pastorius good. he just has love for music. and you can't stop something like that.

[@InfiniteRhombus]

squarepusher is miles ahead of jaco but its a completely different type of music

[@DetectiveThursday]

Tampaterry54 to be fair, Squarepusher does consider Jaco Pastorius one of his influences

Thats never an Ibanez is it?! Doesn't look like his usual Zoot beast.

[@efrazable]

+b1lahb1ah yep, it says SR on the headstock i believe.

[@b1lahb1ah]

Interesting! Seems like its tuned E-A-D-G-C-F as well, looking at where he plays the bass notes in the opening Iambic 9 Poetry riff

[@b1lahb1ah]

+b1lahb1ah Also as a side note to anyone who may be interested - at the special 'Shobaleader-One' show in London he played a 6 string MusicMan Bongo, dunno whats up with that - maybe he's shopping around for a new bass and trying things out?

[@samikalastaja]

I wonder how Tom is generally appreciated in the bass circles by those who are classically trained?

[@GUIM1797]

"Classically trained" bass circles aren't much of a thing. Most electric players aren't Classically trained but are more modern in play style (Jazz, funk, rock, etc.). That said, any bassist I've met that knows of Squarepusher always has respect for his chops, especially in circles that lean more towards modern Jazz.

[@cincocharms1233]

He has little respect from bass players who can actually play their instruments at the highest levels.

[@mcblahflooper94]

@@cincocharms1233 boooo nope

[@cwirk]

Is the riff he starts playing at :40 an actual song of his?

[@ferghalhughes2510]

Nah i think its just pure improve and skill!

[@robbing_trains]

@@ferghalhughes2510 what makes you say that? That melody is too good to just be improve. It sounds like he's covering something

[@AltoidsYob]

@@ferghalhughes2510 Not entirely improv. The main hook and concept in general was something he used again at a concert in Sydney. Also not in any of his officially released stuff as best as I can tell, which is a shame.
