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

I would kill for a high quality recording of this solo

[@bitroast]

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

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

Awesome upload, thank you so much !

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

[@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.

[@MediHusky]

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

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

[@tomchannelle8386]

that whole section sounds like a polyphia riff

[@illidan155]

@@tomchannelle8386 thank god somebody else noticed this and not just me. This was recorded in 2015-16-ish, 7 years ago. Polyphia - GOAT, thats the riff that it reminds me too, this was released in 2018 :). I think polyphia guys like squarepusher ;d

[@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

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?

[@MajoraWaffle]

BROTHER

[@cwirk]

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

[@ferghalhughes2510]

Nah i think its just pure improve and skill!

[@cal_chrisdera]

@@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.
