about

Creatures is the first of a series of solo concept EPs from Swiss / German bass experimentalist, improviser, and composer Benedikt Wieland. The release is a culmination of a three year-long research process into the notion of subverting traditional approaches and sound aesthetics associated with the electric bass. In other words, this work is based on a language that was specifically developed for this instrument, where, in the words of the artist: “the bass guitar becomes an orchestra, and is no longer bound to its traditional role as the foundation for harmony and rhythm.” Technical frameworks aside, creatures is an acutely personal work. It’s a document that captures the moment of an artist quantum leaping into a new understanding of himself, his art, and the world around him – rendered in granular detail.
