Work introduction
These 3 rather curious fictional dances for 4 double basses were inspired by an encounter with the double bass player Alexandra Scott. The vivid stories about each dance are entirely made up... or are they? The performers should feel free to adapt the music in their own way to make it "their own" as one would often do in popular music.
2. Slowmotion
In 1964, Tatjana Basanova, from Bottesinovsk in the former Soviet state of Djingelistan distanced herself entirely from playing any fast notes on the double bass. She released 17 albums of “Slowmotions” strange, but mostly harmonious slow pieces all dedicated to her love of her life, violinist Sergey Stringovsky, who she married later on and lived happily with for over 84 years. Once they were together, she abandoned “slowmotions” and wrote music for various soft erotic movies, which earned her several “Vanya” nominations, (the equivelent of the “Oscar” of the Soviet porn industry.)
