Interstellar Echoes by Daren Burns
"Interstellar Echoes" is a structured improvisation using the nine planets (sorry Pluto) as inspiration. Written by Daren Burns while on the road in 2010, it is a tribute to saxophonist John Coltrane and uses his landmark album "Interstellar Space"; which featured duets between his sax and the drums of Rashied Ali. This recording utilizes a six-string bass tuned: EADGBE and various effect pedals and the EDP looper and drumset. Keeping a similar instrumentation as Coltranes Interstellar album. Here it branches off into a variety of sounds and styles meant to evoke musical pictures of the various planets. Influenced by David Torn, John Coltrane, John Abercrombie, Pat Metheny, Robert Fripp , and various metal bands.
This recording showcases the bass as a solo instrument and expands upon its traditional sound with the use of effects in creative ways.
