"Dear Potomac, I Am Your Child"

Double bass solo album by German bassist Björn Martin Klaus. Structures and puzzle pieces are sewn together to create music (almost) solely with and from the double bass.
And its shadows....

1) “Dance Of The Auburn Lady”
The erotic swaying of the auburn double bass/femme fatale.

2) “Nordic Noir”
Like an old record. Dark and haunting Skandinavian melodies like in a dark crime show from up North, combined with an action-packed sequence resolving in a return to the theme - with hurdy-gurdy.

3) ”Dear Potomac, I Am Your Child”
Down in BMK's childhood lands, the Potomac runs it's course through Maryland. Memories of the C&O Canal, with historic canal boats impressing a very young man. Sweaty days and nights. Playing beneath the bridge of the double bass evokes an eerie angel's choir.

4) “The Party Crasher (Why Don’t You Leave This Town)”
A forbidden instrument. A style from the olden days. Grooves and Chords and even an orchestra sighing in the background. There is no room for two basses in this town...

5) “It’s Alright”
Join me in an intimate bass/vocal performance where I recap the album recording process as a song.

6) “The Rhythm Suite” in IV Parts
A journey through the sounds and grooves of the double bass.
