BITOI „A Simple Fall"
Sweden, Denmark
Cassius Lambert – bass
Alexandra Shabo - voice
Lydia Cronberg - voice
Ella Cronberg – voice
BITOI—Bass Is The Original Instrument—is a quartet led by Swedish bassist Cassius Lambert and featuring three female vocalists. Their lyrics consist of phonetically transcribed bird songs that coalesce into multi-layered choral textures, polyrhythms, and microtonal passages. Lambert calls his approach “Miximalism”: a maximum of sonic detail and expression within a minimalist ensemble. Without drums, using only bass and voices, the result is music that lies somewhere between archaic-sounding chants, prepared sounds, and rhythmic complexity. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
