Wibert de Joode - Olo
- Note d'ecoute 114 du lunedi 9 decembre 2002 Très belle confrontation solo pour cet instrument gigantesque
qu¹il faut supporter, étreindre, empoigner, épouser,
frotter, rudoyer, cogner. Forcément très physique. Dix-sept
exercices de styles soignés. En postures ouvertes. Dix-sept méditations
tant internes qu¹externes. Caverneuses ou solaires. Toutes cordes
rentrées et lissées ou échevelées et tentaculaires.
Ring ou alcôve. Sens fustigés ou caressés. Roseaux
balayés " entrefouettés " ou gros chêne
sonore en démantibulation. Brouillons sentimentaux chiffonnés
en boule, ou tracés épistolaires limpides et aériens.
Belle prestance. - Strings & Things in the Bass Clef The seventeen short solo pieces performed by bassist Wilbert de Joode vary in length from 1:39 to 4:28 and demonstrate concepts or attitudes that his imagination can draw from this instrument. Ranging from simple riff-like plucking through abstract plaintive song bowing to scrape/ knock/ rattle conversations utilising both sides of the bow, he illustrates a wide ranging dialogue hinting at his powerful presence. Ig Hennemann describes this music thus: "Ša suite of improvised,
short, wayward, witty, gloomy, beautiful and freakish bass solo's played
on a chamber bass G.F. Lott ± 1840 with gut strings using a self
built bow and demonstrating all kinds of pizzicato techniques". A
superb recital captured by recordist Dick Lucas. 'Nuff said!
