Tim Eriksen: Fretless Bajo Sexto Improvisation HD 720p
Музыка
One of my projects over the past year without gigs has been to finally create and work on playing this fretless bajo sexto. I've been playing (trying to figure out) bajo sexto since 2004. That's kind of a long story. I've wanted a fretless one for a long time, and finally got around to doing it this Spring. (Thanks to the Fretted Instrument in Amherst for putting on the beautiful brass fingerboard). I've been playing it a lot, and have a lot to learn.
The form of this improvisation is a sort of Americanized raga alapana. My main instrument of study has been the Saraswati veena, and much of my playing is modified from that technique and instrumental tradition (Karaikudi veena). On paper the structure of raga Shankarabharanam is analogous to Western major. In reality, not so much. I'm definitely in major here, although there may be touches of Shankarabharanam and maybe even Yamunkalyani.

Great call and response with the birds!
Hi Tim, from Minneapolis. Very nice to hear you on a fretless!
The irony of a company called 'Fretted instruments' helping to make it fretless!
Beautiful ♡♡♡
Stunning (both the instrument and the music). So happy to hear your playing
Wow, beautiful sound ... and a 1960's Pink Floyd light show on the fretboard to boot.
Fantastic sound - I haven’t heard much else like it!
Love this! Very relaxing, and the birdcalls in the background are great.
Nice
Beautiful sound, I love the brass fingerboard
Absolutely wonderful music! I wonder what would be a good name for this...
Beautiful
More of this!
Insane
Wow, cool stuff. How are you tuned? Some relaxing stuff man, great work!
Lovely, has a Hindi sound to it, almost like a sitar.
It sounds very Middle Eastern with the double string action and fretless fingerboard, kind of like an oud.
He thinks he's in Mumbai...
