#instrumental #groovewithoutgrooving

I mentioned this idea of grooving without a groove as a bass player during @robynmackenzie's Bandcamp listening party last week. As a musician who is primarily a bass player, the idea of being "in the pocket" has become quite firmly ingrained during my half century of playing. As a composer, it helps to break the mould now and then. So, since FAWM this year, during my practise sessions, I've been working on bass lines that don't sit quite so much on the beat. And this is the result.

You've managed to incorporate your intentions without ramming down the listeners throat. I thought maybe this is going to be 'really' off beat to prove a point, but actually it just works its magic without making a fuss about it. The bass is of course perfectly on point. Like the plucked strings at the start, kind of reminds me of some music over a spring scene as nature emerges.
Nice, soft production here. I like all of the sounds to include the bass. Great sound!
whoa this sounds awesome!! Love the description and your execution of playing bass freely. I like it a lot!
I guess what I'm saying is that when I finally come up with my idea for an animated series, you're on the short list for composers lol.
