Album Notes & Community Reviews
Functioning as a masterful solo exploration of the double bass, '脌 cordes et 脿 cris' finds Henri Texier utilizing overdubbing and vocalizations to create dense, hypnotic textures. The album heavily draws upon spiritual jazz and global folk motifs, completely abandoning the need for traditional rhythm sections or chordal accompaniment. It is a stunning, deeply rhythmic testament to the boundless possibilities of the acoustic bass.
