Tom Wheatley - Solo Bass

Following his freshly self-produced solo record, Tom Wheatley continues his dissection of the double bass, this time with home made machines and hearing aids. The proud instrument is lit alone, fed back to itself, 'hung' and forced to play its own epitaph. "Watching it back it's sort of like a courtroom drama with a slice of capital punishment at the end" says Wheatley.
