GIACINTO SCELSI (1905-1988): Scelsi Edition, Vol. 7 - Works for Double Bass: Nuits, Et maintenant c'est à vous de jouer..., Ko-Tha (transcr. Fernando Grillo), Maknongon, Mantram, Dharana for Cello and Double Bass (Felix Fan [cello]), Kshara for 2 Double Basses (John Eckhardt), Okanagon for Harp, Double Bass and Tam-Tam (June Han [harp], Tom Kolor [tam-tam]).

Description: Evocative, nocturnal music, sometimes of dreams, sometimes of nightmares, unusual sounds from scordatura tuning which allows quarter-tones and eighth-tones (making two instruments sound like a string orchestra), with overheated and entertaining notes from the editor of much of his music published by Editions Salabert. Three first recordings. Robert Black (double bass).
