2600 by Jean Baudin
All tracks recorded using only a Kenneth Lawrence 11-string bass and pedalboard.
No drums/drum machines.
No keyboards/synths.
No vocals.
No sound fx/samples.
No plug-ins (besides compression during mastering).
Having recorded my previous two solo “bass” albums with a strict set of boundaries (no overdubs or edits), I wanted to try something different for my third album.
I’ve always been fascinated with effect pedals; especially those that completely changed the way my instrument sounded. For this album, I thought I’d have fun and experiment. Armed with only my 11-string bass and a massive pedalboard, I’ve attempted to make a bass/guitar solo album that sounds nothing like a bass or a guitar (most of the time).
The end result, I feel, falls somewhere between a sci-fi movie score and a 8-bit video game soundtrack. I hope you dig it as much as I enjoyed making it.
