Musica: All That Is Solid Melts Into Air

From official and unofficial maps of Singapore, to picnic grounds in the midst of Petrochemical vats in Altona, to mid morning drunken dances outside Kensington station…

Nick Tsiavos returns to La Mama HQ where it all began.

Show credits: Nick Tsiavos, double bass

“….these bare yet lush pieces let the emotions soar – the use of a single instrument creates an unparalleled immediacy and closeness….this is music that speaks very directly to the soul…”
Andrew Hollo, Hybrid PBS Radio
“…..absolutely solo and absolutely improvised. A double-bassist who really can bow - here, with some edge and oomph”
Doug Spencer, The Weekend Planet, ABC RN
“What a stunning recording! It captures the essence of the solo acoustic bass....”
Owen McKern, Delivery 3RRR FM
“…Tsiavos illustrates the instrument’s brooding strength and breadth of communicative impact, as well as exploring its unexpectedly wide range and remarkable powers of resonance.”
Clive O’Connell, The Age
