Bass Stories is the latest bass EP by Axel Kühn. It contains 8 originals penned by Axel Kühn. The main focus is on the double bass, but on some tracks the electric bass, vocoder, drums and percussion are also used. The CD's opener is a small bass suite called “The Land of Contrasts”. An India tour with the Klaus Graf Quartet in February 2020 inspired Axel Kühn to compose this piece. The first part of the composition was created on the beach in Goa and reflects the energy and joie de vivre of the region on the west coast of India. The rest of the composition is more melancholy and sets some of the darker sides of the country to music, such as poverty, the extreme gap between rich and poor, and environmental pollution. The other short stories are about everyday things like love, the sun or breathing. But also fictional stories about a witch's broom or the fantasy word Lennlu find their place. With "Bass Stories", Axel Kühn shows impressively how emotional, varied and captivating a bass album can be. He is a musical poet who knows how to tell exciting stories.
