Medicine is the first single of the solo concept work from Berlin based Swiss / German bass experimentalist, improviser, and composer Benedikt Wieland. It also marks the beginning of a release series, which is a culmination of a three year-long research process into the notion of subverting traditional approaches and sound aesthetics associated with the electric bass. In other words, this work is based on a language that was specifically developed for this instrument, where, in the words of the artist: “the bass guitar becomes an orchestra, and is no longer bound to its traditional role as the foundation for harmony and rhythm.” Lukasz Polowczyk, the voice of AINT ABOUT ME, can be heard on Medicine, supported by saxophone player Simon Spiess. This piece can be best described as an inter-dimensional portal leading into the tessellated space underpinning our reality.

Written by Benedikt Wieland in Colaboration with Jan Bang and Alexandre j. Maurer.
Bass by benedikt Wieland
All sounds and effects played on bass only with tons of sound toys and pedals, which benedikt is using.
For all the background noises, he was using his field recorder with sounds from the city of berlin and the nature of switzerland
