Solo acoustic bass, in a musical but minimal/artsy mode that wouldn't be out of place in a Laurie Anderson / Philip Glass kind of world. Many tracks latch onto one sound/riff, often a fast-clip splash of notes, and repeat that sound with small variations along the way.

Cool stuff; don't be frightened away by the "solo bass" stigma.

1- Fast, rushing bowed notes, very "waterfall" like
2- A cool jazz walk, slow and spare
3- Fast-pulsing drone.
4- Fast jiggling
5- Bouncing minor-key rhythm, kind of slow
6- A reprise of #1, maybe with a bit more drama
7- Moody. Slow and squeaky.
8- Mournful and singing. A beautiful little piece.
9- A swinging encore: A pizzacato jazz standard
