Max Valentino,solo bass artist

"Mourning Guests Who Never Arrived" is a meditation/exploration of longing, intimacy and the Veils that divide people from each other as well as the emotional and spiritual dimensions of reality.

Scott Kungha Drengsen is a fretless bassist and meditation teacher living in Northern California.On this work(his second) he plays 6 and 12 string fretless basses with realtime looping effects to create music that is ambient and textural as well as deeply immediate and personal.Much of the music is unrecognisable as a bass as he enters a realm of pure sound;a melding of contemplation and improvisation aided on two of the tracks by vocalist NOOR.
