About Me |
|
"Does the world really need another solo virtuoso bass stylist? If it's Aram Bedrosian, absolutely. The Burlington, Vermont native clears the purely technical bar and then some with a combination of slapping, tapping and chordal strumming of the Hamm/Wooten/Manring varieties ("Thumpty Dumpty" and "Terracotta" are head-shakingly intense), and he's pulling it all off live, as in "Look, Ma, no Pro Tools trickery." But Bedrosian's hidden treasures are twofold: first, he summons a rich, deep, almost instantly signature tone on everything he plays, enhancing difficult material with a clarity and warmth that goes easy on the ears; second, great care and patience is taken to develop melodies and classically-influenced chord progressions, and after the third listen to "Space Opera" and "Sand Castle," you discover that beneath the virtuosic surface of Aram Bedrosian lurks the heart of a budding composer." - Bass Player Magazine, March '08 "Another simply amazing and very original player, Aram has a style all his own." -Larry Hartke, founder of Hartke Systems "In a world that has been so lucky to hear the innovations of Jaco Pastorius, Victor Wooten, and Les Claypool, the performances on this album are no less significant in their brilliant, technical radiance." - Performer Magazine, March '08 read the entire review here "..as melodic as it is intense." - Bass Guitar Magazine "It's Remarkable work." - State of Mind Magazine "My vote for the greatest unsigned bass player in the world is, easily, for Aram Bedrosian!" - Jim Casey, Hartke's Greatest Unsigned Bassist "Beautiful work" - Michael Manring, former BPM Bassist of the Year “...I haven't seen many bass players whose playing commands the stage in the way his does.” - Brent Hallenbeck, The Burlington Free Press THE CD IS AVAILABLE HERE also available from iTunes, amazon, Napster, Cdaby and PayPlay
