If Kham Meslien’s compositions evoke the great outdoors, it’s because he borrows the narrative power of the double bass and the warmth of catchy melodies.

Accompanied by a looper and effects, a charango and percussion, he explores the sonorities of his instrument, superimposing loops and improvisations, evoking the early solo records of Henri Texier or pianist Nils Frahm.

You have to let yourself be carried along, and gradually realise the obvious: life is all about time and vibrations.
