Jošt Drašler – double bass
»Drašler succeeds in producing an extremely wide
spectrum of sound expression with a rather "everyday" use of the
instrument, thanks to his technical skills in particular. The disk could be a
study guide to using a number of established strokes for playing the double
bass, whose combination and interplay raises the complexity of their
performance to a much higher level. In essence, Drašler's playing focuses on
simultaneous flageolet and rough droning, which together create a broad canvas
of sound, and which, like erratic balloons, welcome and temper the variety of
sound impressions created by the hands of this technically clever musician.
Dramatic glissandi, cracking and murmuring, passages in bursts and discreet
pizzicato, dynamic mood swings and a constructive dialogue between sound and
silence.« (Baroš 2018)
