Björn Meyer Solo "Live from the Couch"

Electric Bass Live Solo Concert Cully Jazz Festival
On Sat. 4/4/2020 I should have played a solo concert as part of the unique Cully Jazz Festival which had to be cancelled due to the Covid19 regulations. In this period of lockdown I decided to turn my couch into a stage and record my first-ever "live from home" video. This is my way of spreading some love in these times through what I do - play the Bass.
Please enjoy the musical ride, stay safe, stay inspired and connected.
Til we meet again.

My story is very simple. Walking in the dark through the Jameos del Agua I saw a very tall man who tripped over one of the traps that they usually set in those places so that you don't stray from the path. That man was you and that night, with Anouar Brahem and Klaus Gesing, I understood his idea of ​​how to make a bass sound. Of course, I enjoyed it again the next day in the Cueva de los Verdes. Thank you very much, Mr. Meyer.

Hi Mr. Meyer, I hope you are doing well. I'm just writing to tell you a worderful story of Internet possibilities. In the mid 90's I was a 15 year-old teen in Brazil who wanted to play the bass. I also happened to be a Milla Jovovich fan, so I bought her Live at Liberty Lunch concert VHS. The whole band was awsome, but my favorite thing about that concert was the mesmerizing bass lines. I played that VHS so many times in my VCR that the thing worn out. Earlier today I was browsing RUclips for something pleasant to listen and of course I found that concert that some enlightened soul manage to upload. After finishing watching it I looked up Wikipedia to see if I could find the bass player's name and voilà. I am really glad I found your channel.

This is just stunning. The soundscapes are amazing, and the novel way they're constructed is inspirational. Bravo.

[@nick.valente_bass]

That was fantastic! I’m so glad this popped up on my RUclips feed. Playing and sound design were incredible.
What are the pedals you were using for this?

[@tonid2672]

Dear Björn, thank you so much for sharing this utterly stunning performance with us. Could you please give some insight on your setup and the effects you use?

[@bjornmeyer7523]

Thanks a lot for listening and for your inspiring appreciation - 🙏
.. my setup .. could be a long discussion but most important:
- MTD 6string bass that has been in my hands every day since I got it in 1995
- Metric Halo soundcard/preamp
- Efx all added to the straight sound by software - I use Plogue Bidule as a “pedal board” and mainly plugins by Soundtoys, Expert Sleepers, Valhalla.
- All Efx controlled via Midi/USB .. the pedals and knobs you see on the floor - no hands 😉
.. to make it short ..
