Base & a Flyer is an experiment that started in 2018 when Alexander and I wanted to find out how a double bass and a violin would sound like bare, alone and together, without other instruments. The preassumption was that the bass would keep its role as a base and violin would fly high. But would it be possible to break these prejudices and become free in such a lineup?
Nea-Maria Korpeainen - violin, voice
Alexander Vocking - double bass
Musically we share a mutual interest towards Argentinian tango and tango is the core of our duo's musical language still today. The latest spice to our sonic brew has been nordic folk music, especially traditional music from Finland. Together we have been diving in to the melancolic beauty and explotive joy of the northern sound and these two music style are creating a really special atmosphere.
