Frank Köster Frank Köster Braunschweig Since summer 2013 I use SoundCloud to disseminate and exchange small pieces of music which I usually play on bass. Beside my current band in the area of rock and old school punk-rock this is an important activity to keep a proper balance between my day-time profession in academia/research and my private life. In particular, when I started recording, my idea was to compose music for elevators and phone waiting-loops. The first recordings I did with my BOSS RC-30 looper, which I still use today for practicing quite often. The tracks are mostly created in an ad-hoc approach and the ideas remain as raw as they were during first shot. Due to time, the effort for post-processing is always kept very low ;-) In addition, I write reviews on basses. A first try, you find on the Web-Site of the German manufacturer Bassart – the review is about my Amazing Standard (see the links below). A further review addresses my 6-string Groover from Ralf Börjes build in 1995. This is the by far coolest bass on the planet. The article was published in the German magazine Bassquarterly (Nov./Dec. Issue in 2017 – see the links below).
