BITOI

"HAI"

From -O-

Cassius Lambert is a Swedish-Ethiopian bass player and composer based in Malmö. His work pushes the boundaries of what an electric bass can do, and what contexts it can be put into. His bass playing can be heard in his project BITOI (Bass Is The Original Instrument) where he combines bass with a three piece choir, and Cassius Lambert Solo, a project where everything is composed and performed on electric bass without loops or overdubs.
