In an audacious musical pursuit, Steven Wilson once again pushes the boundaries with his new Bass Communion album. Defying the standard protocols of melody and rhythm, he embarks on an experimental journey influenced by the likes of Pink Floyd.

Steven Wilson is no stranger to the unconventional, but with the release of his latest Bass Communion album, he takes a divergent path that both intrigues and challenges the listener. The album titled ‘The Itself Of Itself’ is an avant-garde exploration where conventional musical components like melody and rhythm take a back seat to pure sound experimentation

  • Exploring the unorthodox: Wilson prides himself on pushing past the boundaries that define ‘normal’ music. He remarks about deterring from creating music that’s purposely ugly or excessively noisy without substance.
  • Sonic substance over style: With ‘The Itself Of Itself’, Wilson strips down composition to its bare essence. Here, soundscapes take precedence, telling stories and evoking emotions in the absence of traditional harmonics.
  • The Pink Floyd Connection: Wilson credits the legendary Pink Floyd as an early influence for his exploratory approach. Their iconic sound is a touchstone for his journey into the deeper realms of auditory experience.

While some may find this avant-garde move puzzling, it’s an endeavor that encapsulates Wilson’s courage to explore the unknown territories of music. He invites listeners to join him in this odyssey, even if it means talking them out of expectations for a typical audio experience.
