Bass Communion is the solo electronic music endeavour of Steven Wilson.  Existing since the late 1990s, it focuses on his interest in ambient, drone and noise music, making use of heavily abstracted and processed instruments, as well as field recordings and pure electronic sound. Since the outset there have been many albums released under the name, as well as collaborations with many major names from the experimental music scene. For this extremely rare live appearance at OTO he will be joined by his friend Frans de Waard in his Modelbau guise for a 40 minute set based on works from the first all-new Bass Communion album in 12 years, The Itself of Itself, which will be released mid-May 2024 on Fourth Dimension’s sister label Lumberton Trading Company. Comparatively noisier and more impressionistic than previous Bass Communion works, it promises to be an intense listening experience in a live setting.
