Interview and crazy solo performance with Florentin Ginot

In this second interview with French contemporary musician, Florentin Ginot shares with us some of his favourite extended techniques on the double bass. Be prepared to hear some new and wacky sounds and learn how to truly listen to the possibilities of the bass with Florentin's mastery of the instrument. We also challenged Florentin to improvise in our wackiest recording location yet: an old piece of machinery in an industrial cotton mill. So be sure to watch his performance at the end of the video.
