BITOI
Friday, Skeppet - 00:00
BITOI (Bass Is The Original Instrument) is a Swedish-Danish bass-voice hybrid featuring award-winning composer and bassist Cassius Lambert alongside singers Alexandra Shabo, Lise Kroner, and Anja Tietze Lahrmann. Though small in size, BITOI delivers a lush and razor-sharp sound. The trio blends raw power with delicate textures, layering close harmonies and dissonance over deep, pulsing bass lines. Their lyrics, drawn from phonetically transcribed bird songs, transform into chants that feel both ancient and fresh. BITOI embodies Cassius’s miximalism—extracting the richest sound from the barest tools: bass, voices, polyrhythms, and prepared textures—minimalism pushed to its edge.
