Mathieu Désy’s main corpus of instrumental works for polyphonic bass can be heard and seen in his newly released solo project, Glow In The Dark.

The Glow In The Dark music is available into a book titled Incandescent Songs for the Polyphonic Bass. It offers a series of compositions and arrangements that will allows you to develop polyphonic playing on the double bass.

Bass players can also learn about Mathieu Désy’s evolving technique in his instructional booklet titled Bass vs. Gravity. The work exposes a simple approach to instrumental technique that focuses on the importance of gravity.

This vision led him to develop the polyphonic bass, a unique approach that expands the harmonic capabilities of his instrument. Using a five-string double bass with the high string tuned to D, Désy created a technique where a bass line, chords and melody are played simultaneously.
