698: Miles Perkin on extended techniques - a podcast by Jason Heath

Miles Perkin is exploring fascinating musical territory with the double bass.  Originally from Canada and now living in Berlin, he recently released a solo bass album called Subtones that mixes voice, bass, and extended techniques in unexpected and compelling ways.

In this conversation, recorded in March just before the pandemic fully shut down the globe, we talk about his background the Berlin experimental music scene, and much more.  Enjoy, and be sure to follow Miles on Facebook and Instagram!
