Mohini Dey interviewed by Rick Beato

[Dr. Cheese]

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what the bass she was playing is?

It’s a European boutique, I forgot the name.

That was great. Thanks for posting. Much more well rounded musician than her slap happy clips all over the internet would suggest.

 

[PrimitiveMan]

Love her adaptation of Indian rhythms on bass

Her style continues to mature, can't wait to watch her as she grows more and more

That's a funny way to say "I don't know."

Thank you. I was sure I'd seen the shape before but couldn't quite put my finger on it.

Most interviewers have a list of topics and material that they want to cover and frequently have to put the subject at ease to get them to open up….Not here!

She is an interviewers dream.

 

[wintremute]

That's a really pretty bass.

Rick: Talk to me about yourself.

Mohini: ok...(starts to weave a fantastic story of family and structure and music and love).

 

[Fonkamex]

That's a really pretty bass.

That’s a crazy beautiful custom bass

My favorite quote from this: “Music is about soul, feeling, and intention” at 22:37

I would think that the Youtube-generation bassists typically feel a lot of pressure to play chops more than anything else.

Not a Youtube thing. Bach and Mozart became famous because of their brutal technical skills, the way they could build upon any cadenza. Same for Chopin, Liszt, Paganini, then in jazz Scott Jopplin, Gardner, Parker, Coltrane, Page, Hendrix, Jaco, Van Halen, fame always was about being flashy and impressive.

Alert!:Note to self:She's touring with Greg Howe Oct/Nov!

Sure, virtuosity is like a sugar hit for a lot of people - and Youtube makes that sugar hit available to millions at the click of a button. So there is added incentive for people to focus just on providing that sugar hit.

Yeah, nothing wrong with talent and dedication paying the bills

 

[JRA]

Thru that insane talent is a hook for people like us, musicians. For the regular listener there must be a connection with the music played. The complexity of some musicians doesn’t equals popularity, indeed is maybe the opposite.
What I mean is musicians like Mohíni Dey are more popular amongst musicians than the regular listener. I appreciate her immense talent and hard work, however I can’t feel any particular connection with her music.

It’s a European boutique, I forgot the name.

If I owned that company, she'd have been endorsing that bass already.

She does like dozens of others.
