As Mikko Järvinen’s fine documentary progresses, proud players with a passionate relationship with their instruments will emerge from the bassists.
About the bassists a narrative documentary described in the puff text as carnivalistic. So a lesson-long bassist joke is in the offing? Well not under warranty.
The delicate carnivalism comes from the ironic introspection of the bassists featured in the program. Bass is an integral part of popular music, but parents don’t take their children to play lessons to make them Bassists. Musicians are aware of this.
But as the documentary progresses, they hatch into proud musicians who also have a passionate relationship with their instruments. The bassists get a little joked at their own expense, but the program respects them.
Mikko Järvinen won the honorable mention of the Prix Italia festival with his documentary Drummer’s Secret Folders (2009). Since then, he has made several musician documentaries, followed by Someone has to play bass naturally settles.
Mika Säily already appeared In the drummer’s secret folders as a live drum machine. This time he is being interviewed and is also showing off his ability as a live bass machine.
Someone has to play bass, Radio 1 at 10:05 pm and the Arena.
