Forms & Poses is Norwegian bass player Christian Meaas Svendsen’s second solo album, and features four compositions/improvisations which explores the physical connection between the human body and the double bass. Although recorded in two entirely different settings, it is clear that Svendsen’s mind-set on all these tracks are one and the same, and the release shines as a condensed representation of his creative diversity. The CD version comes with a 24-page long booklet with linear notes and pictures illustrating the physical relationship, all of which are to be found on the backside cover of the LP version.
