I had the great opportunity of being able to interview the duo, Bastinado. They released their album “The Hard Six” at the end of September. It’s done quite well here during WKNC Afterhours, placing in the top 10 most played for weeks.
What makes this act very special and unique is their combination of the extremely old and cutting edge. Joseph B. Carringer has been playing the didgeridoo for over 15 years and Josh Harris is helping lead the way into a new era of insturments by performing with a Reactable Table. This odd combination results in intriguing house and dance music that you will not hear anywhere else.
Their album is free for download from their Facebook. They have also produced a very interesting short documentary about their group and the insturments they use, it is a great watch for anyone wanting to learn about the Reactable Table. It can be watched here on YouTube.
They were very nice guys and I’m glad to have gotten the chance to speak with them.
