Indian bass prodigy Mohini Dey recently appeared in a clip with YouTuber and musician Rick Beato on his YouTube channel, providing insight into what she finds hard to play as a bassist.
According to Dey, the most demanding aspects of bass playing involve navigating through complex polyrhythms in time signatures like sevens, sixes, and fives. Polyrhythms, characterized by the simultaneous use of multiple rhythms, add a layer of sophistication to music, requiring a high level of skill and precision from the performer.
Playing in such unconventional time signatures demands not only technical prowess but also a deep understanding of rhythm and timing and reflects Dey’s dedication to mastery, as she continually seeks to expand her musical horizons and challenge herself in her artistic journey.
The short clip of Dey’s appearance on Beato’s channel is set to be part of a larger interview that will be published in the coming days.
