Monsters was commissioned by Claus Freudenstein, leader of the international
double bass ensemble of the same name who play rock music as a double bass
quartet. The piece begins with an introduction in epic style where, little by
little, the music reaches a climax and from here the main piece begins, which
was inspired by the British Heavy Metal 'Iron Maiden'. To give the maximum
possible realism I wrote it the same as any song of this style, with slow and
fast differentiated parts, lyrics and chorus, guitar solo... Accompaniments
with a rhythmic force along, with virtuosic solos, make this piece very fresh
and very forceful. The changes of sections and modulations surprise the
audience at every moment and the piece transmits an energy that soon
spreads.' Bassist and composer Simon Garcia was born in Mugardos (Spain) in
1977 and graduated in double bass from the Conservatorio Superior of
Salamanca. He has worked as a double bassist in the Royal Orchestra of
Galicia, having also performed in many orchestras throughout Spain, and is
the bassist in the Symphony Wind Orchestra of A. Coruna. He has collaborated
with many musicians and ensembles, particularly in the field of contemporary
music, and has recorded and performed on many commercial recordings and for
television and radio broadcasts. Simon Garcia has composed more than thirty
works for double bass, ranging from two to six players, alongside
transcriptions of these pieces for various chamber ensembles. His music has
been performed in Mexico, Venezuela, Uruguay, Denmark, Spain, Japan, Italy,
Austria, Germany, Canada, USA and UK by The Bass Gang, Bass Instinct and Il
Quint-etto amongst others, and some of his music was used as teaching
material in the 2011 ISB Year of Collaborative Music. Simon Garcia's music
is lively, jazzy and rhythmic with great forward momentum and drive.
Accessible for players and audiences alike, he writes colourful music of
distinction and energy, employing the entire range of the double bass.
