Solo double bass player Mark Cauvin has navigated an eclectic musical path focusing on the classical avant-garde in Australia. His solo concerts have included premiere performances of works by Karlheinz Stockhausen, Giacinto Scelsi, Fernando Grillo, David Young and Syd Clayton. Following his recent tour he recorded Solo Double Bass works for ABC Classic FM in Melbourne. In 2008 Australian Arts Council assisted Mark to produce a CD of works for solo double bass named Transfiguration.


“Double bass writing has never gotten tougher than this, and Cauvin digs deep... a brilliant debut.”
Philip Clark, The Wire Magazine

“Breathtakingly sensuous...Cauvin’s Transfiguration (CD album) leads us to a new appreciation of the musical possibilities of the double bass.”
