Bass Communion

Bass Communion is a side project of Steven Wilson, best known for his lead role in the rock band Porcupine Tree and also of the bands No-Man, Blackfield, and Incredible Expanding Mindfuck (IEM).

Bass Communion's albums have often featured collaborations from other musicians, including Robert Fripp of King Crimson, saxophonist Theo Travis, Bryn Jones (also known as Muslimgauze), and Vidna Obmana.

The records released under the name Bass Communion are in an ambient or electronic vein - lengthy drone-heavy compositions. They come about as experiments in texture made from processing the sound of real instruments and field recordings.

The recordings have been released through specialist labels Headphone Dust, Burning Shed and Tonefloat, amongst others.
