Trying the double bass - first steps

It was a long time without news, yeah...
Though, I didn't waste my time and played a lot, both cello and the double bass. Now I try to achieve the state when I can express my feelings, my ideas freely, just directly express them in sound, without thinking about fingers and bow. This is not too easy yet, I'm not that skilled at playing with bow. But I make first steps toward this ease.
Here're some raw records - playing double bass, recorded at home, without any sound engineering at all. But I like the feeling the "huge violin" makes. I really enjoy the depth of bass sound and I gonna practice more to get it "mine".

All records are in ogg format.
