A short and nasty distorted bass solo. played on a 4 string with no overdubs,no picks,and 100% improvised.
Daydreams Daydreams
Another blast from the archival past,this tune was recorded sometime between 92-93 in Myrtle Beach,S.C at Cherry Grove Studios.It features the quirky and highly hyper Paul Weaver on guitars and vocals and myself on bass and drum programming.
Deep Medicine Deep Medicine
From the archives! A straight ahead and understated bass drive,super distorted 8 string bass embelishments,'monkish' atmosphere. Nuthin' fancy,just 'intrusive ambience'.

I write an appologize for "acclaiming" especially the song watering the moon for being "untight" a long time ago. I had just a fight with my metronome then and could not really hear free time music.
Great production!!!
