Albums
I enjoy creating emotive and melodic compositions using extreme extended-range 7, 8, 9 and 10-string electric basses as the principal instruments. From sub-contra to delicate piccolo bass occasionally accompanied by synthesizers or effects and e-percussion to construct instrumental aural landscapes for focused listening or sonic backdrops.
I am also able to perform with local bands playing Blues, Electric Blues, Blues-Rock, Rock, Progressive, Smooth, Americana when the opportunities present themselves.
Thank you to all those who have listened, enjoyed and propelled the tunes to their place in the site statistics.
Band/artist history
Playing music is hard-wired into my existence. Whether solo or ensemble.
I started playing acoustic guitar in my pre-teen years. Did a bit of rhythm electric guitar, but discovered bass guitar in the late 60s. I have played in many Rock and Blues/Rock bands from then until recently.
I discovered extended range bass in the mid-late 90s. Evolution from that point has been my focus.
My Voyage album was a first out 2-year personal adventure on the early 2000s. Heavily reliant upon multi-tracking for the finished product.
For the future, circa 2021, after years of creating a singular extended range bass voice and compositions to bolster it, future efforts at recording and extrapolating on the roots planted with my first album effort hope to engage a listening audience that embraces a broad range of ambient, relaxation music.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Yes, I enjoy live performances...whether solo or ensemble. I particularly like it when artists can collaborate and through their musical chemistry, create extraordinary emotive pieces.
What equipment do you use?
Custom made extended range basses by Bill Conklin, Jerzy Drozd and Chris Stambaugh for my solo works, with the custom Conklin 7 being a go-to for ensemble works. Amplification and speaker systems are task-specific and are designed to be modular. I am able to cover a very wide variety of backline supported and otherwise combinations for my sound.

I added 5 instrumental songs recently. They are remixes of tunes recorded in a local studio in 2011 that I mostly tucked away. I decided to remix them and post them here. They can be identified by the prefix 020625. These are one take, no overdubs or otherwise…so they are “live in the studio versions”. I have newer versions of two of these and more yet to record.
I found you by pressing some "tag-thing" on my own homepage. Positive and great music and playing! I can´t help thinking about the german guitarist "Emanuell Götsching" of "Ashra Temple" when I hear the last tune "the talisman" on the list and...havn´t I heard you on "bass world radio" or among some extended range bass players (ERB-players)on some page? I don´t need more than four strings right now but seven strings would be expressive - two down and one up. I have thought that thought... But many ERB-players don´t really create sub-bass from a low B or an even lower F#, it is just like if the overtones of those sub-bass-tones create a more slow vibrating feeling to the normal bass tones low down on a 4-string, I think. And don´t forget: many people, especially older people, cannot hear for example 30 Hz at all (something around the low B). But anyway, great music and good luck to you!
wow! your bass pieces are just... wow! very inspiring! thank you so much for the inspiration!
