Notes

the desert music pieces were spurred in part by an e-mail interchange with michael manring about middle eastern inflections—something to which we both seem drawn. i had done a few small recordings and sent him one. he encouraged me to do it live. while i don’t want to do that, i did end up doing five pieces. all the sounds in these pieces were made with bass guitar—often putting things in the strings and/or using alternate techniques to strike the strings. they were then assembled. the solo parts were done in one take and are unedited.

the song series pieces are solo bass improvisations with no edits. they are based—fantasias of a sort, if you will—on songs from the standard repertoire.
