Influences
Focused currently on Musique Concrete (Pierre Henry, Parmegiani, Francois Bayle) where an emphasis on melody and harmony take a back seat to sound. My original noise / improv band FAT listened to a ton of ethnic, experimental and free jazz. Huge respect for Barry Guy, Peter Kowald and similar “free” bass players. Noise / drone groups like Sunn (((()))) and Wolf Eyes are in there as well.
Instrument experience:
- Bass Guitar:
- Moderate

EQUIPMENT
Various amps - Ampeg B2B, Mesa Boogie Walkabout, Markbadd, 18” JBL with Bryston 4B powering it. QSC PA for small gigs. Pretty functional studio / rehearsal space in Spencertown NY (30 minutes north of Hudson NY).
