ABOUT

Looking for other musicians to collaborate with, and record or do some gigs.

Picked up Electric Bass again in 2018, and am quite committed to it after decades of not playing. After [years of] COVID woodshedding, I'm at the point where I'm able to easily absorb by ear, and putting focus on material causes it to sound pretty good. With some time to practice, I could easily bring skill to bear playing Upright Bass using my NS "stick" bass.

I've been seriously upping my game with Rhythm Guitar, learning a lot of expensive chords, and keeping groove. I've also been working on basic keyboard skills, using Bitwig's synthesizer engines as the audio layer. I couldn't do keys live, though.

My latest big push is improving my multitrack recording and mixdown skills. The tracks from Empathy in my music list are examples.

I occasionally pay the fee to send messages here, so I don't feel bad about saying: If you want to contact me, my username here is also my "g male" account name.
