“

The landscape he paints are orchestral, lush and textured”…He relies as much on what’s not played as what is; hence his understanding of concepts like space and gravity are naturally embedded into his art…One minute strains of Jaco Pastorius emerges; a few beats later, a throbbing white wall that would make Les Claypool Shake in his head before dropping into a dub groove reminiscent of Robbie Shakespeare.

Bass is one of the few instruments that is self-described by its sound. The sound can work wonders on so many levels by exploring and understanding the nature of sound.
