I got this beautiful Marcustico bass last year, and this album is a celebration of the instrument and of the power of music to give direction in hard times. This was all recorded during the pandemic, each piece was completely improvised regardless of whether it had a pre-determined form or not - there are no arrangements, just spontaneity. The pieces are comprised of grooves, sounds, moods... covering the wide range of feelings I had in these challenging yet unique times.

I'm making the album available for free, but if you'd like to make a contribution to the production costs by buying it, then please feel free!

This EP is full of light, smooth, complex instrumental passages that equally put you at ease and keep you guessing where they’re going next. It constantly treads the line between rock and jazz, and sax, electric piano, and guitar share lead duties fluidly.
