Over the past several years, I worked luthier and long-term collaborator Tim Kill, to design and construct a new string bass instrument that embodies my solo bass techniques and concepts. The three-year process involved numerous discussions, designs, prototypes, and building, with an emphasis on utilising locally sourced and recycled materials. The goat skin was procured and prepared by Matt Stonehouse, a drum-maker and musician.
Currently, I am developing music with the new instrument, and will be collaborating with composers and musicians from diverse backgrounds to create, develop, and perform new works. More details to follow.
