Tony Evans grabbing this after watching make weird music episode. mind melting, but beautifully

westernmost A tour de force of composition, technique and effects !

Wyman Brantley For a player with such a keen sense of melody and harmony, it almost should not matter what instrument Michael Manring has mastered. Almost. Because as you'll hear on this album, Manring has truly advanced and expanded the electric bass--and bass music--to an awe-inspiring degree; but the music is seductive enough on its own to please those who could not care less about virtuosity. Favorite track: Night is Darkness Enough.

about

These are solo bass pieces, recorded live with no overdubs and minimal editing. Although I use electronics to expand and extend the sound of the instrument, almost all this processing was done on the fly during the performances. These pieces were written to be played live using only the equipment the airlines will allow me to take with me when I travel!
