Description
Michael has played on 500+ recordings; he was the house bassist for the Windham Hill label in the '80s and has put out seven solo albums. He expands what electric bass can do by using many tunings, even retuning on the fly using a custom-built system, using his bass as a percussion instrument, and sometimes playing multiple basses at once.
We discuss "Excuse Me, Mr. Manring" from Soliloquy(2005), and "My Three Moons" and "The Enormous Room," both from Thonk (1994). The opening music is "Thunder Tactics" from Unusual Weather (1986), and we wrap up with "Unclear, Inarticulate Things" by Attention Deficit from Idiot King (2001).
