Hi everyone, time for an update. Well, I'm from Montreal, Canada (world's best kept secret ;) been living around Europe a while and just took up a job in the National Sypmphony of Ireland, Dublin. Slipped thru the eye of the needle this time. I'm a double bass player and play all styles of music, from jazz, blues, bossa, to indie, electro and rockabilly. Also play electric bass and sing. So would love to meet some musicians and/or actors to start some interesting projects. I have lots of experience and chops. Orchestras I've been in:Bergen Philharmonic, Norway; Malmo Symphony, Sweden; Orchestre de Chambre de Neuchatel, Switzerland; Stadtorchester Winterthur, Switzerland; National Symphony, Johannesburg, SA; Royal Philharmonic of Flanders, Belgium.
Musicals I've been in:
The Phantom of the Opera, Basel, Switzerland: 455 shows!!
Bands I've been in:
Roy Thompson and his Royal Acadians, rockabilly. European tours backing up 50's rocknroller Eddy Bond. Recorded and album at Spacemobile Studios, Paris, on vintage equipment. Here's the link the studio: http://monsite.wanadoo.fr/spacemobilestudio/index.jhtml
Veranova, bossa nova. Performed in Montreal.
In Dublin:
Well, it's been kinda slow going here, but you gotta love it. Am incorporating myself a band called The Jones (visit our site) , with my good friend Dave Naughton (Vocals, Guitar). So now we're busy arranging his tunes and looking for gigs. Look for The Jones in my Friends, or click on the link above, and listen to our on-the-fly demos done old school with one mike at my place.About the uploaded songs: on Summer Day I layered bowing to plucking the double bass to imitate a 'cello' line. Matt Tomlinson is on guitar. On Edgy I also layered bowing onto plucking to give it a nasty effect.
One of my other passions is martial arts and yoga, and would love to find a teacher to show me Chen style Tai Chi. Anyhow, drop me a line... Edward
