Band Members: Im always interested to collaborate with people, all styles considered..of course be cool and laid back its a must!The bass samples on my site are recorded and mastered with apple garageband, and are all my own solo work.I tend to write as i feel. to be honest, i like to play with emotion and it cant be forced, if i feel ike it it usually comes out in the bass. If you are interested in collaborating and doing some work over the interenet then id be really happy to do that. cheers XXXX
