About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)...thank you Thomas for that .About mb: formerly trained as a classical guitar player, my real thing seems to be the electric bass and electronics. and i mean really electric, aside from pitch and volume there is this third dimension of sound i try to explore on and on. i was infected hearing jack bruce with cream live and the ultimate great rocksound of felix papparlardi with mountain, entwistles brilliant and unconventional playing and the german band kraan (with helmut hattler). long ago............ i am working as professional musician with different bands (various styles), cd projects with r. oppermann a german harp player, recordings with annabell owusu ansah, cd project with jfk a german overtonesinger (www.traumkultur.de), the main band seems to be "Pickup the Harp"(www.pickuptheharp.de), three cd productions and touring in germany and switzerland is the shedule. i love to cooperate with my good friend beg56, who can also be found on myspace. name of the band is Hidebound Heyday Helmets. Of course i have a cover band, too: The Bendo Band (www.bendoband.de). i have played a lot of musical stuff in theatre (Rocky Horror, Evita etc.), and have produced a radio-drama called "jackies erdbeermund", which will be soon available on my own website www.motherbass.de, look out for that. motherbass is a ongoing band project, with different musicians reflecting my contemporary state, some day we will be rich and famous (just kidding)................ at the moment marco and tomek (see my top friends) are the members as "motherbass project"one more thing:i would like to say that my son is now 13 years old, his second bass is a epiphone eb0 and when he is pumping "sunshine of your love", it touches my heart and soul, that this kid likes the old stuff too and of course flea and the foo fighters..only thing is: one day people will call and ask for him to do jobs. :-)
