Cole El-Saleh

Keyboardist/Key Bassist For Carolyn Wonderland Etc

About Me

I play keyboards and key bass in The Carolyn Wonderland Band. If you haven't heard Carolyn yet, YOU NEED TO. My keyboard work can be heard on Carolyn Wonderland's "Bloodless Revolution", Wendy Colonna's "Right Where I Belong", Aaron Calhoun's "Smoke And Ash" (as well as Aaron's upcoming "Insects Of The Underground" Project), Tolo Marton's "Colours And Notes", and about a hundred other projects. My own 2001 release, "Dark Room", is an Ambient/Organica departure from the piano/organ/keybass work for which I am known. I'm currently working with the venerable Chris Potter (vocals, guitar) on a new EBM project that is allowing me to explore a more aggressive compositional approach. Chris and I have co-written about a dozen songs and are in the process of readying them for release.
