Solo ambient performer
From Jon Hassell's band
to the solo stage.
I recorded and produced Jon Hassell's final two albums and spent the 2010s in his band. Now I perform solo ambient on bass guitar and Chapman Stick, carrying the Fourth World forward.

Now
Solo ambient
Solo performer on bass guitar, Chapman Stick, and live electronics. Carrying the Fourth World method onto the stage.
Lineage
I recorded and produced Jon Hassell's last two albums, and played in his band through the 2010s. This music comes out of that decade.
On stage
Solo ambient sets, played live: Chapman Stick, bass guitar, and electronics. Long tones, live processing, one performer.
The Fourth World project is being built for the stage as well, carrying Jon Hassell's live language forward. Promoters and festivals who want either set can reach me directly.

The records are on Bandcamp. Labels, promoters, and writers are welcome to get in touch directly.
