This is a sleepy little late night number I've been messing around with over the last couple of days. It features the bass guitar as the song was conceived while playing bass. As a matter of fact the structure of the song was written on the bass. Other instruments used are: Guitar, e-bow, and wine glass. This is, again, a work in progress, but it's intended to be an instrumental piece. If it sounds a bit like Tortoise thats because they have always had a big influence over my song writing.

Very nice and refreshingly different.  Quite interesting and great use of the E-Bow.

beautiful Eric. Simply fantastic.

John, Justin, thank you. Unintentionally I suppose, it's my little tribute to Tortoise. Of course I'd need a slew of talented musicians around me to even come close to the complexity they achieve in there music. Nevertheless they certainly influenced this song.

Ahhhh drifting off to dream-land..................

Very nice mellow piece here Erik - nice work !!!

Excellent atmospheric work.

[Geir]

This is just stunning !!! Soundtrack music in the best kinda way !

[Vanncad]

Nice, peaceful little tune here Eric.
I like the tone of the bass for this type of tune. Not quite familiar with an "Ebow". I think I saw one in an old gGuitar magazine once.

Sounds cool though.

Wiley, Tommy, Geir, Side effects (name?) thank you very much!!! It is a bit dreamy probably because I was up until 3am writing last night.

Geir, I love instrumental music, probably because I can't sing, I also consider myself to be a very visual person as well. That being said, I would love to take on the challenge of writing a score for a film someday. Question is how do you get discovered???

Vanncad, thank you. I like the tone of the bass as well, it's the "twangster" effect on the MBR. It's more designed for (six string) guitar but I found it to give the bass a nice rich tone. I'll be using it again thats for sure.

The e-bow is basically like a sustain pedal. I haven't messed with it too much, as a matter of fact this is the first time I've recorded with it. I need more practice.

thanks again everyone!!!
