This sounds rather nicely like Steve Rothery

Petrol Blue

Taken from the album, Closing In (only available to subscribers at http://stevelawson.bandcamp.com/subscribe ), this is another step on the journey towards my other new solo album. This one is an exploration of the impact of imperfection on the music - I've just had to switch from my main Looperlative (the looper I use) to my back-up (which is the original prototype), and it generates a lot more noise and pops and clicks than the new one did... it used to annoy me, but now I'm actually thinking it might add something interesting to the music, like vinyl crackle does... So this is that - let me know what you think..

the piece itself is an improv, starting out with a new-ish sound that uses a quite extreme tremolo setting to establish a rhythmic basis, with pitch-shifted reverb creating that initial ambient texture... fun times ;)

Imperfection - Steve Lawson (live solo bass)

An ambient improvisation on solo fretless bass (5-string), using three Source Audio Soundblox2 pedals: Manta bass filter, Multiwave bass distortion, and Dimension reverb. Lightly edited in Reaper.

Orion

A short improvisation on a Sigma (5-string EADGC fretted) acoustic bass, plus various effects. I was experimenting with adding a loop while editing in Reaper (by taking a short section of the solo and looping it).

Falling

A rough cut from the New Standard project with Steve Lawson

The New Standard

Don't Want to Know

All this Time is from the compelling new album by veteran songwriter Lobelia Lawson takes a fresh look at heartbreak; exploring themes of hope, renewal and confidence. Love Or Something Like It, produced by Juno award winning producer Rob Szabo, is modern, fragile and at times intense, with the witty tongue-in-cheek songwriting that Lobelia is known for. Releasing on Valentines Day as an album for the romantically disenfranchised.
