Petrol Blue

The first bit of evidence of the collaboration between Crimson ProjeKct/Adrian Belew Power Trio bassist Julie Slick and British bass experimenter Steve Lawson. They recorded and gigged together in April 20014, along with drummer and guitarist Andy Edwards. Watch for more soon! 

This duo track was recorded in a session at Kidderminster College, and has Julie's bass sounding almost like a mellotron, playing the arpeggiated figures all the way through, with Steve playing the melody at the start, and the moving bassline later one, as well as the layers and then the pad part right at the end… 


now out on an album called Marinate - here's how you can get it: http://www.stevelawson.net/2014/07/more-new-music-new-album-with-julie-slick/

Julie Slick and Steve Lawson - first duet (rough mix)

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.
