Petrol Blue

Bass and Voice cover of this Slipknot track, from 'The New Standard' - the Edinburgh Fringe show that Julie and I performed for a week or so the festival in 2006. 

The arrangements on this project are some of the trickiest I've ever done, this one was particularly satisfying. 

(also of note is that I still had flatwound strings on my fretted bass at this point, hence that gorgeous warm jazz guitar-ish tone :) ) 

for more about Julie and what she's doing now, see http://www.juliemckee.com/ - lots of lovely music there! 

Steve Lawson and Julie McKee - Vermilion (Slipknot Cover - 2006)

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.
