Flash! Ah-ah! Saviour of the... 

Well that's what he did way back when. These days he's more concerned with scheduling date nights with Dale Gordon ne Arden and making sure his back pain meds are in good supply. 

A rare ballad, instrumental for now, maybe I'll add vocals. Sci fi sounds make me think of Flash Gordon and the slow tempo makes me think he's slowing down a little these days and getting introspective.

The tune is piano and bass driven (big surprise huh?). I really like the dynamic piano and I avoided squishing the master so hopefully the dynamics will show through. 

Drums, fretless electric bass, bowed upright bass, synth, piano, rhodes, baritone guitar, some shouts.

Sometimes solo, sometimes with a band, I try to approach rock and roll with a jazz mentality where each show is different.

Also do recording and live bass sessions for others, paint and design album covers and other rock merch and paraphernalia. 

I used to play bass for Toshio; guitar and sing for wavegaze trio Dolphins Don't Love; play synth and bass in Brian Bonz & The Major Crimes.

Studio rat. Genre hopper. Bass & piano player. Writer and builder. Lover of cheeseburgers.

I specialize in the "mistakes are interesting" school of production. So depending on your point of view my selections will either be sloppy or chock full of character. Feel is king. I hate making music with a mouse. Real pianos, tube guitar amps, and a lifetime of listening applied. 

Music and production I like for various reasons: 70's style jazz fusion, Headhunters during Chameleon phase, Frank Zappa, George Duke, Lou Reed, Bill Laswell, Rudy Van Gelder, Tower of Power, The Crusaders, The Meters, Steve Earle, Dwight Yoakam, John Prine, Kev Hopper, Mark Egan, Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, Art Pepper, Thelonious Monk, Charles Bukowski, Larry Graham, Peter Gabriel, Niacin, Spinal Tap, Bros. Johnson, Bootsy, Jamerson, Die Kreuzen, Dead Kennedys, Film Noir, The Cramps, Propaganda, Buddy Holly, Surf Guitar, Captain Beefheart, Neil Young, Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, Rolling Stones, Western Swing, Scrunch up your nose stank Funk, modular synth music, ambient, soundtracks, early pre-baroque music.

"WOODMANi.vierck" and "The Viking Dragon" is a composer and producer of a wide range of music styles.
Biography:
Born in 1952 and In 1956, the small composer Johannes Vierck was introduced to the "Big wide world of music" by his parents. At that time he got private lessons from the music director of Schleswig-Holstein . He achieved both the theoretical and the practical (instrumental) knowledge. These included inter alia Buttons, wood, sheet metal and wire taut instruments. His greatest passion, however, were the brass instruments (preferably the first voice on the jazz trumpet ..). First, the small "Johannes Vierck" was formed in Carian style, but with age he also learned other interesting facets of the music. In the 60s and 70s his role models included artists such as Jean Michael Jarre, Deep Puple, Santana and even Jimi Hendrix. After his musical education, Woodman first came to another career, in which he was musically not quite so active. However, this changed in time, as Johannes Vierck hired a new employee in his company. This person infected him again with his enthusiasm for music ...
Since that time (August 2003) Johannes Vierck has composed music in more different styles than ever before. These range from new-classical, ambient, pop and even techno areas. 
Johannes Vierck hopes you will enjoy this treat to your ears.
