When a friend started a "picture a day" project, I decided to attempt something similar, and am attempting to come up with 365 songs for bass in 365 days. That's why the titles are all dates. 

I also have a set of ground-rules for myself. Even though the pieces/songs/riffs don't have to be long (and in fact average a smidgin over a minute each) they do have to be expandable into proper songs. They must have an A (verse) and a B section and additions such as intros, outros and bridges are desirable. Each piece must be recognisably different from the others. And, as far as possible, I would like to write each piece from scratch every day. It's more of a challenge to my own creativity than anything else.

I am also trying to avoid using tools such as loopers or overdubs and hope to be able to complete everything using only my acoustic bass guitar. 

**********************************************
THAT WAS THEN... of course I didn't finish it. But now, 
four years later I have half a mind to complete the task.

Simon O'Rorke discovered improvised music while a student in London.  After emigrating to New Zealand, from 1992 he formed free improv ensembles in Wellington, at a time when activity in the genre appeared to be otherwise non-existent in the city.  Since the improv scene took off in 1997, O'Rorke has collaborated with many of New Zealand’s leading improvisors.  Originally a bass guitarist, he has specialised in percussion since 1997 and then, from 2010, synthesizers and software instruments.  In addition to his ongoing participation in collaborative improvisation, O’Rorke has very recently started to develop software electronic works.

Used to do electro. Now I do ALL KINDSA THANGS... COME AT ME BRO.
