Watching Water (2018)by TAC ProjectA journey in bass.
“Like a ghost. ★★★★”Fiona Ord-Shrimpton (All About Jazz)
The TAC Project is a journey to explore the various possibilities of what a single instrument can do. It led to the concept that a bass could be a melodic and harmonic instrument, in addition to holding down a bass line. As a player, creating the multiple tracks to accomplish this was difficult but exciting at the same time.
I’ve always believed that a true musician works towards mastering their own instrument but must have a concept of what all other musicians do to achieve the overall musical statement. It is with many talented people around me that this musical concept became reality. I couldn’t have done this without them. I hope that this music brings as much joy to everyone as it has provided me. I am truly blessed to have the wonder of Music to share!
Peace and Harmony!
