Working on some updated sounds for Sunday's Illuminated Loops gig, in the @moddevices MOD Duo - on top of the 13 stomp boxes, 2 Kaoss Pads, Jule Monique preamp and Looperlative LP1, this patch has 17 pedal emulations in it, and a ton of assigned MIDI controllers on the @keithmcmilleninstruments Softstep and my phone! You'll have to be there to hear it in full effect. Swipe to see close-ups of the layout 🙂🙂❤️❤️🎶🎶🖌️🖌️🎧🎧🎛️🎛️ #bass #music #bassplayer #bassguitar #improv #fretless #elrickbasses #teamelrick #solobasssteve #stevelawson #6stringbass #pedals #pedalboard #moddevices #modduo #digitalaudio #softstep #MIDI #birmingham #gig

Dave gets herself a new set of strings. From day 1 I've been stringing this bass with #Dunlop #superbrights - the sound is just perfect. #Elrick #bass #music #6string #TurnOnYourBrights #newstringday #solobass #solobasssteve

The title track from our fourth concert in January, from the FingerPainting: Complete set. It's pretty tough to tell who's playing what on this one at times, which only adds to the fun :)

From the last show of our January 2013 tour - a piece that manages to sound like glitchy ambient electronica AND African music at the same time. ...If DJ Krush was from Mali? :) The entire 10 show set is now finished: mixed, mastered, and available from http://music.stevelawson.net/merch enjoy!

The title track (and 2nd piece from the album), this starts out with another beautiful kora/gravikord prelude and then evolves into a beautiful mellow ambient electronica groove with a simple, catchy bass melody, and spaces out at the end with a trippy cadenza... very much a piece in 3 movements. With all the shit that's going on, it feels like a good time to be uploading music imbued with optimism and inclusivity. Hope you enjoy it. The full album is available as part of the FingerPainting: Complete set, via the 'buy' link...

Recorded in San Francisco on 2nd Feb 2013, This is pretty uncharacteristic of the gig it comes from, much of which was gnarly electronica. Dedicated to Nelson Mandela. Available as part of the FingerPainting: Complete set - see http://music.stevelawson.net/album/FingerPainting for more :)
