Andy Salvanos again recorded a very good album. You can buy it at a good price together with the "Dream Recall". https://andysalvanos.bandcamp.com/album/transform |

Yep it's good. Very musical. Deceptively complex music. Very relaxing. My new "rush hour in L.A. on the 405 freeway" driving CD. Solo Stick at it's finest. |

Listened to one track so far. Great playing, and what a sweet bass tone! |

Wow, just beautiful! Sounds almost like he is using a capo on the melody(or high strings on the bass side) for all those lush pull-offs. Mike |

Hi guys, What can I say - thanks everyone. Glad you're liking the music. Was going to post an "announcement" about this, but to be honest the last 3 months are a blur. Thankfully, you guys beat me to it. Post-Christmas has been kind of crazy too. I had a colonoscopy yesterday and am flying to Tasmania tomorrow for a few festival gigs. That's probably more information than anyone needs about my life. Just a few notes about the album: - CDs will also be available from CD Baby shortly. If you live in the US, this option (with free shipping) is even cheaper than my Bandcamp pricing, I think. Note that the CD and Bandcamp downloads have 17 tracks. All other download/streaming outlets feature the 16-track version. - The Stick was recorded in mono throughout. This is how I've been playing live lately, and I wanted to capture that sound. So there's no separate processing on any of the main bed tracks. Obviously, a few of the pieces have overdubs, and some different delays etc. - No capo, but I have been using a barring technique extensively for years now, hence the open string type sounds. There's a pretty crappy video on YouTube of me playing the piece "Sturefors", if you go and have a look, you'll see what I mean. Thanks again for listening, happy 2017 to all. Andy |

I played imaginary conga to the tracks while listening at work. Andy grooves like a percussionist. Why not perform with one? R |

Collaboration is high on my list this year, and would like to work with a conga player. It would definitely open some new doors for me too. In terms my daily playing routine, it would also be a challenge. I enjoy being my own boss, and I'm generally fixated on making a living. But it's definitely something I'm interested in doing from time to time. I recorded Stick parts for a few different projects this year, so I had the chance to work with percussion. I believe that playing solo Stick has gradually improved my groove and my timing. I was never a metronomically gifted bass player; I was always secretly co-dependent on drummers. On my own, I wasn't great. I could slap, of course, but everyone knows that slapping is the easiest thing to do (you know that, right?). Playing an instrument unaccompanied is a completely different ballgame, and I'm really just starting to feel confident about it. Cheers, Andy |
