2008 started with Trade shows in Anaheim, California and Frankfurt Germany. Meeting and interacting with many new and old musical friends. And from The Frankfurt Messe restarting the duet between me and Selvaganesh in earnest. We did some recording and touring during the year. Some with IA Eklundh as well. Part of that was at IA’s FreakGuitar Camp where we had a chance to get together with Jens and Anders Johansson for an Art Metal photo op.
I spent a good deal of time in 2008 with Warwick working on some new amp designs that hopefully will be available some time during 2009. Also had several occasions to get together with my old friend TM Stevens for some double bass jams. More of that in 2009 including a clinic tour around May sometime.
In November I was happy to reunite with Trilok Gurtu who I toured and recorded with in the 90’s for a tour organized by Herman Kathan and his Busch Werk percussion ensemble.
In June I got together with IA Eklundh, Patrik Jablonski and Vasteras Sinfonietta under Hans EK for a first ever electric performance of Beethoven’s triple concerto originally written for Violin, Cello and Piano. Hopefully we will get to do more of that.
