Emotional Science ll; Home Bass; (2009) The follow-up CD to Emotional Science. Where Emotional Science was dedicated to the woody sounds of acoustic guitar solo pieces, this CD explores the deep, baratone timbers of bass guitar. On this CD some of the worlds best sounding basses sing haunting melodies and play about complex chord progressions, a 1972 Les Paul Recording Bass, a 1969 Hohner Fretless by Bartell were used. Aided by the talents of Jeremy Rench, Jeff also designed and built his custom fretless bass. Similar to Emotional Science, these compositions lay out a very pastel and tranquil scape, but the deeper you look for composition, the more you will find. |

Wood Steel and Bone; (2009) is simply as it sounds.
