This is the second installment of the DANO project, a series of solo electric bass recordings on a Danelectro 3412 bass. Where the first was about the pure sound of the instrument and was improvised, DANODUE is all songs.
LIPS is thinking about my brother, who goes by Cakes.
JOE MCPHEE was recorded twice, but you hear the telephone demo here.
PLOW FLEET RADIO and the rest of this record was made during a Nor'easter and couldn’t help being named after the yellow and orange trucks working the street out the window, all that day and night.
STACKS is clearly to Stacks, and CROPS for the Colonel. I think about the sound of their playing all the time.
1936 is the only one of these songs that’s been played elsewhere, it was written for a solo show in 2019.
All of these were recorded in single passes and then left alone, though I would have loved to edit the major clam on STACKS. Per the rules and to obtain more “wood” sound from the bass, no overdubs, effects or preparations were used.
