Matthew Weber on SoundBetter

I have been playing bass for 29 years, I earned a masters degree from The Juilliard School and am a full time orchestral musician. I have extensive studio recording experience, working with bands, solo artists, orchestras and chamber ensembles; performing on both electric bass and double bass.

I am currently the co-principal bassist of the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, associate principal bassist of the Karlovy Vary Symphony Orchestra, and a member of the North Czech Capella (North Czech Chamber Ensemble).

Some record labels and artists I have worked for are Philip Glass, Deutsche Grammophon, Albany Records, Warner Music Taiwan, Nicholas Teo, Ewa Farna, Teodora Gheorghiu, Akudama, Lorette Schroth, Lisa Fitzgerald, Boston Modern Orchestra Project and recorded numerous movies scores with the Czech National Symphony orchestra.

I tend to be groove oriented in my bass lines no matter what style, at the same time I enjoy adding melodic twists to my lines and always think of what is best for the song.

I record through a FocusRite interface and have an array of bass guitars and two double basses (both four and five string). I am running reaper on a 6 core i7 MacMini with a Samson large diaphragm condenser mic and PreSonus near field monitors. Bowed upright bass lines/string parts also available.

I sought Matthew's expertise as I wanted a bass part for a song influenced by The Band. He was easy to communicate with, prompt and delivered a part which was right on the money. Highly recommended!
