Experienced 25 y.o. bass player from Italy with a Master degree in jazz music and an innate interest in all kinds of music. Worked for a couple indie italian singers (live and studio), live with multiple jazz projects, 4 months in Sicily with a party band and 5 months on a cruise ship, and also as a music educator for three years now.
Hi there, Matteo from Italy here ;)
I'll be happy to collaborate with you for whatever project you have in mind, from contemporary jazz, to earwormy pop songs, experimental, classical, ethnic music or even brutal prog metal if you need!
I play electric bass and upright in a different array of styles and techinques, i can play fingerstyle, pizzicato, slap, tapping, palm muting, with a pick, with a bow, using also different effects. I can read sheet music first-sight, i can arrange music, compose my bass lines, improvise (solos or bass lines) and i have quite an open mind towards experimentation (playing the upright with a pick, a slide, and thru a heavily distorted signal? count me in!). I also can play guitar (classical and acoustic mostly but also electric), ukulele and flute.
Contact me through the green button above and let's get to work.
My turn-around time is variable due to my busy work situation, but it's in my best interest to complete the works in the fastesr time possible, and we can reasonably discuss over revisions/changes.
- Warwick Corvette German Pro Series 5 string bass (roundwound strings)
- Fender Jazz Bass American Special 4 string bass (flatwound strings)
- Hora Student upright acoustic bass
