double bass podcast
Emilio Guarino has just launched a Kicksarter campaign for his chromatic endpin. Support has been great so far, but clock is ticking, so be sure to check out the campaign and pre-order or pledge your support!
Check out Emilio’s full Contrabass Conversations interview if you haven’t–it was a great conversation!
Check out more about the endpin in this video:
Originally from Ireland, Bernard O’Neill has been a bassist, arranger, and educator for over 30 years. He works regularly with Sinead O’Connor and Rufus Wainwright, and he recently put out a project called Syriana: The Road to Damascus.
It was a ton of fun to sit down with Clarineat podcast host Sean Perrin! Sean is a fellow music podcaster and just hit his one-year anniversary of podcasting, and we got a chance to sit down and dig into what he has learned in the process.
Today’s episode features Ted Botsford. Ted is currently a bassist in the Seattle Symphony and just won a position in the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Ted played in the Oregon Symphony prior to joining the Seattle Symphony.
Ted studied with George Vance while growing up in the Washington, D.C. area and continued his studies with Paul Ellison in college.
I have had a great time following along with Eric Steffens and his remarkable career over the years.
Starting off at Eastman studying with James VandeMark and then heading to Vienna to work with Alois Posch in Vienna, Eric won a position in 2012 as principal bass of the Philharmonie Südwestfalen.
What’s extra-cool to me is that Eric was my very first serious bass student. We worked together in the early 2000s, and it has been so cool seeing where life has taken him.
