CHRIS GARTNER:
DREAMING TREES
2025
C.G. Production, engineering, arranging, mxing, mastering, and bass on all tracks
The album features fourteen compositions that feature bass guitar as the only instrument. No MIDI or synthesizers were used on this recording.
On this music, you will hear the bass sounding like human voices, East Indian percussion, orchestras, music boxes, animals, and much more. (no midi, just bass through various effects)
Chris has experimented with unique bass sounds for decades, and this album displays the rich palette that can be had when using the bass to go places it normally doesn't go.

"What an experience, a deep inward turning, esoteric, ethereal..
I felt like I was standing on the outside of an old barn, with my ear to a crack in the boards, eavesdropping on an alien fairy world"
- Pat Sandford
