Steve Lawson and Michael Manring - strange improv...

Free live Manring/Lawson EP - http://soundcloud.com/solobasssteve/sets/steve-lawson-and-michael-manring-liv...

Live improvised piece from a gig in California in January, this is the end of a much longer piece, that started all gentle, and got pretty weird just at the point this video starts...

Steve Lawson and Michael Manring have been playing together whenever they can for the last 7 years or so. They've never played together NOT on stage, and have a particular love for just starting playing and seeing what happens, as with this video. Sometimes it's folky and gentle, other times it goes very strange indeed, as on some of this clip.

NOTE - the frequency spectrum of this clip is really wide, and it'll probably sound very jumbled on laptop speakers. We recommend the use of headphones!
