Mike's solo double bass work began circa 2007. He holds an active interest in developing, extending and refining technical possibilities for the double bass. he has been paying close attention to bowing techniques, in particular the tremolo technique. He is exploring the multiple layers which these techniques produce, and is investigating how these techniques, sustained over particular durations, create their own sonic atmosphere, giving form to a piece of music. form and content go hand in hand. There is a constant relationship between the action, the sound of the action itself, and the sounds that are created as a result of the action - existing independent from the action.
