Okay…so Godzilla comes to YOUR town and wants to get funky. What does it sound like?

When I first came to Japan, there was a time when I spent three months homeless and living out of a coin-locker at Shibuya station. Eventually, I got out of that situation. I’ve always had my bass though. One day in about the year 2000 a friend gave me a four-track cassette recorder he found sitting on a dumpster in the street. I took it back to my first apartment, plugged in a Korg drum-machine which was on loan from another musician friend, and went to work on a silly drum track and added some back-masked fret-less bass-lines…something I had always wanted to do…later…I dumped that into Nuendo on my mac and added a silly synth patch so Godzilla could feel the funk.
