About

Michael Manring

InstrumentLevel
Bass Professional
Hailed by many as the world's leading solo bassist, Michael has been pushing back the
boundaries of what's possible with just a bass guitar for two decades, winning
thousands of fans and wowing countless audiences the world over with his stunning
compositions and mind-blowing technical mastery of the instrument. Since his time as
the house bassist for the Windham Hill label, Michael's profile and influence as a solo
bassist have gone from strength to strength, first through years of touring alongside
acoustic guitar legend Michael Hedges and then through solo performances and
collaborations with artists as diverse as Patti Larkin, Henry Kaiser, John Gorka and
Thomas Dolby. Michael is without doubt one of the most original, remarkable and
celebrated voices on the electric bass in the world today, and a performer not to be
missed.

This long awaited all-solo CD is Michael Manring's sixth under his own name. Although
all his previous recordings have contained solo work, this is the first release that
consists entirely of solo pieces without overdubs. Included here are thirteen new
compositions recorded live in the studio and a version of one of Michael's most often
requested tunes, "Selene," recorded live at a show in San Francisco. Soliloquy also
contains enhanced CD content - simply put it in your computer to view Michael's
extensive 24-page liner notes detailing the instruments, techniques, inspirations,
tunings, composing and recording processes used on the CD as well as photos and two
live performance videos.
