THE WAY I HEAR IT
-
Brian Asher - Cellos, Bass
-
Keith McKaw - RIP Guitars
On the CD titled, THE WAY I HEAR IT, Brian has arranged and produced seven original songs in which he plays both acoustic and electric cello, and fretless electric bass. The first 5 cuts are completely acoustic but the final two are intentionally electrified for contrast..... Brian began playing music at age three and soon became a bit of a child prodigy on his quarter scale cello. His father was San Pedro High's music teacher, his mother is a professional piano teacher and his sister, a very fine violinist....
When Brian reached the age of 15 he learned the bass guitar and began playing in Rock bands around town. During the seventies he played bass for SWAN.... An experimental hard rock unit featuring Bob James (The Sentry's, Montrose) as lead singer. This group evolved into SHATTERMINX, with San Pedro guitarist Mike Zulianni, which led back to a reincarnation of SWAN.
During the last few years Brian has been very busy. He's composed the sound track for a short docudrama, produced the music for the American Medical Association's annual Film Festival and Awards Ceremony, composed, recorded and performed a ballet (on cello) and several commercial soundtracks, arranged and produced three CD's for other clients and has also been work on his third solo CD.
Last year Brian had been performing and recording with Joe Puerta's "Sunken City". this hand picked group of seven musical monsters is currently in the process of making a major impact with their new and very high quality original compositions.
