Steve Rickwood Music
Here are just a few examples of my work - from the bass crazy to the groove orientated.
This is a multi-bass (12 in total) rendition of The Cantina Theme by John Williams. I had to transcribe this and then orchestrate amongst different basses, using differing tones and effects to give space. Daniel Shaw drums, under the instruction to "Make it sound like 'Reeves and Mortimer!'". He did.
I was at Indianapolis Airport and sampled the tannoy on my phone. The chords are played on a bass whilst droning a quaver pulse. Daniel Shaw drums. This piece is inspired by travel.

Every so often, my friends Simon Whiting and Lee Franklin organise a live video shoot of something they wish to perform. This is a version of Lucy by Rudder. I have tried to be faithful to Tim Lefebvre's lovely bass part.
The Canterbury Christchurch University staff band. This was September 2013. Amazingly, this wasn't the choice of the bassist!! I chose a song by Paul simon. A bit of fun to do some old slap stuff again though.
This was a performance for guitarist Dudley Ross. Circa 2010.
An acoustic session with my friend Jed Sharpe. Filmed by University students, this was one a of a few takes and they picked their favourite.
A Christmas gig with Jack Hues performing music from his Wang Chung era.
A video for 'Hey You' by The Latch, featuring Lee-Latchford Evans, Simon J Pinto, Steve Grisdale and myself.
A Webcast gig with the Latch. Odd playing to nobody, but knowing they are all watching from home.
