The five pieces making up The Elongated Path, bear the sometimes overt and sometimes covert influences of the three seasons of winter, spring and summer. The pieces were constructed of composed and improvised double bass performances from January and June, 2017, to which were added electric guitar and electronics as well as field recordings taken at the Rice River Center in March, 2016 and July, 2017.
Steve Ashby: field recordings, guitar, electronics, ambience.
Daniel Barbiero: double bass.
Field recordings taken March 2016 and July 2017 at Rice River Center, along the James River in Virginia, USA. Double bass tracks recorded January and June 2017 in Silver Spring MD. Assembled in Richmond, VA.

Steve Ashby is a Richmond, VA based musician, composer, and sound artist who received his Master’s degree in music from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2005. Building on his background as a classical guitarist, Ashby creates textures around sounds found in the natural and digital worlds, discovering the places where they intersect, and amplifying their common attributes. Ashby’s work is a combination of field recordings, manipulated sound, and composed elements. With a growing interest in sound ecology, Ashby looks for rhythms, melodies, and textures found in his surroundings to inform the direction of his work. Over the past several years, he has turned his creative output towards composing in the ambient/drone/sound art vein. His releases to date include Winter Birds (2016), and Crackles and Codes (2015), among other singles and experiments. In addition, he is on the music faculty at VCU.
