His website states:  'Mich Gerber went through classical training', I'm afraid I cannot discover any technical, musical or other skills, I feel very sorry for the poor cello/bass ...

Discovered him thanks to RP and have found it frustrating how hard it is to find his albums - some are completely unavailable

I enjoy hearing his music, definitely innovative! on slightly different note, I was gifted the opportunity to see Les Claypool Fearless Flying Frog Brigade at a small venue in Houston this past July. I remember having mixed feelings about going as I knew nothing about FFFB, Les...sure. Not much into the show I was jumping up and down feeling the music. This dude asked, "Do you know who that is playing guitar?" No, he had a devilish grin and said "That's Sean Lennon!"  They played about a 50 min. version of Pigs by Pink Floyd. Wow! Les pulled out his double base and Whamola and totally rocked the house. The show blew me away. If I had the chance to see Mich Gerber, I would go!

I was surprised to see him listed as a bassist, as I also thought it was a cello, not a bass. Perhaps it's just the very upper register of a bass we're hearing? Or multiple instruments... An accomplished string player could easily adapt between cello and bass playing. I suppose I'd have to see more detailed information on this recording to know what's going on.

His wiki page https://goo.gl/rsgRws describes him as a multiinstramentalist composer and one of the first to use looping delays on stage.    His first album was released in 1997.

In contrast, Ed Allayne Johnsons famous first album "Electric Purple Violin Concerto was released 1992.

Rick Wright was looping delays on Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast in 1968 and no doubt in the live performances.

No kidding - after hearing Gerber here on RP I searched fruitlessly for his music in all the usual places, and finally had my daughter send me a CD from Prague. It was worth it.

He's easier to find nowadays, but it's like trying to find certain English authors here in the US. I don't know whether to blame the tangle of copyright laws or what.

Actually I have not read any of his books nor seen the films. I'm a bit contrary when it comes to hype but I guess I'll come to them in due time. Uppsala is quite beautiful and sized just just enough to get all you need without the big city stress. The town is dominated by the universities with about 40-50k students in total. You should visit in late spring or early summer to get the best out of the town.

Man, what a slow afternoon. It's 105° outside and my truck has no AC. I come back to the apartment and my AC is out and it's a pleasant 95° inside. And this set of songs is playing:

Mich Gerber - Eros
Vienna Teng - Gravity
Los Lobos - Kiko and the Lavender Moon

I must have done somebody wrong. I apologize to anyone I offended today. I know something with a little more life will happen soon if I can just wait this out.

A few short hours ago I was told my father died today. I sat with him yesterday telling jokes, enjoying the tea and the warm evening.
I took a great picture of him. After a portion of shock has passed i decided the only thing to really sooth me at all would be one of special common threads-the love of music. Hearing this song with passion, I instantly began to dance and cry. This song was healing. My son came and joined me-I want to dance for grandpa too. Thank you radio paradise.Miggwitch

Ah, the music of the Subcontinent: love it, hate it, you just got to love it. Fortunately, I really do love it but can understand how to some folks' musical sensibilities it is the sonic equivalent of a poke in the ear.

Eros
In Hesiod's Theogony, the most famous Greek creation myth, Eros sprang forth from the primordial Chaos together with Gaea, the Earth, and Tartarus, the underworld; according to Aristophanes' play The Birds (c. 414 BC), he burgeons forth from an egg laid by Nyx (Night) conceived with Erebus (Darkness).
