ABOUT PIERRE

Bass Producer

“Pierre Lewin is a groove scientist with five decades of fretless bass under his fingers and a mental library that stretches from Steely Dan to drum and bass, which means when he sits down with your project, he’s not thinking about what’s trendy… He’s thinking about what makes your track physically impossible to stand still to.
Pierre doesn’t separate music from life. “I live from the project I’m involved with. Without a good project, I feel depressed.”
He is the person who stays in the studio after everyone else has gone, who switches off the lights, who treats every collaboration like it’s the most important thing happening to him right now.
His philosophy is direct: understand the client’s vision completely, then bring only what’s lacking. No more.”

Carl Bahner

Roy Scoutz guitarist & song writer

"I've played Pierre's music in live gigs and we recorded it too. He knows what he is doing. That was a great experience, and the band had a lot of fun too. I miss his bass sound and his energy. It's very contagious!"

Joao Cleber pianist & producer

Listen to the music... feel the bass!

The very common problem is that one think a bass line is just the fundamentals of the chords. Forgetting about the importance of the rhythm, the accents, and the link with the drums.
