Synths and workstations

Shane Hendrickson tours by the light of his Radial Firefly
When you grow up in a small Canadian prairie town with a population of under a hundred people you might set a goal for yourself to expand your horizons. Bass guitarist Shane Hendrickson has long left Crane Valley, Saskatchewan and currently juggles a roster of shows touring with fellow Canadians Natalie MacMaster and Aaron Pritchett and now also Nick and Sophie Tweed-Simmons. Mighty impressive for the completely self taught Hendrickson. (The closest music lessons were an hour drive from his childhood home.) Life is now anything from predictable and can change with one phone call..and Hendrickson wouldn’t have it any other way.

Acousticsamples introduce Clavi D9 instrument – UVI Powered
The Clavi D9 is based on the well known clavinet D6 by hohner. It is probably one of the most “funky” instruments ever invented, despite the fact that it was originally intended for classical music as its sound is close to the hapsichord. It turns out that it was very well suited to replace or double a rhythmic guitar and was used in many Funk and Disco hits.
