OUTRI is a solo bass endeavour by established North-East bass player and ‘musical magpie’ (NARC mag) Ian ‘dodge’ Paterson. This project takes inspiration from a love of jazz, folk, electronica, found-sound and cinematic landscapes alongside an aesthetic focus on single live recorded takes, come what may. The music combines organic shifting loops underpinned with beautiful harmonies and glitchy electronica. Having performed and recorded for the last twenty years as a side person with various bands and artists (YVA / Beccy Owen / Sharks Took The Rest / Nick Pride and the Pimptones / Slowlight Quartet / HAV / The Rubber Wellies / Matt Stalker and Fables / Giles Strong Quartet / Not Now Charlie) in a whole range of genres from jazz to folk to pop this project is an opportunity to try and bring some of those disparate strands together.
