ToxicEar aka Ricky Humphrey
 | IntroductionWelcome! This project is a solo effort by Ricky Humphrey. The songs in this project are created using minimal instrumentation. Bass guitar, some basic effects, a rhythm unit and an app on the Iphone to create the synth sounds and that's it... Oh not forgetting a little imagination! Inspiration Ricky takes inspiration from the late and great Mick Karn who totally changed the way he heard bass being played and opened his mind to experimentation and breaking away from traditional styles. Gary Numan too played a big part in my musical education with his mammoth textures and soundscapes. I was fortunate enough to have shared some time with Nick Beggs who guided me and tutored me in the ways of funk! |
