Tony Dryer performs in the US and abroad as an improvising double bassist. In collaborative projects his sparse but solid sound world creates foundations for building, often drifting into the background with subtle textures. Tony as a solo performer uses similar techniques and sounds with more fragmented results. Website: http://www.myspace.com/tonydryerbass
