He uses live looping and effects to create beautiful layered music - sound upon sound; sometimes with multiple instruments but mostly only using a bass guitar. His music has been described as, “subtle layers of sound that emerge gracefully like cinematic soundtracks”.
"On his 2009 full-length "Blue", Russ Sargeant found solace in the most stripped-down constellation imaginable: One man and his i...

This is stunning stuff Russ. 'Hope' has the type of power found rarely. The power to effect a human being physically and change them emotionally. Thanks for that.

"To say Sargeant creates soundscapes would be to gloss over one of his greatest strengths, as a melodist, but his recordings largely consist of spatial, layered pads, and melodies played on electric or upright bass. Sometimes the pads sound very like synthesizers (as on Dream The Brightest Dawn), but with some effects and an Ebow, anything is possible: what’s certain is that these tracks are performed as they sound here, using live looping technology. If you see Sargeant live he will realise these compositions for you with one or more basses and some gizmos."

Hey folks, All seems quiet at the moment, but rest assured I'm working behind the scenes on some new material - both solo and multi-instrumental. I'm hoping to have some new music out before Christmas.
I'm also looking to play many more live dates and I'm currently networking and searching for venues which I think would be suitable. If you know of...
