welcome friends!

For over 30 years Lee Howard has been playing, writing and recording music; providing the backbone to bands since 1976 as a bassist. . . evolving into the Producer, Composer, Sound Designer-Digital Media Artist he is today. Steadily building a monolithic body of work ; creating a diverse brew of handmade music that like blood courses through the SpanishGuitar-Brazilian-Cuban Classics of Trio Solea; Deep-Spirit Groove Electronic Spaces of TROPOZONE; the Euro—ambient rock of Sacred Human Energy; the late 90's mind bending Spirit music of TonePharaoh and UUm; the transcendent Ambient Tribal Rock of the Groove Merchants, WISH and Critical Town; the 2 albums of the electro-quirky sonics of EarthAlien, to the present: the experimental Rocktronica of WISH , the Deep Yogatrancendentgroove environments of CobaltSun Sessions, Tropozone , and Lee's latest release (9.09) : "Lee Howard- Prayers for the Living" a digital only release on CyberiaRecords available exclusively at itunes, emusic and rhapsody.com...

Also : Look for me in Cascada- a Nouveau Flamenco Working Band, here in Bay area and across the planet...

Working on three new albums as of today- Winter 2010

deep in production- immersive groove jams and improvised investigations.

We continue-
I am interested in reflecting nature and well being in my/our work. Grace, calm, quietude...
even in the most rockin' interpretations, there is always a peaceful center. Gravitating towards deeply intriguing, healthy, profound people, my work is always growing, including, morphing, re- integrating. Love is not a Thermodynamic Law- we seek and give love in all that we do- developing musical-communal memes against a increasingly uncertain world
we create in pods of gratitude...we are planets and moons in each other's galaxies-
I exist in the ether of the musical spheres...
asking musical questions:

what does a sunset sound like

can we imitate the wind in our sounds...

can grace be a soundpoem?

continuing to work with collaborators:
David Correa, Ian Franklin, karl gonsalves
dwight loop, rayregan,chriscapriotti,arnold bodmer,
justin parker, ken and teressa, scott railsback,
tim bolling, grant warrens,
