I've found myself doing a bit more bass teaching lately, and it's become one of my favourite things. So I'm making it a Proper Thing. I've set up Leith Bass Space to offer one to one bass tuition at @lostosc Studios. I'm really excited about the progress of the bassists I've been working with. It's been a joy to use the studio this way, to learn more about how people learn, and to reflect on my own journey as a player. I'd love to work with a few more bassists. If you (or someone you know) want to get started on bass or take your playing further, drop me a DM or book an introductory session at leithbass.space 📸: @smcg__ Jack and a student sit facing each other in a studio with orange acoustic panels, each playing an instrument, the student on a cream bass.

An old friend (& constant inspiration) blessed me with some gems today: 💎 all that is not forbidden is permitted. 💎 if you can’t enjoy playing “simple” pentatonic stuff over “easy” changes (& feel the need to hunt for “out/ spicy” notes) something might have gone wrong… 💎 equally, when the harmony is open, there might be ALOT of options for the soloist to bring (see e.g. Lingus). 💎 the real study is ✨ internalising music ✨ and so making improvisation (more) automatic. What notes make that mode that mode? How do they feel? Why? by @jackaud.io

Band: “Jack, take a solo. 👍” Jack: “Nut. Naebdy wants to hear that. 🥜 (Etc)” Band: “DAE IT. Why are you always like this? 😮‍💨 (Etc)” Jack: [plays this] You be the judge… On the day of recording, unplanned and unannounced Jack switched from his usual @mcintyreguitars bass (6 strings, frets, jazz bass) & grabbed the 1982 ibanez (4 strings, nae frets, P-bass). Different bass, different solo, different song. So this is the first @slow_karma_ release with a bass solo, and also the first with a fretless bass. by @jackaud.io

⚖️ so: I’ve been working full time in music for a wee while now and wanted to re-introduce myself… Through my 20s, I toured in bands and worked in recording studios while “balancing” this with law school and then a career as a big, swinging accountant. In 2024, I decided to take the plunge and follow The Dream. For years, I’d dreamt of using our beautiful studio @lostoscillation & the skills I’d gained as a musician and producer to help more people create the music they want to create. Since then I’ve been a busy working bassist/ producer/ teacher/ songwriting partner/ music-base-hanger-about-er. I’ve already been blessed to work with some amazing artists on some great recordings and am really excited about what the future holds. I love everything about helping artists discover their sound, turning rough demos into polished tracks, and helping to support releases. So, if you need a studio operator, producer, bass player or teacher, slide into those DMs. 📸: @smcg__ taken in Lost Oscillation by @jackaud.io

🔂 “Price Check” doesn’t sound quite like anything else… The instrumental is a live 10-piece jazz band, playing a composition inspired by a beat made 10-years earlier on a second hand MPC. The band saw @jurnalistmte on instagram rapping “4AM In Edinburgh” shortly after he had moved to Scotland. They were blown away by the lyricism and immediately know that Jurn would be amazing on this beat. The results were beyond even wildest imaginings… It has been a labour of love, literally *years* in the making and we are delighted to share it with you. X by @jackaud.io

PRICE CHECK is OUT NOW!!! The new single from Slow Karma is their biggest yet, and is the first to feature vocals, being blessed by bars from Jurnalist. The instrumental was more than 10 years in gestation at Lost Oscillation before being picked up by the band, who then tightened it late on Sunday nights at the jazz bar to get it ready to be tracked live with extended family coming through to lay in horns and percussion. When Jack saw a vid of Jurn rapping “4AM in Edinburgh” on Insta he knew this was the only voice for the beat and hit Jurn’s DMs. Jurn came to the studio and The rest, as they will say, is history… VOCALS: @jurnalistmte Guitar: @cjstevensonmusic Drums: @_kylegrieve_ Keys: @dave_oscillation Bass: @jackaud.io Percussion: @jackmckayfletcher & FEATURING: Trumpet: @wilson_imsorry Saxophone: @kclou_25 Percussion: @nemoganguli & @_daniel_parry_ Production: @lostoscillation by @jackaud.io

🇪🇸 “Asturias” by Isaac Albinez has been one of my favourite pieces since I first heard my guitar teacher play it in high school… 💛 It was my great good fortune to spend the first few weeks of 2025 in Southern Spain, resetting, reconnecting, and falling in love all over again with the nylon-strung guitar. 🌳 L & I stayed in a wee cabin near Malaga for a few days and I decided that was the perfect opportunity to make a start on learning this spellbinding piece… (it still has so much to teach me…!) ❤️ I am back in Edinburgh now, in many ways a new man, in a new life. I am grateful for every minute I get to spend playing. taken in Sierra de las Nieves by @jackaud.io
