PRESS RELEASE AND BIO

OUTSTANDING BASSIST/ MULTI INSTRUMENTALIST 

CHANCE WILDER ONODY

RELEASES 3rd SINGLE, "THE MUSIC THAT WAS US"!

Chance Wilder Onody performs 100 instrumental parts in his Original Composition "The Music That Was Us"! Majority of parts performed on his many different Basses

Doane Perry, (Jethro Tull, Hall of Fame, Grammy Winner, Laughing Gull Studio) joins Onody on Drums and Percussion.

This is Chance Wilder Onody's first original compositional release from his growing catalogue of original works.

Every intricate element in this sweeping lyrical recording has its place in telling the story through multiple instruments and layers of melodies and counter melodies.  Onody combines multiple elements of the musical genres he loves in his composition, weaving classical, Rock , Folk, Pop and Jazz together.

"The Music That Was Us' is a follow-up to Chance Wilder Onody's "innovative, no boundaries style" that showcases the Bass as a lead instrument and shows it can perform any part of an orchestration at pitch.  Onody modified his instruments with special strings and tunings to achieve his vision.

It all started with Chance Wilder Onody's first single "Feeling Good" in which he performs 19 (nineteen) big band parts all on bass. The "Feeling Good" teaser video with multiple images of Onody performing 16 basses has over 1,176,333 views. 

This includes Facebook (706K); YouTube (393K); Instagram (67K) and continues to grow across independent sites (10K).

In his second single "Crimson Wings", Chance Wilder Onody performed all 64 (sixty four) parts of the Rock Symphony on Bass. Doctor O. Kitajima called the recording a Masterpiece starting with Onody's brilliant arrangement.  Onody had the great privilege of working with Doane Perry, Laughing Gull Studio, on this massive project,

two musicians sounding like an entire orchestra and rock band.

Chance Wilder Onody is often referred to as a virtuoso, a prodigy, and a master musician, in the press and by his peers.  Onody has a very distinctive sound and is known for his moving melodies, emotional improvisations, lush orchestrations and masterful arrangements.
