Hansford
began his career in the clubs of New York City.
With
French drummer Pierre Moerlen,
he reformed the award winning jazz-rock group Gong and
was promptly signed to Virgin Records and later to Arista Records.
His innovative compositions contributed greatly to Gong's
success. International touring soon secured him a place among
the world's leading bass players as well as work with Mike
Oldfield, Allan Holdsworth,
Bireli Lagrene and La Monte Young.
He
plays Warwick bass guitars and amplifiers and has worked
closely with them on the development of the first Just Intonation
bass.
He
is a founding member of the monster group Gongzilla
featuring guitar meisters Bon Lozaga, David
Torn and David
Fiuczynski. Hansford's
latest project is HR3.
