Recording Career
As bassist for The Park, A Million Billion Dying Suns, and many more projects, Lippi began the process after spending eight months on the road with several acts, self-recording all the instruments in "The Torta Oven", where The Park and A Million Billion Dying Suns have recorded much of their material. Two solo tracks from Lippi ("Sirens" and "Tear Me Down") were both fuzzy and appropriately bass heavy rock and roll.
