reverb andlooping (music loop ) effects. He makes his mark on OneRepublic's debut album "Dreaming Out Loud" on the track "All Fall Down", which is based on a musical hook done in cello that is repeated throughout the whole track.In addition to playing the cello and the bass guitar, Kutzle, along with
Zach Filkins , also aids frontman,Ryan Tedder in songwriting and composing music for the band.
