This is just a bit of silly fun I had one day with a four-track cassette recorder...about 9 years ago (yup...another lost find fro the racks). Just blowin' off some steam on a day off in my little apartment of Tokyo. On first listen-back...it…

This track was made for collaborative purposes. Looking for a slow build of layers. If you hear anything that you would like to add...feel free to do so, and send it back to me...or post it and let me know that you did. TANKS!

Okay...so Godzilla comes to YOUR town and wants to get funky. What does it sound like?
When I first came to Japan, there was a time when I spent three months homeless and living out of a coin-locker at Shibuya station. Eventually, I got out of…

Drum-n-bass composition I did back in 2004 via digital-razor-blade technique with an additional fat synth line. That's it. Hear something you want to add? Go for it!

This tune was written on the day I bought my vintage Yamaha CP-25 electric piano and returned to hear that Dennis Hopper had passed away. I fired up the gear and cranked this out. The sound of the piano made me feel like Ray Manzarek...thus the…

This tune hopefully shows the culmination of my musical influences (namely, Mick Karn (R.I.P.), Adrian Sherwood, Bill Laswell, Jah Wobble...) while also painting a visual picture...as it was written and recorded in one day after I went free-diving…

This track is almost 14 years old, but is the result of me getting an hour or so alone in the KIIS FM studios thanks to my old college buddy Mike Madrigal who was doing production imaging for the station at the time. I did the drum loops (sampled…

I played with a vocal for this a couple of years ago - will see if I can finish it. Love this groove.

I just made a video putting this song to Charlie Chaplin's speech, "The Great Dictator" It turned out to my liking, so I think I'm changing the title of this tune to "Soldiers In The Name."
Drop D is producer/bass player Scott A. Meister. I got my start as an audio engineer in high-school, then got involved in pirate radio and radio production, eventually worked up to being an assistant engineer for Bob Ludwig at Masterdisk in New York City in the early 90’s…worked at record labels in promotion and marketing after that…eventually ended up as the regional marketing editor at Album Network Magazine in Los Angeles before moving to Tokyo to start an indies label. After all that…I got burned-out on the music scene, and moved out to Yamanakako, the largest of five lakes on the base of Mt. Fuji where I run a B&B with my wife called The Potato House. Now, I’ve been building a small work studio of digital and analog stuff so I can enjoy making music for myself and my friends.
from Honolulu, HI, United States
