Inspired by the french movie titled "The Element Of Crime." This is basically a night in the studio for some musical therapy via studio jam with myself.

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…
When I'm in the zone, I dub-out...but sometimes I just gotta blow the cobwebs out by gettin' silly on the drum machine and rippin' on the fret-less. This was one of the latter. It was heavily inspired by the book "Rolling Thunder Speaks"...specifically…
This is what happens when I come back to a track that started being put together in a commercial radio station production studio back in about '92/'93 (post liquid-lunch "creative" time). The rhythm loops were layered then the crunch guitar (courtesy…

This solo studio dub jam was created and recorded in about 8 hours of play time one day. As usual, it starts with a simple drum machine track, then fretless bass, then keys, guitar, then a Balinese kecak drum and a tbilat drum and finally melodica…
Drop-D is the dub project of producer/bass player Scott A. Meister living on Mt. Fuji where he also runs a Bed & Breakfast with his wife on Lake Yamanaka (a.k.a. Yamanakako). C-4 is a studio jam.
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…

First track I produced on my DAW...just tryin' to get the feel of thing at the time (no manual...well...a manual, but it's in Japanese...so same thing). Anyway, it's pretty simple...programmed a drum track, threw down a fretless dub line...threw…

Having done 5 versions of 'I Reached Out To Jesus..." on the RAWHEAD & BLOODYBONES album I rather thought the subject had been well and truely milked dry. I was proved wrong by SKITZOFARI PROJECT, who did this wonderful remix - the version…

Sweet track! Would like to hear one just like this but without distortion on the kick. Totally diggin' the chimey keyboards on the solid groove...good cruisin' down the highway tune.
I could listen to you guys all night...wait...I'm already doing that. Like where the bass goes at about 3:09...coulda kept that bit going a bit longer and I wouldn't have minded at all.

Check out this new song written by my friend William Gittens featuring different Berklee artists, It's dedicated to the state of our world and the destruction in Japan.
Take a minute to watch and send your thoughts to the troubles of this planet…
You have some BEAUTIFUL melody lines! Would love to hear a studio production of this...especially if you can contain the same energy level that you can feel on this recording (that's the trick, eh?).
With a new series of DR Who I thought I would have a go at the theme tune. no samples in this all my own work except for the vocal.
would love feedback. I am pleased with it

Thanks, guest! Space Echo's rock! It's my new toy...still having fun playing around with it. Fun for daaaaaays!

You cats definitely have my attention...y'know how to make a spaceous jam.
Yet another nice jam! Nice guitar sounds hovering over the groove.
Nice jam! Reminds me Vini Reilly's stuff in the Factory Records Durutti Column days. Stuff to chill and get lost to.
my latest up-load...but one of my first productions...I personally recommend headphones.
I can curl up with this one for a long time. Guten-nacht muzik.
Very fascinating song...somewhat painful EQ and production...but aMAZingly heavenly vocal lines and chords...creating a nice atmospheric head-space.
Thanks, beetle! glad you dig it...just wondering...what movie where you watching?
Nice one. Great lyrics too.
Wow...great lyrics...and such an amazingly original take on melodies and harmonies. You have a new fan in me.

VERY different, but VERY beautiful. Fascinating tune.
Dark...moody...atmospheric and picturesque. Layers...depth. I'm liking this.
Trippy, chill and spaced out...just I like it. Nice.
Nice work! Diggin' the deep, dark, dub-step vibe. Fat sounds.
You've really got the "chilled-out-cruise-through-the-celestial-ether" vibe down, man. Launch me out there!
