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 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…
A little more up-tempo than my usual stuff, this is the first track I recorded with my melodica. Those things are TONS of fun. Had lots of fun making the drum track too. Really simple...drums, fretless bass (two tracks) and melodica...that's it.

just listened - WOW...so laid back & smoooth - that says so much about you guys and it makes the chaos of the earthquakes that much more tragic - peace & blessings dude.
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.
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…

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

Magnifique!
Sweet stuff Drop D, You got major groove :)
I love this song, it all gells together, i especially like the ambient sounds. thank you for your nice comment also..
Great sound...very tasty bass playing. hypnotic.
cool groove, cool beat.
The mix of reggae and alter-space vibe is really cool, really liking your music.
Yes this has that mellow Reggae chill, that slow low bass is sick! Kick ass track Sir!
..nice things;thanks for listening!
nicely done,, sounds like you had some fun making this
...into the ground, towards the roots. Closer by the roots of dub ancestors. Africa...
~Tired dub riders, weighed down by the burden of the past~
Thanks for listening madhouse! It's good to know that it was good and smashed too. The question was nagging me.

Augustus Meister strikes again!

huge space...fat sounds...heavy, dark groove...broooooooding mix!
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!
