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.

I was a fan of easy listenings like Enoch Light, still love these sounds and light pleasure that they bring. Here so.
P.S. Night birds recorded in Berlin this April, silly whistling/theme is mine…
This beat was made while teaching my Sound I summer class about making sample-based beats in Reason software. It is named after the new Circulator energy-efficient free bus in Baltimore. My main non-drum samples here are from my piece "Granite…

Thanks for this. I live here on Mt. Fuji and lived through the quake...you've captured the feeling of the experience well...the awe...the helplessness...the trepidation...
A second version with the initial lead guitar standing alone...a little cluttered after a few listens and some constructive feedback!
Norm's Groove for St Monica inspired this one. Thanks Norm!

...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~

Yet another fun tune, man! Diggin' the low rhythmic running vibe.
Wooooooooooooo! Me likey! Nice flow...sounds...pace...production.
Yup...I gotta like this one. Great lyrics too.
down and dirty blues rockin'.
Really liking this one. Well put together, yet out there...controlled chaos with a groovy shuffle.
enjoying the scenery of this nice leisurely stroll.
Am I hearing a bit of Bill Laswell influence here?
Heavy head bobbin' beat! Coulda been a bit longer, eh?

This is the kind of tune I can get wrapped up and lost in for a VERY long time.
Thanks for this. I live here on Mt. Fuji and lived through the quake...you've captured the feeling of the experience well...the awe...the helplessness...the trepidation...
Great spacial depth and texture...wide open sounds with a method to their madness. Nice stuff!
Excellent beat-weaving goin' on here. Me likey.
chillin' rhythmic bliss. Diggin' it.
Like the feel of this one. I'm down with it.
Cruisin' to the coolness...across the border.
Okay...this is my third listen, and the dynamic phrase at about 3:18 still squeezes my heart to produce goose-bumps. nice.
I agree with Kirk...this is absolutely gorgeous. Amazing. I think I'm going to put this into rotation here at our B&B. Thanks for sharing.
like the hard panned percussion groove loop...gives it a heavy-swing, fly-wheel effect.
short, sweet...soothing.
