Extremely Noisy, Extremely Dusty.... :-) Limited Edition Cassette....My Take on Dub Reggae and its Dusty Dusty Sonic Roots....
Cassette + Digital AlbumThese tapes are 20 minutes on side A, SIDE B REPEATS SIDE A....I had a blast making this tape this past February...There are no samples on it. All instruments were played by me. I made the tracks in Ableton Live. Once done with the track i had a special rack i made and controlled via Push2 and while it played, i recorded the effects live to my Viktor KD-05 tape deck. I hope you enjoy this. Its extremely dirty and noisy. I wanted the feel of a terrible 45 you picked up and just couldn't stop playing.... #Pushin

When I started playing bass guitar about 16 years ago, I was cutting my teeth on classic rock and blues records. The first time I heard Bob Marley I loved it right off the bat. Concrete Jungle is my fav tune (who says a jazz bass cant hold it down) and his "Babylon by Bus" live album is still up there with the Allman Brothers for me. When I moved to Okinawa in 2002 I met a guitar player from Cali (Joel Byrum) that played something that blew my mind. It came in the form of Lee Scratch Perry, followed by King Tubby. (I dropped my whole Air Force pay check at Tower Records that payday on Dub Reggae). I will stop short of writing a book, but I want to say, I wish I could hear more of people's influences in their music, the inspiration they pull from the many genres into their own sound. This album was me, a Fender P bass, Gibson SG, Gibson Les Paul Menace, a MicroKorg, and my voice through an sm57. I made the tracks all in Ableton. Then mixed live with Aurex' Ableton mix racks i modified into a Victor KD-05 cassette deck into a cheap 20 minute tape. Lots of mistakes and imperfections but this was so much fun to do. This was what intrigued me about dub was the live mixing aspect of it. I learned so much about Ableton along the way and saved many of the effects racks I made, and tweaked and some drum kits. I hit some reggae in this, some downtempo, and some ambient/electronic elements. Weird but I just let the music flow instead of saying only dub. Can't wait to fail out loud again. Love the Process.....I truly do....as always... #Pushin #Relentless in everything #ididntComeHereToHireOnAsAHand

I am just a dude from Central Texas. I am trying to make a blend of Maynard James Keenan, The Allman Brothers, Portishead, Curtis Mayfield, The Alchemist, Gov't Mule, Jack White & Delta Blues. With some sound design/exploration thrown in. I play bass and guitar. I hope you enjoy the sounds. ... more

Pushing the boundaries of what can be accomplished thru sampling. Some of the most creative uses of samples since Paul's Boutique but with knock and soul. Brilliant.
