Re: New CD Project - Looking for a Partner



yeah, that's the stuff.  A DJ/Synth/Mix guy once asked me to sit in with him at a club, and this is exactly what I did. His group was called Orgasmotron, or something like that.  He did his thing, and I played free jazz phrases, chords, and passages over what he did, as complimentary as I could. It seemed to work.  I think the grooves plus the tension release that I was buidling really fucked with peoples' heads, which is what I like to do.

 Once you hook them with rhythm, then you can do just about anything you want over that and get away with it, within reason.

This is exactly what my whole band concept was in the late 80愀, we had a really dance oriented rythym, with really weird shit on top. I got the idea from a quote from Eno, regarding his and Byrnes album "My Life in the bush of ghosts..."

So, maybe it is a mixture of acid jazz grooves, triphop, house, whatever the big thing is now. I'm totally behind.

Over here the current big thing is Dubstep... (sounds like danceable Triphop to my ears...)

Nice Idea Kris, wish I had the  time...
