The Music of Chase and Status

ChaseAndStatus.co.uk says, “Chase & Status have been hailed as ‘The most exciting producers in the UK today’ by Pharrell Williams of N*E*R*D fame, and the excitement around the pair doesn’t stop there. They have remixed tracks by some of the world’s hottest artists including Jay Z’s ‘Death Of Auto-Tune’, The Prodigy’s ‘Invaders Must Die’ and White Lies ‘Death’.”

Believe it or not, my 13 year old son turned me on to this and I haven’t looked back since.

Celebrating Spring with Claudio Montuori

So I ran across this little gem the other day on another website and for life of me I cannot understand why I enjoy this so much. Of course, it was the first day of spring and this song just seemed to fit the day well.

I don’t know much about Mr. Montuori but the gentleman is very talented. I can only hope one day to slip some money into his hat in person.

Enjoy!

Yellow Cake Animation by Nick Cross

Started in 2006 Nick Cross has finally released his much anticipated animation Yellow Cake. The animation is that of the glory days of cartoons. The vivid colors but more importantly the music instead of words gives this animation a wonderful appeal. No words are needed to understand what Nick is trying to tell here.

A truly wonderful animation from a very gifted artist.

The Music of Matt and Kim

So one day here I am sitting on the couch watching the tube and all of a sudden here comes this great sounding tune from a commerical. After about 20 minutes searching I finally found out the name of the band and song and to my enjoyment their music.

Matt and Kim are like nothing you have heard before but their music is almost like watching a painting appear before you eyes. Hard to pin down a genre on this one but you know what, I don’t need to.

The Music of The Dodos

Visiter by San Francisco band The Dodos is their second full length and first for Frenchkiss. Originally formed in 2006 under the moniker Dodobird as a one man acoustic act, Meric Long would gig around SF playing folky guitar w/ a combination of loops and ambient keyboards. Having already studied West African Ewe drumming, Meric got turned onto country blues fingerpicking and sought to create a band where the drumming could be a center role and help bring out the syncopated rhythms coming out of the acoustic guitar.
