| you're a clever man, Kris. If I had time, I'd jump on it. But I'm committed for at least six months now.
Definitely if the riddim is there, and the butt moves, probably 80% of the house is built. If after that, to carry the analogy further, the roof is sturdy and the house is attractive, the people will move in.
Having a good crowd is a wonderful thing.
Good one.

For a few years now, I have had this concept of how to make avant-garde music more appealing to the common crowd. I realized that in many cases the key to getting people hooked initially is rhythm. I guess you can call this a conclusion of my practical research of playing several genres of music to average audiences for the last 20 years. Once you hook them with rhythm, then you can do just about anything you want over that and get away with it, within reason. So, what I'm thinking for the project is that I find someone to create a CD's length of tracks that include only percussion and bass lines. It could use samples, rhythm generators, looping, be as simple or complex as one likes, etc. All that is important is that the tracks are between 3 and 6 minutes, and that they groove hard...in other words, they can make people move on the dance floor. And what I mean by "move" is mock fucking, if you know what I mean. :) We've all seen them on the dance floor, right? The rhythm has got to make the pelvis move. So, maybe it is a mixture of acid jazz grooves, triphop, house, whatever the big thing is now. I'm totally behind. Then you share your tracks in wav file format (via my server), after which I record over the top of them with some really far out free jazz, free improv guitar stuff, textures, random stuff, soloing, etc. I expect to do mostly non-ambient playing that taps into my jazz background. I want to portray a serious representation of jazz influences creative music over popular rhythm. Any takers? If you are interested, send me at 30 second or so track of what you might consider representative of a larger set of tracks.
