Well, since I am getting so many responses, yes, I
think I might do this. Ted sent me some files, which are really cool. This
would be sort of like the project I did a few years ago, called Xperimentus,
with several guys on this list: Mark, Fabio, Rainer, and several others.
Maybe I can get it down to three people who contribute the rhythm tracks,
perhaps 4-5 tracks each.

Hi Kris
sounds interesting. Would you consider using rhythmic tracks/beats
from various different musicians? I would love to take part but alas time to
devote to a full album of tracks might be difficult a this time. If yuo fancy
hearing some of my stuff: www.myspace.com/maxstarcke

Hello
all,
I have a CD concept I want to do. 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.
Kris
