These are a series of collaborations I've done with the wonderful singer/guitarist/songwriter AlyKat.  These tracks are a lot of fun to do with AlyKat and come out quite well.

As of December 2015, we have done enough to make up a CD, so this is now an "album" called Echoes of the Past and we now call our collaboration Creature Comforts.

Echoes of the Past - Creature Comforts

Get to know: @chloexmartini  // @khadisma | #staymellow

Meet Chloe Martini, super young female music producer based out of Warsaw. Chloe's sound definitely caught our attention about a year ago, with a style that displayed her classical background with a touch of electronic music. We immediately reached out and asked her to work with us on some capacity. At the time she humbly declined, stating that she simply wasn't ready to put together anything official. Since then, she has crafted her production skills, released smashing remixes and collaborated on tracks with other great producers/artists.

Hailing from Portland, Oregon, the young turks of Rare Monk have a sonic resilience that’s like everything and nothing you've ever heard. While the obvious signposts are there to guide you (Modest Mouse, Sonic Youth, Phoenix), Rare Monk combine their love of both 90s and contemporary Indie Rock with a fevered Pop intensity, before shooting the whole thing into outer space to see what comes back. As frontman Dorian Aites puts it, “Although we draw upon many genres for inspiration, we’ve been creating our own thing based on nothing other than the idea that, ‘these are the songs we wrote cause they sound cool’”. 

The psychedelic insanity can be traced back to their college roots, when the guys were the go-to band for drunkin‘ dorm rooms and sonic exploration. In 2012 Rare Monk teamed up with noted producer Skyler Norwood (Blind Pilot, Horsefeathers, Talkdemonic) for their self-released EP, ‘Death By Proxy’. The giddy pop thrill of the title track and the funky, slow burn of “Underground” act as the band's mission statement, and according to Dorian, “Is pretty genuine. I think the important thing here is not to try and fit a compartmentalized soundscape, or to try and be different from everyone else; the importance lies in doing what you are passionate about. Passion is genuine.” 

In 2014 Rare Monk release a limited edition 7” AA-side single with new songs “Splice” and “Sleep/Attack” via B3SCI Records. The release was recorded and produced late Summer 2013 in Los Angeles at Wax LTD Studios by Wally Gagel (Best Coast, Muse, Family Of The Year, Folk Implosion). The songs showcase the next frontier for a band who venture toward a lauded career, capturing the sheer energy of an incredible live show, bridging a sound for the masses and that of music appreciation.

Wild Night (AlyKat and BallisticSquid Collab)

This is a great funky tune.  AlyKat on vocals and rhythm guitar.  BallisticSquid on lead guitar.  What a fun song!

Shaky Ground (AlyKat And BallisticSquid Collab)

This cover was done using the drum, percussion, and bass tracks from the original multitracks.  AlyKat performed vocals and acoustic guitar.  BallisticSquid performed two rhythm guitar tracks and the guitar solo.

Long Train Running (AlyKat and BallisticSquid)

This is a collaboration between Keith (bass), AlyKat (vocals and rhythm guitar), and BallisticSquid (keyboard riff done on guitar, mixing). This was a special song to cover because I heard it, loved it, didn't know who it was by, rediscovered it, forgot who it was by again, and rediscovered it again. Now that I've learned how to play it, I doubt I'll forget it again.

Special thanks to my collaborators who made this track great!

Bill Withers-Ain't No Sunshine

Music nut that's been playing guitar for over 30 years.  Currently I play guitar in a cover band called Clean Slate.  In the past I've played in other cover bands, a duo, and with our church choir.  I also enjoy participating in online jams and collaborations hosted at GuitarForums.
