Ave Africa: The Complete Recordings

Sunburst - "Simba Anguruma" [From Ave Africa: The Complete Recordings]

This album is available at http://bubbles.bandcamp.com/track/split-infinitive-full-album-mix-2

    The music on Split Infinitive is dark and sparse with thick bass and psychedelically mutated vocal samples. A musical reflection of the sentiment of our day and age. A tone poem.

    Split Infinitive pushes the boundaries of electronic music genres by melding dubstep, ambient, minimal, and drum n' bass elements with curious musical references to Pink Floyd, Kruder and Dorfmeister, Aphex Twin, Led Zeppelin, Plastikman, Prophetnoise, and many others.

Split Infinitive - Full Album Mix

Nigerian Royal Scam is a vintage, up tempo afrobeat instrumental in the style of Fela Kuti's Africa 70 band. I reworked the drums and added horns in honor of Tony Allen, Fela's pioneering drummer on the anniversary of his death. Attempting to emulate his slinky, flowing groove and trademark tumbling-down-the-stairs drum fills felt like time well spent in his presence. Cheers to the rhythmic architect of afrobeat, thanks for the inspiration.

Arrangement features a heavy horn section, deep layers of hand percussion, funky interlocking guitars, vintage psychedelic keys

"Commotion" - Dust Motif

A bluegrass arrangement of Richard Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" to accompany a game involving a flying pig!  I'm kind of crazy about this track. I think I followed the Valkyries harmonic structure through most of the track.  I had to use 9 harmonicas to get through all the chord changes.

Arranged, performed and produced by Stan LePard.  Fiddle by Paul Elliott.

A Tony Allen Tribute by François K

Cal Reichenbach produces eclectic music for film, TV, and video games. An accomplished guitarist and composer, Cal specializes in emotionally dynamic, rhythmically compelling scores that enhance visual action and propel narrative flow. His work spans a broad range of genres including rock, funk, jazz, afrobeat, Brazilian, orchestral, electronic, and world groove. Cal plays an array of guitar styles as well as bass, mandolin, ukulele, and guembri (Morroccan/Gnawa bass lute) in his productions.

Areas of scoring expertise include show open themes, emulations of any given reference track/musical genre/era, and the integration of ethnic music styles from any desired corner of the world. Tongue-in-cheek musical satire is another CalZone specialty: ironic cover arrangements, over-the-top genre parodies, and other feats of comedic scoring--from subtly sardonic to outrageously hyperbolic--are served with extra relish. 

Cal has worked with Subaru Asia, Bully Entertainment/Cosi Games (for Pelé: Soccer Legend, >7mm downloads), Pilot (for FX, AMC, CMT), Cartoon Network/Adult Swim, Men In Blazers (VICE Sports), Organic, Brass Ideas, Cibo, Evolve Media, Disher Sound (for PlayStation Magazine/Gran Turismo 4), and director Banker White/WeOwnTV.

After a decade of touring, recording with, and producing an array of rock, funk, and jazz bands including the award winning Bay Area afrobeat ensembles ALBINO! and Aphrodesia, Cal earned an MFA in music production for visual media at Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
