over one dozen collabs with musician friends...

and almost so many hours of music making.

WELCOME TO ANOTHER M...

ANOTHER M IS A SEVEN-TRACK EP THAT RETELLS THE STORY OF INTERGALACTIC BOUNTY HUNTER SAMUS ARAN FROM THE CLASSIC NINTENDO GAME METROID AS SHE IS IMAGINED BY PRODUCER, RAPPER, AND FEMINIST WARRIOR SAMMUS.

USING THE VEHICLE OF SELF-PRODUCED HIP HOP BEATS INSPIRED BY THE GAME’S SOUNDTRACK IN COMBINATION WITH HEARTFELT LYRICS AND DELIVERY, SAMMUS TAKES LISTENERS ON A JOURNEY FROM SAMUS’ LONELY CHILDHOOD WITH THE CHOZO RACE TO HER EPIC BATTLE AGAINST THE EVIL MOTHER BRAIN.

SO, WHY DEVOTE AN EP TO SAMUS? WHAT IS THE CONNECTION
BETWEEN A SPACE-TRAVELING BOUNTY HUNTER AND A RAPPER AND PRODUCER FROM UPSTATE NEW YORK?

FOR THE UNINITIATED, SAMUS ARAN’S IDENTITY REMAINS A SECRET FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE ORIGINAL METROID GAME AND ONLY UPON BEATING THE GAME’S BOSS, MOTHER BRAIN, IS IT REVEALED THAT UNDERNEATH THE ARMOR STANDS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN UNAPOLOGETIC GLORY. FOR MANY MALE AND FEMALE GAMERS, YOUNG SAMMUS INCLUDED, THIS REVELATION MARKED A CRITICAL SHIFT IN THEIR ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT GENDER IN GAMES AND THE WORLD MORE GENERALLY. IN SIMILAR WAYS SAMMUS CHALLENGES GENDER STEREOTYPES -- IN HER CASE THOSE RELATED TO HER PROWESS AS A PRODUCER. IN ADDITION, YOUNG SAMMUS FOUND IN VIDEO GAMES A WELCOME ESCAPE FROM EVERYDAY LIFE, SO MUCH SO THAT HER EVENTUAL IDENTITY AS A PRODUCER EMERGED FROM A DESIRE TO CRAFT MUSIC FOR VIDEO GAMES.

WHETHER THE EXTRA M STANDS FOR MELANIN, OR MUSICIAN,
ANOTHER M SERVES AS A TRIBUTE TO ONE OF MANY EXCEPTIONAL WOMEN WHO FIRST TAUGHT SAMMUS TO DREAM.

The Breathing Effect (forthcoming Alphapup artists) bring their vision to Los Angeles' Beat Scene with their Jazz infused creations. This is their gorgeous cover of The Light Brigade's Baba Yaga.

Baba Yaga (Breathing Effect Cover)

This set is dripping in psychedelia, a journey deep into eclectic territories of electronica. The setting was perfect, a bushy Mojave Desert location, its 2pm, people had been dancing their asses off since 10pm the night before, and now its time for Treavor to dive deep into the slower grooves oozing in mystical soundscapes and grounding tribal vibes!!!

Good News: Calaminus' back to groove again!
After 5 weeks without any music making the funk got me finally and I felt it's "Time To GROOVE Again" :-)

Well, hope you'll enjoy this "comeback" tune - really appreciate if you do & tell me by comments, likes, reposts, downloads, head wobbling, feet tipping, dancing...
whatever you feel or do is good and groovy ;-)

This track's also a dedication to all my caring friends here at SC - those you encouraged & motivated me to come back:

Dan, Jamie, Akis, Dave Listwa, Ba2, Lolo, Florian, the guys of "Funkgression", Roy Smith, JJ (aka BIT s), Kevin McCuistion..

THANK YOU SO MUCH for giving me the feeling to be not alone. Your respect and sympathy means a lot to me, helped a lot & will always be given back to you, my friends!

Cheers,
Jörg

Recently, https://soundcloud.com/tota-ueno released a video with this song in the background on Youtube: https://exit.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FdpjQrQv4cJk
It's about his project of solar aviation... so it's "Time to FLY Again" as well ;-)

Time To Groove Again *CALAMINUS is BACK!*

This is BUHAY and you better catch it
before it catches you :-)

For another time the fun(k) caught me as well with this playful groovy tune, almost zappaesque in moments...
It's also not the most typical Calaminus funky track, cause I tried to involve more hooks, chops, hits, little spanks of nasty little things & surprises than usual. So it's not a theme-orientated work, but one for the funk of it - the nitty-gritty :-)

So happy to be back with music - hope you'll share my happiness & enjoy this catchy tune as I enjoyed playing it!
And thanks so much for all your warm & hearted "Welcome back" greetings I've received in the last days.
It's uplifting & a  real pleasure to be here!!!

Buhay (or You Better Catch It!)

Here We Are

Arrangement : Yoann Turpin. Composition: Kōji Kondō . 2015

Remix / Chiptune: Zelda's Dance Theme

Proudly presenting you  "Roads" 
with the tasty bliss of New Canaan's 
most appealing and prolific musician
Jamie Rhind ( https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind )
on his splendid keys.

It's the first track - of hopefully many works in the future - Jamie and I created together on a tune of Calaminus. So this is a special pleasure and honour as well for me.
Previously we had some attractive collabs on tunes of Jamie and a few other great tracks, that I can warmly recommend to you...
I'm more than pleased & thankful, that Jamie joined ... with Rhodes ;-)

We headed with Jamie, then going into some call & response over the tasty bass line - Jamies rhodes first on the left, my rhodes on the right after. Following to the hymnic theme (with some wonderful accompaniments of Jamie using a choir/french horn-layered pad), we both solo on our "Roads" with our rhodes. The finish is like cruising into the warm sunset...

We hope, you'll enjoy cruisin' with us on these "Roads" :-)
As we enjoyed playing together for you...

If you do, spread the word, like, repost, downlaod, comment the track and give Jamie all your ears & appreciation...
And don't hesitate to explore more of his jazzy goodness at 
https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind  

Have fun(k) :-))

..."Tomé su mano y la conduje hasta ese reloj llamado cuore. El mío, claro."... Mario Benedetti
Esta música evoca las dos instancias que se presentan en la composición; esa que viene del corazón y esa que viene de la razón pura. Se conjugan ambas partes en esta pieza a través de el género Partido Alto y Samba (Brasil). Contando un poco ese mundo interno que es llegar a una melodía o una canción...

El día domingo... un dia en el que nos encontramos con nosotros mismos, un dia de resolución, de pasado y futuro, introspectivo. 
Para algunos un día como cualquiera, para otros un día de soledad...
