PURPLE SUN - RAW

This track was originally going to be part of my upcoming album 'Help Us Find The Groove', but I felt it didn't match the overall vibe of the album, so I'm releasing it here as it's own thing.

Here’s a jazz fusion plunderphonics track sampling sounds from several Mario Kart games. It’s no surprise that the game’s soundtrack is heavily inspired by jazz fusion. I decided to take some famous sounds from the games and even compose this tune using sound font emulations of instruments from Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart Doubledash (Gamecube) to capture the full Mario Kart experience.

I did break this rule however by adding some samples from several jazz fusion tracks, my own electric guitar licks and a blazing melodica solo, and all of this being in 7/8! Also, listen out for a famous lick in the solo, true Nintendo fans will know it!.

Composed using Soundfonts from 'Mario Kart Double Dash', Mario Kart Wii and some extra samples including Dave Weckl, Al Jarreau, Paula Abdul and extra drums from Logic and my trusty Melodica.

Blue Shells and Banana Peels (Bonus Track)

‘Help Us Find The Groove’ is a concept plunderphonics album in which the concept is in the title itself; What is my signature sound? 

It’s a personal expression of my experimentation of sampling from various different sources, but also sampling from my interest in improvisation and even some of my own recordings and previous tracks. Overall, it’s conveying the struggles of an artist finding their own sound, even if I’ve personally feel that I’ve found it!

Help Us Find The Groove

On Blue Dorian Road

It's another invention
With an intervention
It's another bleeping, blapping sound
Today

I find new ways to make 'em
Find new days
It's like a holiday I know
But nothing ever seems to grow

Dusty compartments align
They're lost up in time
They're bringing me life
Saying, Dusty compartments alive
They're bringing me high
And something in mind

Again, again
I made it again
With all these different sounds
Ringing in my Brain
It's enough to make me insane!

I find new ways to make 'em
Find new days
It's like a holiday I know
But nothing ever seems to grow

Dusty compartments align
They're lost up in time
They're bringing me life
Saying, Dusty compartments alive
They're bringing me high
And something in mind

Some kind of life
Some kind of life
Some kind of life

One, two, three, four
I wanna make some more
Gunna put them together
Said one, two, three, four
I Gunna make some more
But I'm hearing the same thing

It's 'Work, boy
Work, boy
Don't you ever stop, boy?

'Work, boy
Work, boy
Don't you ever stop, boy?

It's a play unfolding
How can I ever get this calling?

Dusty compartments align
They're lost up in time
They're bringing me life
Saying, Dusty compartments alive
They're bringing me high
And something in mind

Dusty compartments align
They're lost up in time
They're bringing me life
Saying, Dusty compartments alive
They're bringing me high
And something in mind
