Extreme Violins (feat. ScottyDogg & daveo1977)

Imagine if they came not to invade, but to dance! In "Freqz" I tried sounds I wouldn't usually go for. I was inspired by Fatboy Slim's "all in" attitude best heard on Better Living Through Chemistry. "Freqz" is mid-tempo breakbeat with a sci-fi soul.

I am captivated by the atmospheres on Depeche Mode's "Violator" album, so when I set out to create "Detective Undersea" I had those sounds in mind. I also wanted to explore polyrhythms, à la Jacob Collier but all I could muster was a waltz. "Detective Undersea" is experimental, yet mysteriously soothing.

I'm a video editor. I dig my job, but I get a real kick from writing tunes. The computer is my blank page. Someday I'll travel to Los Angeles and take in the scene. Kenny Larkin, 'Azimuth' still rocks.
