Gilgamesh

Slow swinging, warm, shimmering, experimental, moody, boozy, jazz (if you must, though I usually say "oddios" ("adios")--weird sounds that go/move). Echoes of Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Rafael Toral. Composed and played by Joby Otero. Guitar, drums, bass, soprano sax.

Happy It's Working Again

Instrumental, with emphasis on the mental. A story of wandering and discovery in the past and future, fact and fiction.

Drums, frame drum, guitar, and some weird eastern european string-percussion thingy, all played together, one-man-band style. Then overdubbed piano and bass.

2017 Joby Otero. All instruments by Joby Otero.
Recorded Sunday, September 3, 2017 in Los Angeles, CA.

Balisaurus

Inspired by a trip to Prague, Czech Republic in August 2017, particularly the palette and architecture of the city.

Composed and recorded on the flight home (Thanks, Lufthansa!), with a little editing at home in LA.
