Description : Richard Shekari and I worked on this project earlier this year. I play bass, guitar, banjo, dobro and also sing on this. Richard added a cool harmonica sound and has an amazing voice. I have learned a lot from him, Richard produced this track.

Thank you Manuela for listening, I am so honored to work with Richard on this song. His voice and heart brings so much joy into the project and having him produce the song is always and extra bonus because of his knowledge in making something sound full and complete, so stoked you like the song!

So stoked you like it KayOs! I dig the way Richard mixed this, trading between my dobro and banjo, gave it a real Cajun feel almost bluegrass. His voice and conviction reminds me of the old Onward Christian Soldiers hym completely all in so sick!

You two always bring a smile to my face. Beautiful harmony and you still got a bit of a country twist goin on! I had imaginings of you two going on The Voice and Will I Am turning his chair :)

Richard always tells me, Lets do a Country song, but it always ends up not quite in that lane, so for you to say that it has a country twist is a great accomplishment for me. When I first heard Richards voice I was blown away and thought, oh man this is the perfect Reggae sound. I was so stoked he wanted to work with me. Cool imagery of The Voice, I hope He turns haha!!

Description : Music composed by Alex Richard and Laurent Wirz. With: Hanspeter Dubach Lead and rhythm guitars, Alex Richard Bass and rhythm guitars, Claude Barbotte Hammond organ, Joël Perrin Saxophone and me at the drums. The two grooves I used for this one are to find under Loops and Sample, member laurentwirz, reggae. Also an excellent loop from member ebae. I have to say that I asked Michael Mayo before publishing it but I received no answer yet. It was pretty difficult with his acapella because it's a pretty short loop with not a lot of words (for an almost 5 minutes track)! You can ear also some background vocals from Patricia Edwards and I hope it's okay for her.

Description : A quick idea I did in one day, 2 mixes, more an exercise for myself than anything serious. Inspirations were a Peter Tosh docu for the reggae feel, a surfing vid on what a point break was for the vox, the Ace of Bass vid The Sign for the drums and Jaco Pastorius song Crisis for a bit of inspirational bass thrown in. 2 drum loops used and a vocal effect loop for the heck of it in the middle, he. Live percussion, cabasa, guiro and double maraca. Me on git, bass, vox. Here comes Summer!

Description : NEW - 2014 - I used a few samples from sterixx called riddim.
And one from seanmccuaig called vocal beat.
I used some lyrics from an older song by myself. It was more a dark wave song befor but i realy enjoyed it to sing and produce it in reggae style.
Hope you enjoy this version also.
