Chill Out Songs, Tunes, Beats & Mixes

Description : A mellow song inspired from a weekend in the city of Grand Rapids, MI. Imagine a downtown region with cool buildings, pretty lights, and a river.
Peace

Description : Uh, nice to be back after a little break. However I have been quite busy with this one. One that I'm actually quite happy with. I know I promised to put up a happy and uptempo song... but... eh... then I took an arrow to the knee, eh I mean the melancholy got me again. I still hope you like it though. I'm looking for lyrics and vox on this one if anyone is interested?

Description : My new track Mello D music to chill out too :)

Description : A meditative style track. Thanks to eshar and blairrock957 for their beautifully spoken words.

Description : Second track - after 'Costello' - in my 'The Paris Tapes'-project. Nu Jazz/Chillout. This track features a rap by Kcentric on ccMixter. Kcentrix is an electronic music composer and lyricist who carves out a unique niche by fusing Hip Hop, Jazz, Spoken Word, Breakbeat, and Electronic styles. I incorporated (parts) of his rap 'Dream Of You' in this laid back, short groove, highlighted by Miles Davis-inspired muted trumpet-sounds. This, again, is an attempt to create a 'big city vibe'. It's part of a project wich I hope to finish this year, featuring (jazz)artists from all over the world in unusual musical settings, created by me. PS: the beautiful face in the picture is of former adult performer Sasha Grey. The pic is from the the 2009 movie 'The Girlfriend Experience' by Steven Soderbergh, a film that made a big impression on me. It's a drama set in the days leading up to the 2008 Presidential election, and centered on a high-end Manhattan call girl meeting the challenges of her boyfriend, her clients, and her work. As far as 'big city' is concerned, this is the soundtrack-feel I'm looking for.

Description : Steamy tune I wrote in 1999, No loops involved, just me & my Synths. I broke a cardinal rule of recording bass by not keeping the bass in the centre of the mix, but by recording 2 separate bass lines in counterpoint with one as the melody.

Description : A laid back lounge track circling the D7 minor key

I hope you enjoy its simplicity and grooviness.

Description : This is a track by SBM, who was kind enough to let me mess around with it. I added some Drums, guitar (rythm and lead) and bass. I had to put a little solo right in the middle, because the theme and chord prog. SBM made just told me to. Hope I do right by you SBM :-)

Downloads will be enabled as soon SBM says ok...

Description : 'Bosa Marina' is the second song I recorded with Phil B. - leadsinger of the famous Dutch bluesband King Mo - in 2012 (first was 'Rain'). This is probably my most intricate Jimi Hendrix-hommage until now. The lyrics where there first. I wrote them during a stay (2010) on Sardinia, the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. I had just re(read) 'Crosstown Traffic', the definite book on Jimi Hendrix by Charles Shaar Murray. With me I had 'Hendrix, setting the record straight' by John McDermott & Eddie Kramer and 'Room Full of Mirrors' by Charles R. Cross. From these three books I could distill some of Jimi's interests (other than music). I learned that he was fond of science fiction, the idea of time travel, ancient civilisations, native Americans (his grandmother was fullblood Cherokee), reincarnation and voodoo. I tried to combine these elements in lyrics I wrote in a place called Bosa Marina on Sardinia, actually feeling the past and the future melting together under a blistering sun on the beach. The music came a year later when I stumbled on the very beautiful loop 'piano pad combo' by Looperman-member ShortBusMusic. This was the exact, laid back, jazzy mood I was looking for. The loop was the fundament I build the track on. After Phil B. recorded the lyrics, I filled in the structure with sounds 'answering' the lyrics or announcing them, hoping to give it a really space-out feeling. I'm very grateful to Phil who did an excellent job on this. All in all 'Bosa Marina' took two years to finish.

Description : Laid Back Track.

Original track,no loops only the drums as usual(can't drum) Thanks for listeningX Mix is rough. I don't know which Genre toput it in!Comments appreciated.

Description : This track is heavily inspired by the the French noir movie Le Samourai (1967, Jean-Pierre Melville) starring Alain Delon as a lone wolf gun for hire in Paris. I wanted a melancholic, moody, big city-ambience, referring tot the solitude of the main character in the film. I could not get the track right untill I found the saxophone-solo's by Italian jazzplayer Sandro Marinoni who gave me permission to embed his fenomenal melodies in a rythmic, multi-layered structure. I am very grateful to Sandro and I expect to collaborate more often with him in 2013. The voice you hear in the beginning of the track is Alain Delon, citing (in an interview for French televison at the time of the premiere) the Book of Bushido, the code of honor for the Samourai. The English translation is: There is no greater solitude than that of the samourai unless it is that of the tiger in the jungle... Perhaps.
