description
Smooth,
funky, jazzy, cool and electronic! With a good portion of
e-vibes Hibernation appears in a well balanced mixture of
'handcrafted' playing plus contemporary sampling & programming
wrapping up a wide range of musical genres to a spicy 21.
century audio-plesure package.
Well,
if you ask me what music this exactly is supposed to be –
I can’t really tell you since I’m not sure myself
:) I’ve recorded Hibernation over the past three years
and like most people I tend to shift in my musical favourites
what of course influences whatever I’m working on at
the time. Styles move from club-beats to nu-jazz spiced up
with tons of arpeggiators and layers giving it an electronica
and ambient flavour. However, I believe there is a red line
throughout the album holding it together. Basically the recording
of Hibernation was my personal experience of finding a way
to combine electronic music and typical jazz, funk and rock
guitar in a well balanced sound and musical arrangement –
and believe me, due to the contrary nature of these two sound
worlds that sometimes was quite a challenge. On the other
hand I’ve latterly raped my goo’ ol’ sixstrings
with all sorts of processor-units and plug-in’s so you
can hardly identify them as guitars. For all of you who dig
the sound of Sunsailor go ahead and download your legal copy
of the music from one of these retailers, leave me a note
in the guestbook and sign up for the newsletter so I can update
you on new music releases. Have fun, enjoy and stay tuned
