B-Jaggist is the accomplishement of Chris Dony's musical journey. Chris started playing music with a rock/pop band in high school and then evolved in his own direction in college, discovering all new kinds of music, from bossa nova to electronica and acid jazz. Chris's music is characterized by sampling and scratching elements, tonal harmonies, hip hop beats and ambient elements. It is a delightful combination of various styles and techniques which relieves the listener. So sit back, chill out and enjoy the music.
Check it out! I wrote a free book on music production! It's for total beginners, but if you aren't new to music production, maybe you'll still learn something... at least you can send it to your friends who always want to ask you a billion questions about music production! It's free so...
Un grand merci pour tes idées. C'est vrai qu'un sample dans l'intro (genre voix légèrement distortionné) serait pas mal. Pour la mélodie à trois minute, pas facile car la mélodie principale est déjà a quatre voix et en rajouter une cinquième n'est pas simple.
En tout cas merci c'est le genre de commentaire que j'aime lire.
Man, you are all over it - it's like you're in my head. Everything you've mentioned is exactly what I intend to do with the track. It's very much at 'idea' stage right now. I actually have managed to hook up with someone who thinks very much along the same lines as me with music. We've been discussing possible ways to perform live together but we are going to be spending a bit of time in the studio before we give that any serious thought. When the time comes, however, I will be sure to let you know. Peace, Gatti
Hi there! Thrown a new track (Ipcress File) up on my page. I've attempted to play around with some different styles and techniques. Let me know what you think!
Hey there! Thanks so much for your comment. At the moment, I haven't given much thought to reproducing these tracks live. I've been arranging most of the sounds in Cubase and Ableton and using Reason for a few extra sounds. I use a combination of samples from old vinyl (got an awesome second hand store around the corner) and midi. Playing this stuff live would be fantastic but, so far, the only way I can think to do it is burn them to CD. Sorry I can't be much help but please feel free to throw through any more questions. Peace.
Hey thanks so much for the kind words. If you're trying to get a hold of our new CD, it's avaiable at CdBaby.com or on the iTunes Music Store. Pick a copy up and help the DA get a sandwich!
Merci pour l'ajout et le commentaire. (ça fait toujours plaisirs), Franchement je peux te retourner le compliment, ça sonne de la rage ici, une belle ambiance urbaine et nocturne faite de mélancolie et de tranquilité.
Hola HOla Mr Jagg ! Nous voici mis d'accord pour une inévitable collaboration musicale :-) Pas de concert le 13/07 finalement mais la prochaine date sympa sera "nôtre" ! Bonnes notes en attendant :-) Bisous from Delya et merci d'être venu :-)
Salut B-Jaggist, merci pour la critique, c'est assez vrai que parfois ça manque de mouvement (surtout sur The Emperor's Waltz je trouve). Et pour répondre à ta question, pour l'instant, je travaille beaucoup derrière mon PC. J'aimerais évidemment faire des concerts, mais je n'ai pas encore beaucoup de morceau, et je suis seulement en train de réfléchir à comment jouer tout ça sur scène (j'ai deux semaines de congés début juillet, je vais m'y mettre à fond et je suppose qu'après je serai (presque)prêt. Sinon merci pour ta proposition de collaboration, c'est très intéressant. Faut voir ce qu'on peut faire. A bientôt autour du cybermonespace ou autour d'un verre ou d'une gratte ou que sais-je encore
