Fraud is the brainchild of multi instru-mentalist james allsopp and drummer tim giles and features the daemonic antics of guitar antichrist stian westerhus, the frankly sick drumming of ben reynolds and the keyboard melting stylings of fraudulent german philip hochstratte.
their music combines ruthlessly trimmed funk, electronic soundscapes and abbatoire improv with a cut and paste approch to structure.
they have been tipped as a band to watch out for (particularly on a dark night in a back alley) by birmingham and cheltenham artistic director tony dudley-evans in jazz uk magazine and have been featured in the taking off section of jazzwise magazine.
since they formed in may 2005 they have played all over london for no money and were part of the jerwood rising stars programme at the 2006 cheltenham jazz festival and have been featured on bbc radio 3's jazz on 3 programme. The tracks on the site are from their debut album "Fraud" which is available from www.fraudmusic.co.uk and which has been nominated for a BBC Jazz Award for album of the year

L'ENSEMBLE ARCHIMUSIC Invite les chanteuses Mama Draba et Aminata Kanté, les percussionnistes Issakha Sow et Bacary Touré Pour une série de 8 concerts du 3 au 13 septembre 2009 à Montreuil (93)
I uploaded two new tracks, called “I Love Your Swingin’ in a Swing” & “Evening Dress (Another Kiss)”.
*******
“I Love Your Swingin’ in a Swing” ; Partly polyrhythm of 3/4 & 4/4. ; Motown beats. ; I intentionally wrote so catchy melody with mainly using major keys (so this track is very different from my old works).
“Evening Dress (Another Kiss)” ; I tried to make a track like bossa nova, but the finished is nothing but a strange one… ; And it sounds obscene though I tried to make a elegant one… maybe factor’s a sound of guiro. ; Modulations will come twice. ; In the second interlude, there’s a section like trance music... BPM is over 300.
*******
It will be nice if you give me your impressions… please check those over if you have a time. I’m looking forward to receiving your words.
See ya! [MATA-NE] (‘u‘)b -OMC from Tokyo- Classical / New Wave / Progressive
Quand un quatuor classique s'enflamme sur un rythme à 5 temps, porté par un quartet de jazz et des tambours de l'Afrique et des Antilles, notre sale histoire commune liée par les chaînes de l'esclavage s'écrase devant l'évidence que l'humanité respire et gronde dans l'altérité.

Please let me introduce about my new track, "Visions in the Sky".
・・・・・・・・・・
・This track freely changes the tempo, like BPM 170 → 40 → 190 → (stacks 2 or 4) → 170 → 40.
・The main melody(4/4 rythum) is like classic music's one, but the low part(3/4 rythum) is like jazz-pop's one.
・In the latter half, this track becomes spacy, like 80's progressive hard rock・・・but I only used a piano sound. It will show you what are "visions". Raindrops, comets, clouds・・・Every image will be right.
