An ethereal hybrid of rock/jazz/blues with a bit of silliness thrown in for good measure...........Great exploratory music......

"Pat, We got your CD last week, and I must say you have a very creative mind with great ability to arrange. I thought it was also cool that you sent out the description of how you assembled and recorded each track. I am passing your name around to the list of my friends that I have, so you might expect some request. Keep Writing Pat!!!!!!! Thanks!"

Hooray!! I was used in the Tomato War!!!!
A very cool guy named Josh Leo here in Michigan used my tune "Funk In A" from Lo Fi Happiness as the soundtrack to his VLOG about the Grand Rapids Michigan "Tomato Festival". Check it out and spread the word!!
Greetings and welcome to LO FI HAPPINESS. This is my solo CD from March 2006, and one I am very proud of. Recorded on my old Marantz cassette 4 track, the idea was to record a solo project with a very distinct DIY feel. Funky, yet clean enough to listen to.
I did the bulk of this project (all tracks except numbers 3 and 8) on a Tascam Portastudio and a Marantz 4 track with a Korg Pandora’s Box for guitars and drums and a Danelectro Pepperoni Phaser for the bass on some tracks, just to beef it up. Tracks 3 and 8 were done live in the studio with the credited musicians.
The CD’s title comes from the fact that these tunes were done at home, in some cases crudely, and all tracks were recorded without bouncing tracks. Final mixes done in the summer of 2005.
Awakening, the base tracks for Lunar Strut/Martian Launch, Music for a Car Commercial, and One Man Sloppy Funk (w/me on drums) were all done on the Tascam. All other tracks (including final recording of Lunar Strut/Martian Launch) were done on the Marantz. Tracks 3 and 8 recorded at Watchtower Recording (now closed) and mixed by studio engineer/owner Joel Butts in 2001.
This is the “best” stuff from the little cassettes I had lying around, with the 2 studio cuts thrown in for good measure. I hope that you enjoy listening to them as much as I enjoyed writing/recording them.
Much Love!
Pat Zelenka
