about

It's easy to overcomplicate jazz music. That's not an excuse for my lack of virtuosity...but, I'm admittedly far more interested in crafting unique textures to share space together than impressing anybody else with complex chords and solos.

While recording these tracks I studied the way VHVL, Afrikan Sciences, and Carlos Niño explore pattern and texture when sequencing synths. I drew lessons from past and present artists who've expanded the potential of beats and incorporate a spirit of playfulness in their drumming: ?uestlove, Timbaland, Ras G, Blvck Spvde, Devonwho, Will Logan and JD Beck.

I can't escape the influence of artists who've shaped my perspective on modern jazz more than anyone: Herbie Hancock, Steven Ellison and Otis Jackson Jr (Yesterdays' New Quintet). These guys have shown a lifelong commitment to heartwarming, vibrant and spiritually nourishing music in the true tradition of jazz.

It's also important to admit how influential brazilian masters like Dom Um Romão, Airto Moreira, Domenico Lancelotti and Kassin have been on me and my music. They seem to acknowledge (in their arrangements and improvisation) the true hybrid nature of most masterpieces, including often overlooked contributions of indigenous natives and african culture.

I've tried the same while recording these pieces. Noemie is a collection of songs which spring from a modern, african approach to electronic improvisation.
