songs.
The following albums are currently available for purchase, please click
on the album title
for a track listing and a more detailed description of the music on
that cd.
Though electric guitar was my first instrument, these are not guitar
based albums, i will explain as best i can
the musicial nature of each track.
My music covers a wide variety of genres, including space music, modern
classical, heavy/thrash metal, experimental,
electronic, avant guarde, hard ambient, structured improvisation and
also includes rock and jazz elements.
Please be aware that this music does not sound like anybody else.
However, there are elements in my music
that may contain elements indicative of the artists: Frank Zappa,
King Crimson, John Zorn, Rollins Band,
Miles, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Steve Vai, John Cage, Joe Satriani,
Robert Fripp, Tangerine Dream, Brain Eno,
Pink Floyd, Phish, among others.
This is to provide a point of reference so that you will some idea of
what to expect within these albums.
All of the music was recorded live using the overdubbing technique,
there are no pre-programmed drum beats
or samples of other artists material. Everything was played live
in real time.
There was no consideration
given as to the key, time signature or tempo
and for the majority of the songs the keys, time signatures and tempos
will vary throughout.
I am in the process of creating 45 second samples for each track.
These will neither be the first 45 seconds nor the last 45 seconds of
the track. They will one "song" containing the samples. For
some albums, there will be a first half 45 second sample song and a
second half 45 second song. These will be available on my myspace page
at www.myspace.com/jeremymatthewklein
. I will provide a link to the lyrics for those songs that
contain vocals.
Please be aware that some of the vocal songs contain EXPLICIT CONTENT,
these will be indicated next to the song
title. However, the majority of the songs are instrumental and
therefore are appropriate for any age.
