✨I N T O T H E V O I D✨an interstellar voya

✨I N T O T H E V O I D✨an interstellar voyage through cinematic funk, r&b and neo-soul 🚀not long after I moved to Brooklyn, I remember improvising these opening chords using a vocal synth patch on my old @nordkeyboards electro. I made a recording on my iPhone, and the memo sat on my phone for years. it wasn’t until November 2021 that I rediscovered it, and decided to arrange it for a five part vocal choir, performed by superstar ⭐️ @artajekabsone. the track also features the extra terrestrial talents of @levdoron @sarpay_ozcagatay @sdsaxophone @_davelevy 👽👾🥁🎺🎷🪈🔥our now in all the places you like to listen and watch 💙📺📻🎧👀🚀#newmusic #jazz #funk #beats #pickupjazz #neosoul #playlist #spotify

@adamabeshouse was an incredible father, mentor and friend to so many. a humble man, a lynchpin of his community and greatly admired by anyone who met him. this is all before mentioning: a three time @recordingacademy Grammy award + Latin Grammy award winning recording engineer and producer of 900+ records over a career spanning 4 decades, working regularly with the worlds most accomplished artists in the greatest temples of acoustic sound from @skywalkersound to @airstudioslyndhurst (before he then built his own custom concert hall recording studio). add to this being an accomplished violinist who performed everywhere.Adam Abeshouse is a titan of industry. He defined the gold standard of sound for an entire genre of music. He had an outstanding knowledge of tradition and nuance, which he paired with a penchant for pushing boundaries and unmatched empathy in bringing through an artist’s vision. His genius manifested through his understanding of music as a universal language, and how to capture live performance into timeless sound. this went beyond the bounds of classical music.Adam passed away last Thursday from cancer. He will forever be one of the best and most humble people I’ve known. He is deeply intertwined and influential in all the music I’ve written to date, and will be in all the notes that are to come. I’ll forever hold onto the first piece of advice he gave me when I was barely starting out: “trust your ears”. Whether it’s listening this wisdom in my head as I navigate the world without him, or the sounds in my Genelecs, I’ll always follow his words to the best of my ability. Adam’s legacy continues with the Classical Recording Foundation, an organization he started in 2002 to catalyze and stimulate the classical music recording field. I encourage anyone to check out the incredible work being done. Love and miss you, Ad 💔❤️

how do you harmonize your ideas?⁠for me, sometimes its about surrendering. ⁠just throw your hands on the piano, and see what happens. ⁠this is an example of how i did just that in the breakdown section of Touché Hombre, which is out now on all platforms. this section was initially written as a unison flute and bass line. then one night, while experimenting with different sounds, i got inspired to throw these chords underneath. ⁠⁠this track is part of new EP, "Cinematic Chromatics Vol. II". stay tuned for a special announcement on that shortly. ⁠⁠shoutouts to @andrew_gould for his incredible solo at the end here 🎷❤️‍🔥⁠
