Synopsis
All the songs on "The Turntable Instrumentalist" were recorded and produced with 1 Turntable, 1 Scratch Mixer, 1 MPC 2500, 1 MicroKorg, 1 ton of vinyl, 1 gallon of samples and the help of DAW software. The basic idea for this album is to express myself through turntables and chopped-up samples to tell a story as a song would. From a scratch DJ's perspective, I want to perform the songs 'live' as a jazz artist would. Hence the B-side of the CD, which is a completely freestyle jamming/recording session with some of the best musicians in Singapore. We got together at a studio one evening, set-up a 32 channel mixer, and recorded everything we played. Each song is one take with no furthering editing, except of course to shorten the length - it's got to fit on this CD!
Many thanks for inspiring me:
