Collective Acoustics consists of three composers, musicians, and engineers based in Philadelphia. This talented trio gathers often to improvise and tweak their sounds through vintage and custom built pre-amps, compressors, echoes, EQs, and delays. The happy results are some vibrant and exciting music that is equally at home in the jazz bin, streaming in a late-night lounge, or for film and television productions needing a hyper fix of mellow. Important note: Real Musicians, No Samples, No Loops, and No MIDI...
Latin influenced drum n bass. Equal parts Squarepusher, Keane, and Mongo Santamaria. Piano, jazz drums, and sneaky bass lines. Happy, playful, blissful, sunny, cheeky. I love you man, but seriously, each of these texts costs me a quarter. Instrumental, Jazz, Nu Jazz
Bossa Nova influenced jazzy trip hop. The sounds of Brazil and Bristol meeting at the Knitting Factory. Jazzy Abstract music with funky organ, drums, bass and acoustic. Funny, groovy, romantic comedy, video game, kids cartoon, family teens tweens. Light, bouncy, quirky and playful. Instrumental, Jazz, Acid Jazz
Upright bass anchors a slow building ruminative composition. Gently revolving leslie organ and swirling brushes ease our minds. Clavinets evoke a koto-esque Asian feeling. Smooth sailing at the beginning gradually leads to more drama as we head towards pirate infested waters. Instrumental, Jazz, Chillout Jazz
During a freak snowstorm, Roni Size and Joe Jackson are stranded at Abbey Road studios with Dave Holland. The three men then create a hybrid of their sounds: energetic drum n bass rhythms with pop piano changes and serious jazz bass. They also grab all the old analog synths out of the storage room. Instrumental, Jazz, Nu Jazz
