New compilations by the Materia Collective
Recently, I had the pleasure of recording to many albums from the Materia Collective. Two of them have been released recently, a tribute to Octopath Traveler and a tribute to Silent Hill.
On FLAMESGRACE: A Tribute To Octopath Traveller, I had the pleasure of recording two songs. The first one is a cool arrangement by Fredrik Häthén entitled “The Coastlands“. The second one is an arrangement created with my project Materia Brasilis – a group known for bringing brazilian rhythms and styles to the game music world. We had a guest jazz horn player, JohnStacy, and Peter Jones on trumpets. It all sums up to an orchestral experience that reminisces the exotic work of Villa Lobos as much as the bossa nova of Tom Jobim, entitled “Atlasdam, Seat of Learning”.

On OTHERWORLD: A Tribute to Silent Hill, I recorded for six tracks. The album has an experimental, industrial nature. If you’re still on the brazilian feel, listen to “Otherside“, a jazzy bossa arrangement created by Justin Levine. I recorded acoustic guitars for this song.
“Forest“, is a choral arrangement by John Michael Hunt, to which I contributed recording tenor voices. “Room of [Dark] Angels“, by JDWasabi and Luci Holland, includes some ambient recordings by me. But spooky-wise, the great star is an arrangement of My Heaven, which I did using monotron analog synthesizers and a washing machine (yep, I was beating a washing machine to create that rhythm).

Two other tracks were created by Free The Green Beans, a band to which I play guitars. The first one is “Echo The Absurd“, a track heavily inspired by the music of David Bowie. The second one is a very interesting track inspired by Nine Inch Nails, where most of the sounds and nosies were created with a heavily processed guitar sound. No synths were used there.
