Re: Verbosity by Jeff X

This is a collections of music I created around 2003. There are no words on this "album" so in some ways its about how much we convey to each other without being "Verbose".

This was an interesting time in music where Electronic Music was coming face to face with "real music" -- DJs starting claiming to be musicians (and some certainly are) - drum machines sounds were "in". This music captures some of that as I was gaining hand-holds with this emerging technology and it allowed me to create all of this in a small East Village apartment with just a laptop. We take this for granted now.

Credits

released October 4, 2003

Jeff Xolber - composition, arrangement and production by me - Jeff, Except for Blessed Relief, written by Frank Zappa and Wrapped Around Your Stinger which was written by The Police. Many of the beats used on this are direct from the Boss Dr. Beat drum machine - they are classics and deserve some credit here.

Thanks to those who lent me instruments and gear used to make this happen: Gibson melody maker guitar, Fender Mustang Bass, Line 6 POD (they were NEW back then!), Dr. Beat. and the crack codes for Logic. And thanks to all my friends for their support and inspiration at this time: Dan, Kilsy, Jeff, Mimi, Arlan, Pete, Scott, Brenda. Thanks all.
