MP3 Gaia13 - The Sea Turtle Project
Earth-rooted melodies mesh with strings, woodwinds, and mediums not so easily defined as Gaia13 presses a footprint of trip-hop beats, sporadic experimental rhythms, and heavy-handed funk grooves into the foundation of his music.
16 MP3 Songs
ELECTRONIC: Down Tempo, ELECTRONIC: Drum ''n Bass/Jungle
Details:
Gaia13 creates a lush downtempo vibe with ambient and experimental textures, punctuated by drum n bass style breaks.
The first album "Life on Planet Earth" was called "the best electronic CD" by Minor Scale Magazine in
Saint Louis and the second, "Inside the Star Furnace" remained at the top of the charts on KFJC in
California for more than a month in 2003.
"The Sea Turtle Project" (2005) is
grounded by complex but consistent percussion and bass layered with interwoven and
transcendent melodies. It''s the result of 10 months worth of recording and producing in the studio.
"I went in totally new directions with The Sea Turtle Project" said Gaia13 composer and producer Jim Baltz.
At times laid back and peaceful, at times nail-bitingly intense, the 16 track Sea Turtle Project is a powerful and danceable masterpiece.

"Uplifting and light as the air at dawn, the sound sphere of the music pours spirituality from an electronic vessel."

"A Message from outerspace!" -Unsound Records
"Vi presentiamo un musicista molto giovane e poco noto al pubblico italiano: Jim Baltz. Il suo interessante repertorio (pubblicato insieme ) si caratterizzano per un''ampia eterogeneità di stile e per numerosi esperimenti di texturing fra elettronica, musica etnica, strumenti tradizionali."

Neben einigen obligatorisch steppenden Brettern wie Trail of Funk finden sich unter den 16 Tracks auf der Scheibe auch relaxtere Tracks mit Lounge und IDM Elementen . Die ruhigeren Momente auf der CD sind jedoch meisstens sehr funky und daher trotzdem 100% tanzbar. Daumen Rauf! Anspieltips: Afraid of the Dark, WhoRU?
