Description:

This was my longest album in the making...overall it took about 9 months! However, it represented an evolution of Js.One music. I composed every song entirely which was a departure from the days of sampling. This is a landmark album because it took my abilities as a musician to the next plateau. I performed some of the songs (‘Nowhere Man", "Julie", and "Feelin’ It") at the Baggot Inn in NYC, among my first live performances. It also documents a point in my life in which depression and uncertainty for the future seemed to take control and I moved to college. Another big difference in this album is that the final sessions were done digitally on Cool Edit Pro.

 

Instruments used include electric guitar, acoustic guitar, keyboards, drum machine, and sitar (effect).

 

Cover Art:

The cover has three separate pictures fused together. The first is a picture of me as a child at my grandmother and aunt’s three family house. The second is merely a shot of clouds. The third is a shot of a mountain off in the distance. I think all three came together in a significant way. The overall intention was to show the child-like innocence and the span of hopes and goals, while bitter reality sets in.

"Feelin' It" is the first single off the album which is a work in progress "Nowhere Man (And The Phantom Piano Player)". It will feature other singles from the album as well.

cobalt blue/Album/2002

(Limited Release) Fall 02'

Singles:

[soul] searchin'

price of fame

a shame

Discription:

This album was produced in the span of one day (I already had the song tracks recorded). It consists of songs I wrote durring the summer of 2002 while working on the epic tale of "*Jsism* The Saga".

While I produced this I felt free as an artist more so than I ever had because I had all these songs lying around without an album and my style began to shift. I was beginning to expand as an artist and I didn't want to be tied down in one genre.So one day I had a flash idea to put all the songs I already had recorded but were albumless together and add some breakbeats. I arranged "cobalt blue" completely randomly. The title, the tracklising, the cover art, and even the mixing of the songs are all totaly random. It was an experiment, the idea behind that was that I believe I "over-thought" when putting an album together. Trying to impose a certain feeling on the listener in an abstract way. I figured if I went randon it was up to the listener to think and gather what he/she got from it on their own. In theory it would give every different listener a unique asthetic appeal, but wouldn't that happen anyway? Truly experimental.

Description:

A greatest hits of sorts. My most controversial album. I recorded this more like a movie than a music cd in that there are many talking interludes. The storyline is as follows:

The chronicling of the three years I spent releasing music in Waterbury. The story begins when I receive permission from the proprietor of a local music store to release my music there. Goes through every album and time period between 1999-2002. Guest appearances are throughout. Guests include:

"P"------------Pat

"Taya"---------LaTeya

"Mary A."------Mary A. (my grandmother!)

"Ecko"---------Tony Coles

Jade Dosier----(same)

As I mentioned this isn't the traditional music only Cd it's more of a story with my music as the backing. I was pleased with the way it turned out. So if your interested in the story of Js.One (with plenty of drama along the way) it's on "Jsism: The Saga". I also went bananas with this album making it a double disc because it ended up running long, the production cost was high, but I did what I had to.



[soul] searchin'/Single/2002

"[soul] searchin'" is my most acclaimed single. I planned on releasing it as a single with the b-side "the price of fame". "[soul] searchin'" was recorded last spring-summer as material for a new album. It's unique in that I sequenced the whole instrumental track (samples). It's a song about the search for the right way in life being blind to the fact (or just unsure)that you've already found it.

I give respect to the original songs composers..sorry, I don't know who you are.
