Re: New CD Project - Looking for a Partner

Which is why I suspect Kris is going to have a hard time finding a taker, because he's essentially asking someone else to write his album for him. But you never know.
 
Well, I had a few takers in the first 10 minutes after I send the message, and I expect many more, so I'm not sure what this reflects on your comment.  I expect this to be a collaboration, not just someone laying down a foundation and me adding the icing on the cake.

Honestly, if I was capable/willing to come up with a CD-length collection of booty-shaking beats and bass lines in the latest dance genre, the first person I would be calling to play on it would NOT be a musician who wanted "to portray a serious representation of jazz influences creative music over popular rhythm." Nope. I would be auditioning attractive female singers, cutting a single, and shopping it.
 
That would be really inspiring. Do it!   I'm sure you will sell millions of copies, since no one appears to be combining booty shaking beats and female singers. Nope...that's a rarity in the music scene for sure. ;-) 

Kris, if I were you, I would look in to getting some of the latest/greatest sample CD's and use those. Maybe you colud augment the tracks with a live rhythm section after you've laid down your own playing.
 
Been there, done that, man. Fuck, it's not a matter of me not being able to do the shit myself, but about the collaboration with another person. You missed the point, I'm afraid.  I like to colloborate with other musicians, not sit in my basement and create shit in a vacuum.   Making music with other people, imo, is a beautiful thing. I produces a product that each person could never do on their own.  Chemistry.
