OUTHOUSE: exploring the universe

Sun Oct 14, 11:00 PM by Mark Rechler

So I mentioned in my last email that George & I were working on a new project called “OUTHOUSE”. It is project that will explore the deep space of music and grooves from genre’s such as Ambiant & Downtempo as well as Chill, Urban Lounge, & Trance. I wrote the first CD’s music to work with an Amazing Vinyasa Yoga class my friend Sarah Intonato does and we performed it live actually at a retreat she did this past weekend that was totally killer.

The Instrumental music morphs from total meditational space drone through worldly electronic grooves and percussion like in some futuristic sci fi bar in India in 2084 and builds to a sweaty frenzy where it recoils back down ultimately to another deep trance space journey.

This is Stoner music people! Music that can either be behind while you just groove along not knowing why you feel so good, or is the background music for your Tantra Sex classes you have been taking at the New School in NYC, or maybe is just the thing you need to put on after that joint you burnt down. :)

I digress, the first CD is based around an Instrument called a HANG. A flying saucer like Instrument George and I fell in love with a few years a ago. The Hang sounds like a cross between a Gamelan Gong and a Steel Drum. We luckily bought 2, as they were only made for a few years out of Switzerland and they are near impossible to get now. We used the Hang as a spine in every cut of this new CD which we are currently calling “The Hang Sessions”.

We will quickly follow up with another one as well packed with world groove and synth moog waves of lush musical goo. Hope you check some out. Also see the music download section just to the right for a sample and we will let you know when it available for purchase. Keep your ear out too as we will be performing it live! CHILLLLLLLLl
