"Perfectly Human"
Music... What is it that makes a person cry, dance, dream? As I grow older I find myself to be more and more affected by music. I'll shed tears for what seems to be no reason, or dance in the kitchen when no one is looking. Right when I think I can put a finger on the perfect explanation, it escapes me. It seems like there should be a very logical explanation, but I can't find it. I believe it's a musician's goal to recreate those feelings seen in other people, and especially within themselves. It's a constant challenge to make that perfect composition, one that will make someone cry with inspiration, dance with no inhibitions, and dream with no boundaries. The power of music never ceases to amaze me.
This album is a compilation of what I have learned, the rhythms and ideas that have been passed along to me from friends and teachers. I feel very fortunate for the chance to create something like this. Before anything else is said, I'd like to thank my family, my teachers, and Blake Anderson for the opportunity to take on this project.
"One good thing about music is when it hits, you feel no pain... hit me with music."
-Bob Marley

2. Drum Talk 4:32
Through my many conversations about "drum talk", with students and peers, I thought it would be fun to do a piece like this. I take the ability to speak "drum talk" for granted. I realize this at the first awkward glance by a new student which is followed by an immediate giggle after singing a drum part to them. There are many different dialects of drum talk in this country, but as for basic styles there seems to be just three: Beat box (uhnze, ka tst tst), rudimental drum talk (biggada biggada bock), and scat (bada bee bop do wah). This piece incorporates drum set and turn table along with the three styles to make a very unusual piece of music. Many musicians have told me your voice is your first instrument; I agree with them.
