ROSS GARREN  Sounds in Space

AKofie-RossGarren-Space-o-metric (Original).jpg

An orchestral, retro-futuristic 5 song EP from composer/producer/multi-instrumentalist Ross Garren. Co-produced/mixed by multiple Grammy winner Dave Way, and enlisting a handful LA's younger guard of studio aces, Sounds in Space delivers a clever set of music unapologetically steeped in the high production value instrumental Lounge and Exotica music of yesteryear from a wholeheartedly modern perspective. Think Juan Esquivel with a laptop!

Pian-oMatic

Steampunk Philip Glass goes to the Wild West! A motoric, keyboard-driven locomotive takes us on a fantastic journey to a land inhabited by spring reverb-bathed baritone guitars, an out-of-tune saloon piano and 1970's samplers, giving us a glimpse into American frontier life from a different corner of the multiverse.

Machine Made Man

The Jetsons go bar hopping! A light-hearted evening in Orbit city starts at a Tiki bar, scored by the exotic sounds of glitched-out pan flutes and Latin percussion, and ends boogying the night away to the galaxy's favorite Memphis BBQ-flavored Booker T. & the MG's tribute band, The Big Bang Band of Boogie.

Dream In Color

If Cinderella were a robot. Quirky mellotrons, rare polyphonia harmonicas and funky distorted bell keyboards go for an elegant, but somewhat janky, trip to the ballet. They try to be fancy -- it's not easy for them -- and in the end they sort of succeed in their own way.

Photocellular Swing

The instrumental Beach Boys track that never was. When Van Dyke Parks, a Mellotron, an Optigan and a trombone were cryogenically frozen, sent to outer space, revived 150 years later and asked to write an upbeat number conjuring the music of their youth, this is what happened.

Hollywood Ending

Sexy driving repetitive rhythm, the title implies its potential. A synth pad breakdown the back to the grind with an added melody and a surprise twist at the end.
